Bah Humbug

I'm feeling a bit miserable at the moment.
I'm at a point where I feel all my characters are, well to be honest, rubbish. Especially Ferwyn.

Under geared? Check.

Under experienced? Check

Nothing to aim for? Check


Syrinia this is NOT a go at you. You should be very, very proud of what you've got and achieved, I'm so happy for you. I just feel that having two hunters is a bit pointless, and at the moment I don't know what to do. I have no enthusiasm for her whatsoever, I'm not even enjoying RPing her to be brutally honest. There's no way I can improve her, this is as good as it's going to get, and when Cata comes out, every single thing I've worked for will be useless, pointless and rubbish. I know this is the same for everyone, but hey, this is my whinge!

Grr, maybe I'm just being silly, but many things are going a bit wrong at the moment, and it's really hard to muster up enthusiasm for anything both in and out of game.

Edit: I think I'm experiencing all this because some truly crappy things are happening right now, and I'm really miserable about it all. It's bugging me that much it's bleeding into my escapism and making me feel like crap there too. Ferwyn is not in anyway rubbish and I do know this, but it's so hard to feel happy with the way some things are going IRL that it's getting hard to make my escape, my escape if that makes sense. I'm sorry for this long rant, I just needed to get stuff off my chest before I explode. I just want my escapism to be seperate from my RL rubbish, but it's so hard. I need cheering up...badly. *collapses from rant exhaustion*

Oh and I decided not to delete my orginal whiny rant because then the second, slight more thought about rant wouldn't make sense then, and that would be a shame, because It's a good rant in which I've figured out my problems. Dammit, don't let anyone tell you I'm not rational. AGH! somebody cheer me up in game so I can remember why it's my escape again.

I'm so sorry to hear things aren't going well for you out the game. and also
thats affecting your escapism that is WoW. believe me when i say i understand
completely. there have been many times i've felt similar. and to the point
where i've actively decided to quit as it was no longer doing anything for
me.

I know what you mean by WoW being an escape. it's why i play. but if troubles
from outside are affecting you in game. that can spoil it more.

I know you don't blame me for things, but i still feel like i've contributed
to your current feelings.

maybe you should take a break from Ferwyn, or even WoW as a whole. i know
it's an escape to play, but if you're not escaping, then it's not doing
it's job. when i've been in this kind of way i have cancelled my subscription
to force myself not to play. cos that removed, for me, the ability to just
log in when not in the right mood. i looked for different things, like
different MMOs and just different games. i'd even jsut not play games for
ages.

there are other things you could do. things that may sound extreme. if you
want better equipment, what about just breaking off from RPing and the guild
and join a raiding guild that will have a schedule for raids, and get better
equipment. PUGs are never fun cos you end up with people being nasty, but
with a set group each time it would be better.

Or scrap the whole WoW thing altogether and take a big break from it. I
did that once. remember my leaving party at the shrine of aessina? it was
more about me making a statement to myself about quitting. I was sick of
everything in the game, and although i was only lvl 61 at the time, everything
was making me sick. outland especially. things were tough in real live then
as i'd broke up from a relationship and had to move. every time i tried
to play wow i hated it.

So i quit. with the intention to never return. but i knew if i deleted
syrinia, like all my other characters i would hate myself more.

after 2 months away from WoW and after getting my head a bit more together
i kinda missed playing. but i didn't want to go back to syrinia or even
WoW itself. So i tried Lord of the Rings online instead. I made Syrinia
in there, but quickly killed her off and made a human who was from Rohan.
She was cool. LOTRO is a very good game and i was enjoying it a lot, but
after a while i missed WoW too much. I wanted to come back, but in a way
not to Syrinia. I then decided to make a new character on another server.
i searched for a Rp guild for night elves and found The Shadow Sentinels
on Moonglade server. I played another hunter called Taoria and she had
the white lion as a pet. i eventually was accepted into that guild and
they were intense RPers with very strict guild meetings. it was kind of
like ERC but i would say better as it was better organised and the Rp was
more intense and interesting. Taoria was leveling fast... you know me...
and i was enjoying WoW again. but i started to miss the friends id made on
Darkmoon faire, i wanted to know how you are all doing without really being
back. I made an alt to wander about but it was not the same. a couple of
times i did load syrinia again, but not for any permenant comeback. back
on Taoria i started to not like the character too much and after one of
my outbursts i deleted her, i had got to level 53 with her too. all her
gold and items i sold and sent to a human mage called Miyu (Miyu eventually
got transfered to Darkmoon Faire where i had to rename her to Muika - yes
my lvl70 human mage) but after getting her to lvl 30 on moonglade i missed
Syrinia and Ferwyn and all the RP we had. So i came back with a new found
energy to play. and even times when id almost quit again i just took time
away. that helped me to come back more in the mood.

I just wish i could help with whatever's getting you low out of the game
so you can come back happy once again.

just remember that whatever you choose to do, whether breaking the guild,
leaving for ages or even permanently i would not take anything personally
as at the end of the day i want you to do whats right for you to make you
feel better.

MASSIVE HUGS ... and a go on a bouncy castle (cos they're fun)

Really, having thought about it the morning after, its not Ferwyn that bugs me really, its the fact that I can't get her further right now. Not just because of lack of experience or whatever, but because I don't have the time, with uni and everything.
I'm not going to stop playing, that wouldn't work for me, but I will play Kaatia instead and maybe a lot more horde to see the RP on there for a while.
Oh and in my misery I forgot to say OMGZ!!!!!! Nice Bow!!!
=D
