These are the other 3 I alternate between, but I find Jenna on my desktop more often than not. :)

Hey Bit, are you guys in guilds that will be doing Nax? There's only 3 guilds on our server that have the people and gear to do that instance. And if you don't have argent dawn rep, the attunement will cost alot. If you are revered it's 2 nexus crystals and an arcane crystal. After that you get into rightous orbs and up to five arcane crystals. Nexus are going for 50g each (pre-patch); Arcane ~20g and orbs range between 45-75g each.

I bought 9 arcane crystals yesterday hoping to make some money. I'm usually behind on the trends though. I can make delicate arcante converters but was about 2 weeks late to make the really big money on them. Initially, they were going for over 100g each. By the time I started making them, I was getting about 45g each.

Yeah. I'm currently in the best guild on my realm. I takes us about 8 hours to farm BWL and 4 for MC. We have around 120 nexus crystals in the bank and I have a few arcanes so I'm sure many in our guild will get in for free. I'm one of the newer (and thus lesser equiped) mages so whether I got attuned for free and I get in to play has yet been determined.

However, I have been practicing with our GM on the PTR and seem to be making a good impression so maybe I'll get lucky. All I know is that it will kick ass the first we drop each boss because the DKP payout is insane. There is some really awesome loot in there (not to mention the tier 3 sets which i've already been saving up mats for).

lol ffs

I can see some type of future where people who play these kind of games end up speaking in a whole different type of language than the rest of the population... noone will be able to understand them, leaving those poor devils in a social vacuum - resulting in continued developement of said language, etc etc.

A vicious circle of at least -12 charisma, if you will.

What do you mean "saving mats for tier 3 sets"? Don't tell me tier 3 is going to be like tier 1.5 where you have to "upgrade" by doing stupid quests and spending alot of money on materials. I thought tier 3 were just drops off bosses like tier 1 and 2.

I'm on one of the oldest servers so most of the people in my old guild have full tier 2. Thirty-two of them did a complete MC run this past weekend in 2 hours and 20 minutes. The best the new guild I'm in was able to do was 3 hours 37 min.

Get a few stupid people and MC can take over 6 hours. We wiped on Geddon because two people that were the bomb didn't move and blew up half the group. Idiots. I felt like stabbing them in the face.

The bosses drop broken versions of the items that you have to get repaired by an NPC

We don't usually whipe on bosses, it just takes us longer because people are bringing alts into the runs at this point so DPS is low.

I just changed my desktop to this pic that I took of my roses this morning, but the pic is shit. I'm going to change it again.

[lvlshot]http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f221/Wabbit99/flowera1.jpg[/lvlshot]

The rose had alot of bright morning sun on it and the colors seem leached to me. I'd love to find a digital camera that I could use for macro photography.

Hes on a day 1 server as well.. Problem is, theres like 1 guild left thats worth a shit horde side..

Few weeks after release, we lost a 1/3 of our population.. server transfers, then recently they allowed people to transfer off to pvp servers, lost almost everyone at that point..
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.
