Soke

¡Desean vivo los undead! (Long live the undead, rough translation) I too will play an undead warlock. I just like 'em, though the 20 succubus quest is ######y. But, I will also play an orc, and possibly a troll. I'm undecided what classes for SURE yet, but I plan on my orc name being Zooqi, which I feel is suitably orcish (esp. since I found "Zooq" in an orcish name generator and added the "i" so it kinda sounded like my reg. character's name "Soke")

I like the undead lands. Nice forests and stuff, looks almost droll after the blinding orange of the orc lands.

Two screenies of Grulg and Orc-Soke. http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=118168 http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=118169

LOL. Maybe tomorrow. Thunder storm moving in here, so I need to shut the computer off. It was fun tho.

Yeah, I think I can arrange that tonight, should I put my mind to it. I hope my server comes back up. If not, I'll get Orc-Soke up a few levels so I won't be such a push-over next duel, Grulg. PS. Back up already.

My server was down, so I made an Orc, yes an orc, on Malygos called Soke. Look me up asap,k? I'll look for you, Grulg.

What server to play on, y'all?

There's gonna be a stress test for seven days that you can sign up for. You can find more information on it at blizzard's site.

I got in too! Woo-hoo! Undead Soke incoming! Muhahaha! Seriously, probably going to try out a lot of different things in this week at all hours, so that I can see what's what and if I *really* want to play or not. So, you might see a Troll-Soke or an Orc-Soke, but definitely gotta try out the undead stuff first.

Yeah, that irked me too, Vex. Grr.

Assuming you want fantasy books.... The Song of Ice & Fire series by George RR Martin (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords): Pick them up, you won't be disappointed. Royal Assassin Series (Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, Assassin's Quest) by Robin Hobb: Good, solid reading, first person perspective, though the assassin gets a bit whiny here and there. Darksword Trilogy by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman: Their best series, IMO. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett: Not really fantasy, but a good book. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King (Gunslinger, Drawing of the Three, The Wasteland, Wizard and Glass, Wolves of the Calla, Song of Susannah): Good series, fantasy orientated in a sort of modern-westernish-scifi setting. Interesting read tho. Last one was a bit lame, but you can't win them all. Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King: Touches on the Tower, but pure fantasy. V. good read, one of King's best books, even though it's sorta meant for younger readers. Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind: AVOID the rest of this series. Seriously. First one wasn't bad though, but avoid the others like the plague. I should have torn out my eyes after reading the second one. First one was good enough to suck me into his "I Wanna Be Robert Jordan" world. Blech. First six books of "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan (Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Dragon Reborn, The Shadow Rising, Fire of Heaven, The Lord of Chaos): First six are pretty good, not earth-shattering great but not bad for fantasy. Last 4 in this series (not mentioned) are just...getting slower and slower. The Deverry series by Katharine Kerr (Daggerspell, Darkspell...oh, good god, too many to mention here): VERY excellent series of books, I highly recommend all of them. Grounded in celtic myth and just good overall. Hyperion series by Dan Simmons (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion): Very good hardcore sci-fi books. If you like sci-fi, you'll like these. Authors of note (that usually write good stuff): Robert Asprin, Stephen King, Robert McCammon, early Dean Koontz, George RR Martin, Roger Zelazny (esp. Amber series, Nine Princes in Amber being the first one), Piers Anthony (if you like light, fluffy fantasy, but his Incarnations of Immortality is really good, as well as Bio of a Space Tyrant), Kathleen Taylor (if you light "light" mysteries...funny as hell writer sets her stories in a fictional town in South Dakota, and her mysteries are really good. First one is Funeral Food, I believe) I read 100-200 books a year, all almost exclusively sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, with some historical fiction (if it's good) and non-fiction thrown in for flavor. BTW, congrats for making it through LOTRings. I hated those books, and still do. Tolkien was NOT a good writer...if you want a good writer from that time, read CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia (yes, children's books. Shaddup, they're good) and The Screwtape Letters. I freakin' hate Tolkien. I barely managed to get through Fellowship, and just quit in the middle of the Two Towers because his writing was driving me nuts.

I was the Hero.

LOL, Rhoach. Way to go for equality! Hehe...

Aha! I am not alone! Women of THE, Unite!

That's very openminded of you, but I'm not one of them. Hehe. I want beefcake! (Seriously tho, new emotes are always cool)

Coolness... but...Jessica for the guys...where's the beefcake for the gals???

Good thing you remind us, otherwise I'd never think to check this monthly.. Voted.

*FINALLY* got registered, and on the team for this...sounds interesting! I'm on the computer quite a bit and, well, type quite a bit...so...yeah. Should be interesting.

I'm not a Skullcrusher, but I'm using it. 'Ware the Undead!

Congrats, Chris. Being married is cool, esp. when you can play online games together.

I have to add my two cents here. I prefer roleplaying servers even though I almost always exclusively solo or group only with a few friends (usually the husband, if he plays the game). It's just...nice being in a place that doesn't have leet speak everywhere. I hate leet speak. I don't mind roleplaying...and when I'm on a rping server, I AM a rping Nazi. I'm one of those people that report bad names, and that scold people who specifically choose a roleplaying server then don't rp, and who go out of their way to help newbies in an 'rp friendly' way, clearly delineating IC and OOC talk so that they get the hang of what things are like. I was like that on DAOC, and if they have a rp server on WOW, I'll be like that there too.

Definitely different.... I had been wondering wth all this 'gold' stuff was..

I figured since this is scattered enough...it's time to consolidate! I've seen Novawop on a few times on Virtue, yet haven't found time to group with him yet Happy Birthday!. Naughty Soke. Anyway, figured if anyone is playing, post here on who your characters are and what server they are on. Miss Abyss: Dark/Reflexes Scrapper Virtue Wytchfire: Fire/Fire Blaster Virtue Taurea: Earth/Empathy Controller Virtue Shock Therapy: Electric/Empathy Defender Virtue ChaosKitten: Claws/Regeneration Scrapper Virtue Bluecoat Babe: Invulnerability/Strength Tanker Virtue Max Fury: Guns/Devices Blaster Virtue Shadowbound: Dark/Dark Scrapper Victory For Zenith's benefit (since I've gamed with him in some tabletop superhero games before), Bluecoat is Blue Steel (Blue Steel already taken by the freakin' trainer in King's Row). Miss Abyss is Shadow "grown up", and Shadowbound is Shadow as she is in the Mutants & Masterminds game. Max Fury is the only one so far whom I've got a history for, written in the ID card and everything. ALSO, I DO have a character that's over level ten now, so if we want to make a supergroup...it's possible. Be safe, Citizens!

Depends... you can get indoor instanced missions, and you can get the 'kill ten x' where 'x' can be Skulls or Circle of Thorns, or Lost or whatever. Usually it's not too hard to find the baddies you need.

Hehe. Well, that's the thing about acronyms...we can just call ourselves that, and tell someone something different every time when they ask what it means.
