wow stuffs
Nov. 6th, 2009 01:25 pmI have way too many characters. Which kind of ends up meaning not very much gets done with any of them, because my concentration isn't focused. So. Current plans/goals:
( probably not of interest, especially if you don't play WoW )
I am not very ept at leveling. (As evidenced by the fact that my dks, which start at, what, 55? are only in their mid-60's.) Nor, really, at playing; my 80 is consistently at or near the bottom of the dps charts, and some of that is class-related restrictions (rogues have no good ranged attacks, and only one AoE of any sort) but some of it is me...
...and yet I've been playing WoW an awful lot lately, because it serves as an escape from reality. And because, in there, I am normal. Not one of the top players by any means, but not completely useless either (even if I could be more useful) and not the worst sort of player, and my characters are not disabled and can do the things that other characters can. And they don't have to worry about food, or about toilets, or about sleep, or about personal safety, and if things go wrong they can just run away (or rez) and start over.
Sometimes, I wish life were more like video games. Save points, or little quest logs that tell you what you are supposed to be doing, or something.
