Well, It came to me last Friday talking to Lorrie after physics: this year sucks. School year I mean. It's supposed to be one of the happiest years of your life: you graduate from high school and can move on to higher and better things, but they forget to tell you that you probably won't ever see 80% of the people you knew from school ever again after this year. Sure you might see them at an airport on your flight to someplace for some "important" job twenty years from now, but who's to say you'll remember them, or they'll remember you? I'm glad it isn't like that with at least a few of my friends: the ones I met online. It isn't like they're going to just dissappear from my life. Well, at least I hope not. It almost happened once and that experience was enough to keep me depressed for a month or more. Ah fuck, new topic. My eyes are going bad...

So I played about 24 hours of AO this weekend, over the course of about three days. I got invited to a really awesome guild on Friday I think, might have been Saturday: when I was only level 8. The maximum level in AO is 220. So here I think I'm special with my extremely bad looking armor and so forth (it's hard as hell to find a whole set of the same type, so for example right now I'm wearing a purple helmet with a yellow lightningbolt on it, red chest plate, green pants and gloves, and grey sleeves (which don't cover all of my arms, which are blue). It's kinda an odd sight to see from the front I'm sure, but I spend most of my time in third person locked view behind myself so it doesn't look half as bad), when it turns out that they're really just on a recruiting binge. Anyway, the whole guild is really cool, and I've already made pretty good friends with at least three of them. I can't wait till more of my friends get on! The team missions are so cool. They'res a few different types of missions: find somebody somewhere, find an item and bring it back, kill off some specific dude, go somewhere and fix something (it's an interesting mission type. You go to a building, find a specific piece of machinery, and then use an item they gave you at the start of the mission on it, then you're done. Sometimes more complicated than that, because you have to find it first, and some mission zones have more than one floor.), and a few others I can't think of. They all give some type of item reward, in addition to lots of money (for the level) and usually junk experience. But if you keep the difficulty slider at the medium difficulty mark, you get really nice experience from killing the things in the mission zone, usually about 3/4th a level worth. Sometimes chests are locked, or theres a bomb on the map, so you can use a lockpick or a bomb defuser and gain some extra experience on the side too. Lockpicking is really good experience too, usually around 300 (I think on my level I need 8000 to level up, it slowly increases by the level, but so does the experience gained from killing monsters. It's RO style, not FFXI style, where weaker monsters give nothing, on AO they give next to nothing instead of nothing. But monsters that are more difficult give more experience like on RO. So if you're killing hard things, you don't notice the difference in leveling time. At least, not yet.). Anyway, I think that's enough stupidly complex sentences with parenthesis' where they probably don't belong for you peoples to try and decode. For now at least. On to some Naruto & then lots more AO! ^^
