Why yes indeed it has been awhile since I posted in here. I saw something that I thought had to do with me, but instead was something else.
Waiting for emails from my phone (sending pictures to my email address) to setup my latest post on the General blog. It’s taking forever, so I’m checking my Spam folder and this catches my eye…
“upkeep warning…?” Opened it up;
At first, I thought it said “Your deed Dragontail Hideaway on the server Deliverance” and I fucking lost my mind, thinking “HOLY SHIT… MY DEED IS STILL ALIVE?!”
Now re-reading the message, I said “wait what..?” when I saw the mayor’s name. Further reading.. “OHHHHHHhhhhh.”
It’s the deed of a friend that (at the time, I dunno if he still is or even if he plays) lives in Xanadu, that I became a villager of in order to get my horse branded on that server (so she wouldn’t die of old age).
Wow. To think I could had possibly saved my deed after all of these months since I lost interest. I know my deed is gone by now. I didn’t throw in a year’s worth of upkeep (unlike he did); don’t have that kind of money.
What a somber reminder, huh…? Though I blame the game for losing interest. I don’t feel like grinding for hours on end, watching numbers very..VERY slowly go up. I
cannot ‘Netflix and Chill’ while still focused on repeatedly clicking a few buttons (and things like AutoHotkey wouldn’t work, since the tool keeps changing of what it needs to improve).
Plus, Stamina and Food/Water are a thing that must be monitored and managed. Its repetitive nature gets on my nerves, when I just want to be out there and explore. Oh but guess what…? You gotta worry about the quality of your armor and weapons! You gotta worry about getting ripped off out of your silver (who take advantage of ‘lazy’ people like myself), thinking you’re getting a good deal having someone else imp them for you (then find out later from others.. “you got ripped off”).
Getting silver usually requires real money. If you wanna earn it (without real money), well buck up and go grind up your skills.
…Who the fuck has time for that!? Mad lads (and people that aren’t bothered by a ‘little’ grinding), that’s who.
Well, that’s why I left (again). But this time it didn’t involve telling Angry “I don’t care what happens”. This time I left on my own. I just wasn’t really having fun
anymore, constantly getting lost due to outdated maps when exploring. Being unsure if I should kill a troll.. if they kill me first with that damn club of theirs. Always never having the right Body Control level (no matter how much I grind on killing mobs).
…Just, fuck all that noise.
