11:30pm to 4:11am


I Walked out of an RJD2 concert, it wasn't interesting enough, I wanted to play. Wanted to get some "work" done. The agreement was that we would all hit level 10 by monday, but leveling didnt go as quickly as planned; I only made it to 7 and a half from 5. The experience was amazing though, I made two in-game friends (a bright wizard and an engineer) headed over to the dwarf place, explored the capitol city, chilled with a few irl warjammer team members.

My throat hurts. My eyes hurt. I'm afraid I am getting sick and sitting here playing allows me to forget about it. I killed a level 11 shaman as a level 7 war priest. The fight lasted for 10 minutes, and the game server crashed as i killed him; it was awesome. Engaged in my first public quest, killed 100 orcs and didnt seem to recieve any reward for it.

BUT. I had fun. I came to understand my class.

I fear for the overall experiment. Dartmouth asks a lot of us. I have papers to write, work to do. It's 4am and tomorrow is out the window. I don't know if we'll make it work. I'm tired of being laughed at in the computer lab by bored CS majors.

Sea of Malice is a low-population server; this may prove to be a problem later. All of my reservations about WAR as a game are gone now though. The empire capitol... the npc battlegrounds... my two new friends... this game has it. I could have leveled faster if i wasn't exploring.
