A Little Jealous.

Money is tight, and though I have managed to keep my internet going (It's actually necessary for one member of my household who does his school at home), World of Warcraft is a luxury I cannot afford.  I tried playing the trial version for a bit. but I was annoyed by pet tamers showing me quests I couldn't do and wild pets showing on my map that I couldn't battle.  Funny thing is, my trial account is linked to my main account, so I have all the titles, all the pets, and all the mounts.  I can build a pet battle team but can't use it.  I can see the choice to make a death knight, but I'm pretty sure that I can't really play one. I've started at least three different characters, all to be dumped in the first inn available for boredom's sake.  I'm sure if I could get to 15, I might enjoy random dungeons for a while.  I might even have fun in battlegrounds if I could hit level 10.  Why does that seem like work to me?  10 used to be easy to hit in a couple of hours for me, and now I drag my feet and complain.   It's not like I am given to leaning on heirlooms or guild perks for leveling alts usually.  Maybe it's having to set up my UI all over again every time my game crashes or I leave my toon standing in the middle of (place closest capitol city here) and the game dumps me due to inactivity.  

Oh well.  My point is I'm a little jealous (see title).  The latest patch is upon us, and I'm on the outside looking in.  Thanks to the many great writers I follow, I have been getting little glimpses of the fun stuff I'm missing.  Don't think I am ungrateful!  I just wish I was steering Delgada into the wilds, experiencing the same things I read about, taking screenshots and chatting with all those that have me on their RealID lists.  I want to post stuff on my blog about all the great stuff that is happening, too!

That's enough complaining out of me.  I'm still playing Star Wars Galaxies EMU on the Basilisk server.  I have 5 characters (6 if you count my daughters lizard) now, as the new guild I am in keeps razzing me about making a chef.  Why are they poking at me to do it? Because many of them have maxed out their allotted characters and I already have a bio engineer to provide the extra bonus tissues for it, so why not?  The game is still fun, and I am out hunting (krayt) dragons, harvesting resources, making pretty clothes, and now leveling a baby Sullustan who will eventually be a master chef and master swordsman with a smattering of scout for the creature harvesting and mask scent (so she can milk sharnaffs) and a smidge more in the artisan tree to give her a vendor. Want to see the beautiful and talented Julmo?  OK, OK stop!  I'll go fetch a picture of her.

In Sullust she is considered a goddess!

An interesting read if you are curious about the Sullustan race can be found in the Wookieepedia (not making this up, I swear!).  Apparently Julmo is not Ready yet, or else she would be busy; REALLY busy.  Until she is, I'll fill her time making Pikatta Pie and Synthsteak.  Oh, and I read in that article that the females grow cranial hair.  I'll have to take her to visit Karin in the Image Designer tent in Coronet to see about that.  I think a long, flowing ponytail would make her look simply stunning!  In the meantime, I'll be browsing the bazaar looking for some headgear or a veil or something.  No amount of customization made her something I want to look at head on for any amount of time.  Poor girl.

That's all I have for now.  I'll sit here next to my comment box and hope to get some postcards from all of you basking in the fun of whatever vacation spot you're enjoying!
