Raiding in *any* game can feel that way though. I used to raid all the time in EQ2 (and have quite a few blog posts about it) but it started to feel like work, especially once raid guilds required more and more time that I just didn’t have. It was stressful and after raiding steadily for quite some time I decided I had enough.

I always liked EQ2 but moved on to WoW with my buddies. The new expansion looks really cool, and I have been considering given it a whirl. WoW…bleh. I think the endgame stuff is what ruined WoW for me. So much stress (to me anyways) to organize and go through raids. Gaming is supposed to be fun. WoW was like work.

Well, I don’t know if I’m really juggling all that much in the mmo area. I play EQ1 once a week (or more depending on mood I suppose) with the static Nostalgia group, lots of fun but we’re not end game and there’s no raiding, no stress. Very laid back and relaxed, and so much fun.

I’m already end game with multiple characters and crafters in EQ2, and there’s still a month (little less) before their next expansion. I consider this ‘home’ and where I devote most of my time – but there’s really nothing going on right now. I haven’t played yet this week (sad panda) aside from a little crafting.

WoW, well. We’ll see where that one goes. I’ve played off and on for 4 years and never gotten past level 47. I’ve never been at the level cap, never raided. I’ve done dungeons, and been in one guild 3 years ago, but nothing since then. It’s an easy casual game (for me personally) and with NaNoWriMo for the month of November, I think it’ll fit in nicely.

Juggling three MMOs….skill. I can only ever manage two. Always seems like I end up leaving one behind, and on top of that, I play FPS games.

Oh and glyphs add improvements to spells. For example, I can make my blink go further, or add more damage to my fireballs.

Glyphs are easy. Go to the auction house, search under tradeskill items glyphs. Then you can socket 3 minor, 2 major (?) I think. Just open the glyph window and slap them in, but you must be standing near a Lexicon of Power for some of them, ask a guard in any city where the Lexicon is.

Here is a good guide:

Hope to see you in game!
