*Sigh* It is Tuesday....

Yes it is Tuesday which means in WoW maintenance day. which means servers will be down til 2PM est at least....

So I thought I would take this time to blog a bit. I actually really need to get better about keeping up with my blog. I will admit that lately I just have felt like it.

Not much goes on in my life. I have Dagferi up to level 75. I am getting a bit burned out on questing at the moment. My guild has sort of started raiding again. Hubby raided with them and I passed. Well we only have one computer right now, and Dag is on his account because I started playing on a whim to see what the hype was about and got just as addicted as he is due to the weather being crappy. (I would much rather be riding my horse.)

Anyway, I even don't really want to raid. The problem in my case is my extended family is in the guild with my SIL as an officer. Sometimes I feel brushed under the rug by the guild. I am a decent player. Not the best at my class by a long shot but I hold my own despite my crappy gear. I got to 75 SOLO I didn't have anyone help me with the hard quests or skip them. I figured them out myself and did it in greens. I didn't have someone help me power level. I ran one or two pugs and that is it. I even did 90% of the group quest SOLO just me and my pet. Yes, I am a BM hunter. I have gotten to where I am using my own skills and guile.

Am I bitter? I would say a bit, but say I am more pissed off than anything. I have tried to be social with my guildies but they are very cliquish. (I will admit that I am not one to jump in the middle of a conversation.) But a "Hi" now and again would be nice. Then they complain about guild attendance for raids. Well if you treat me like dog shit on your shoe I am not going to say much anymore. Nor am I going to go out of my way to help plain and simple. Why would I want to run raids when I don't feel welcome. I am not a gear ninja. THIS ISN'T ABOUT LOOT. It is about treating me decently and treating me as myself and not as the SIL.

For now I think I am going to PVP for gear a bit and then decide from there where the path leads me. I may pull my toon out of the guild for another. I have had several invites from other big guilds. I don't know. I do like our GM and this isn't about him. There are other guildies who I like a lot too. But over all I just don't feel welcome. It is like I am only in the guild because I am related to the SIL.

Any guild in need of a BM hunter with a kick booty arsenal of pets?

Well I am really HATING Blizzard right now.

Well I don't know about the rest of you gamers out there but right now I am HATING BLIZZARD.

I will admit it I am a bit of a WOW addict. Not as bad as some but I do really enjoy playing. I enjoy my guild. They kind of my social life at the moment. During the warm months my time is spent on horseback enjoying the great outdoors. Now that it is dark by the time hubby gets home my horse time is limited. Plus I will admit it I need new cold weather gear and I am not fond of the cold either.

The downtime of the last two days is really pissing me off. PERIOD. I am paying $30 a month for two accounts which can not be used. While on the forums I keep reading "Oh it works out to .02 per hour" Well folks some of us aren't 300lb losers living in our parents basement. We work jobs, have families, and other responsibilties. We have small windows in which we get to play WoW.

I am sorry but this company has been planning the expansion for how long. Tonight the WOTLK comes out and they can't keep the realms up. Oh I see nightmares the next two weeks. Anyone who thinks things are going to go smoothly needs to look at the record of reliabilty from the last two weeks.

I will be highly surprised if realms are up in time for the midnight launch tonight. To be completely honest not really too excited about the WOTLK. We will be picking up our copy Friday morning. We had other bills that came first, (ie kids gotta eat) and I reuse to spen every last red cent in my bank account.

Well folks I have to get back to my life at the moment.

Til Next Time
