Back again
I'm back! Its been a really great couple of weeks. I joined the new Silent bp and have been enjoying it tremendously! VERY little drama, if any at all, which is amazingly terrific. They have helped me get back on my feet again after being gone 2 years and coming back to no gear. A huge thank you to Ratman, Valerius, and Silent bp, especially Khaine and Lucky21.
I hadn't really realized I had missed Lineage so much, but coming back to so many friends and being so warmly welcomed back was a real pleasure. I am back on my feet enough to hunt and make a little bit of adena. Still a ways away from where I was when I left, but I can get there - or close to there - again with a little help from my friends and a lot of hard work.
Thanks to all who welcomed me back so warmly. Look forward to hunting with some of you and chatting with most of you! Haven't had any screen shots worth taking yet, but when I level I will do that!
Comments
Gonna shut down my comment box in about a week. Life is really great right now and too busy to even keep an eye on comments here. hehe We've joined a gym together, and family time now includes that and lots of kids activities. Enjoy life all, and give much love and affection and less suspicion and drama to the ones you love. If anyone of any consequence would like to contact me, you can mention it to TheHammer or Lucky21 and either one of them can ask me if I'm interested in keeping contact. Willie has also pretty much stopped playing, as I'm sure most people know. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family during a very difficult time. Take care, everyone.
Well...guess its the end....
Hey all.
I finally managed to level, Gwen is now 57. Took me long enough I know. hehe
On the other end of things, it appears I'm done with Lineage. I have been slowly drawn away by real life, which is GREAT. And had planned on quitting in April when my account is up anyway. Pretty much anyone in my bp could tell you that I've hardly been on, and when I am its usually a VERY quick check for Willie and then I'm off again. Besides real life, I've just been tired of the in game retarded drama. I've pulled away from talking to pretty much anyone - so disgusted with things that I saw that I just shut off global and stopped talking to people. I talk to my pledge and about 2 other people and thats it. I see little point in continuing to pay the money for a game that I have been completely disillusioned with. Or maybe its the people I've been disillusioned with...either way, its just not much worth it anymore. Willie is playing ALMOST as little as I am, I think, so I'm truly hoping his time will be done soon too and he really WILL move on to LOTRO with me. :P
In any case, my time table has been accelerated by the must unfortunate of circumstances. I went to log in the other night and my lineage.exe file was gone. Everything else in my lineage folder was there except that. I deleted everything and tried to reinstall and it kept attempting to give me a Trojan Horse virus. lol Soooo....I decided to just not reload the game. Not like I had a choice, but...*shrug* Anyway, it was great for awhile, but the last few months its been time for me to be done, so now it seems I'm done. My apologies to anyone who cares for ending it so abruptly, that wasn't my intention. For those who have my IM information on yahoo or msn, please drop a line. I may get the chance to hop on Telrunya's comp to log in periodically, but thats not available to me at my whim. Bummer eh? hehe Goodbye and my affection to those I still call friends, goodbye and sweet memories to everyone that I have ever considered a friend, and to the rest of you just goodbye :P
Everyone take care, make the most of your life and don't waste your time, energy and emotion on people and things that just aren't worth it.
NYCROS, you've been my oldest and one of my dearest friends. I love ya! Please keep in touch, you have my email. Qwicksilver, Lucky21, Ratman, Arlo, Rieyl, TheHammer, Feandel, Heimdal, Gannondalf, AmericanGirl: Thanks for being some of the most faithful friends I've had here. Much affection to you all. Pat and Aaron...not much I can say to the two of you. Some of my favorite memories involve times spent with you guys. lol I HATE YOU POOLBOYS!! *hugs* to Papi and Suru Suru SURUUUUUUUU too!!!
Willie, you have been and will always be the best game partner and FRIEND I've ever had. You had BETTER keep your Yahoo Messenger on more often. And I look forward with HUGE (pun intended) anticipation to when you really DO quit and come to LOTRO with me!!! I MISS YOU!!!!
I'm out....
Update
No pretty pictures. Sorry guys. Just thought I'd post a quick update. One of my new year's resolutions is to post more often! lol I just have to find things to post. Nothing interesting ever happens to me. I haven't even leveled in a year! haha Real life got way busy in a good way. Enough of that.
As most of you know, I started a pledge. Hold the jeers and catcalls. :P Its actually been great. I/we are being particular about who we let in. There has been no whining, arguing, begging, complaining, pestering or anything of the sort in the pledge since it started. Well, there has been a little whining and complaining upon retarded deaths, but thats acceptable. I have to say I'm very happy with the group that makes up ZHonorZ and I'm content to continue with the same group for as long as they will put up with me as their princess. lol It is a wonderfully undemanding, self-sufficient group, making our time on very enjoyable with no pressure of dealing with issues every time I get on. Its a wonderful experience, and I thank each and every member for making it so. You guys are truly the best!
I have lost track of Willie's level ups...lol Since my last post, where I show all of his characters at level 50 (3 of them) and level 60 (his knight), he has also gotten his knight to 61, his elf to 52, and his mage to 51. He truly is a leveling fool. hehe I haven't been on much at all lately, and I have to say I truly and greatly miss hunting with the best partner on the server. I am so thankful for a partner who is also a terrific friend and so very supportive of everything that is happening in real life for me. Willie and family, I love you all!!!! You are all gems to me. :)
And Gwen? Well, the poor lass. I spent a week getting her 1 percent, which is less than 20 minutes a day, basically, and what does she do? She goes and plays with cyclops on FI and lagged trying to heal. zzzzzzzzz Can't remember the last time I died on FI. lol So sad. So, she's back under 90%, level 56. She's been 56 for a year at least, and I'm getting a little frustrated with leveling her, but I'm determined to get her to 57. After that, I think I'll take a break from Gwen and get my dark elf to 45 at least.
So if you haven't seen me around much, I have been very busy. I have a new job, which I love, and a new fiance, who I love even more. hehe We'll be getting married sometime early this summer. My kids adore him and he is great with them. It has been a very nice change. Life is very excellent lately! hehe
I think that I enjoy the game so much more without global on all the time. After I level, I might turn it on for brief periods, but I get so tired of the senseless and repetitious arguments. It becomes redundant after awhile.
Anyway, apologies for my wordy and not very fun update. lol It is now 2008. Hard to believe huh? I have been playing Lineage since 2002. Even harder to believe. In September of 2008 it will be 6 years that I've been playing. I've met some really terrific people and I'm so happy for the friends that I've made. Thank you to all of my friends and especially to my pledge and MOST especially to my partner for making it an overall fun time! I look forward to a long time more of building friendships and leveling my characters. Now just to find more time to do so.....
And for Willie...

WOOT!! Willie2 the Wonderful!!
Oh how I love being able to make this post! After so many years of hard work, Willie2 is now able to boast being the very FIRST legitimate Ken server player to get all 4 of his characters on his account to level 50 or above. No bought account, no botting, no sharing - all completely and 100% legitimately done by the one and only Willie! I am so very proud of him and I took the time to take screen shots of his characters and thought it would be fun to put them all in one picture, so here is my attempt at that.
Earlier this week, Willie2 hit level 60! Today, TheDarkElves hit 50. Several months ago, Willieelf and TheChosenOne both hit 50. Here are some other screen shots taken today of each of his characters. Thats me and TheHammer with him:
Willie2 level 60:
Willieelf level 50:
TheChosenOne level 50:
and finally, TheDarkElves level 50:
Willie, I am so proud of you! You have worked HARD for this and don't let any numskull take it away from you! You SHOULD be proud of yourself! And I am happy and proud to be able to call myself your partner! Keep up the good work, my partner!!!! *hugs* to you and your family!!
Wonderful Friend, Beloved Prince...
I have been busy and then out of town, and haven't had time to give this particular post the thought it deserved, so I waited until now to post something concerning Redirection.
I have had a pledge of my own, and I have been a member and GK of several other pledges, I can honestly say that Redirection was the best prince I ever knew in game. I don't think he ever lost his temper or said things out of anger or frustration that he would later regret. He listened to every side of every issue, then made his decision with reasonable explanations. He never found it necessary to explain his decisions to the general public, whether they liked it or not, however, I know from experience that when people came to him upset or confused about a decision he made, he would take the time to explain his reasons without defensiveness, condescension, or even a HINT of frustration. I can not count how many times I whispered him asking him what in the world was going on and never once did he make me feel as if it wasn't my business. He always took the time to explain his decisions, and never gave vague answers.
Beyond that, so many times I can remember whispering him upset or hurt about something, whether it was game or real life, and having the response be caring, reasonable and fair. I can't even begin to describe how much that meant to me.
I remember whenever a vote came up for new members, I always would mail him my vote with a little explanation of some kind. One day, he got one of these letters shortly after he logged in, and I quickly get a whisper from him with nothing but "LOL!!!". I responded with "what I do? lol" and he just said to me how much he loved getting my vote letters with the commentary and how it always made him laugh (they were usually intended to be humorous).
At this point, I'd really like it if you all would post a comment on this blog entry about some special memory you have of Red. I know that some of his final wishes were that his friends in the Lineage community live life to the fullest and I know that several have taken steps to see to that, including me. If you would like to leave a memory here, please realize that I screen blog comments, and if I feel things stated are inappropriate or hurtful, I will not give them approval. Please keep any comments in good taste so that I don't have to track your ISP and cause trouble for you. :) Thanks, and remember, live your life to the fullest and love your peeps as much as you can because you never know when life will take an unexpected turn!
Much love to all my dear friends, and a tipped hat to those that are less than that. Take care and God bless you all!
And Red, you are much loved and respected and I have learned so much from you. I thank you, my friend and my prince.
Zzzzzz....
Well, since I keep getting annoying spam comments and assanine anonymous comments on my blog posts, I have changed it to having to be approved by me. Sorry if that causes any inconvenience to anyone.
And for the pathetically inept people who don't have balls any bigger than leaving insulting anonymous comments, put that in your milk glass and suck it down your lungs. :)
