Our Wizness is Crowns, and Wizness is good!

WET BLANKET ALERT! grousing and mathematical frustration to follow

Well, I'm a little less-than-happy, atm.
Why? Grizzleheim is LIVE!
Well, that's EXACTLY why.
Huh?

I'm a "Crowns" player. Have been since I started. I feel a little gyped, actually. I did a rough sum of what I've spent, to date, on W101, including both Ashley Duskhunter and I:

I've "bought" all of Wiz City, Krok, Marley, MooShu, Dragonspire, and now..buying Grizzleheim.
And for all that, I do not have "free chat", although I have a valid Credit card on file, only subscribers get that. I can't post in W101 forums, only subscribers can do that. 80 crowns per match in PvP? Good thing I don't PvP.

And now, we have:

Rare no longer is. Buy all you can, then run to Zeke to cash in more crowns! Hurry! (you know they bank on impulse buying) "You don't have to.." Yeah, riiiight.


I have spent more than 3 years subscription equivalent ( at Family Plan Rates) , and find myself still hamstrung by a "trial" account. You want my crowns AND a subscription?

I waited until GH went live, to see what changes, if any, went live. IMO, KI is leaning towards more and more "microtransactions". Not a good sign. Yes, I know it's a business, but at what point does it become plain old greed? I think there shouild be some kind of "threshold" where crown players get 'recognized' as members of the w101 community, and get the same rights as the level 1 that just subscribed.

I tried figuring out the rates, but math is far from my stongest suit, ( THIS is what happens when I try to do math.) So, if someone else can work it out, and get the proper conversion totals, I'd be appreciative.

*sigh*. Okay, that's the end of my rant.

I gotta go, the bazaar is calling me.

Of vocal enhancements

You know, I'm loving the voice overs now, with the release of Grizzleheim.

However, one particular voice caught me "off guard". The voice of "The Narrator". I didn't see that one coming. I, myself wonder who it is that provides that voice.

See, thing of it is, is I do daycare for 2 little ones, ages 2 and 4. And one of the *few* programs they can agree on is Calliou. Now, whatever does this have to do with W101? I'm so glad you asked. You see, when I first heard our new Narrator, my mind instantly connected it with another Narrator. Yes, you guessed it. The Narrator for Calliou. Here's a clip, to compare for yourself:


See, (or, rather "hear"), a similarity? Other candidates that I might have considered would be Marion Ross or perhaps Waylon Jennings, the "Balladeer" of The Dukes of Hazzard, Except he's passed on..

I duuno, just thinking aloud, is all. ;)

Yet another blogger.

I don't know if I trust THIS ONE. I'm gonna have to keep a "weather eye" on that particular horizon, lol.

Ashley DuskHunter now has her own blog.

The end is nigh.

busy day of NOT farming

No, the newest iteration of farming will be : Bazaar!

It's the eBay of W101.

I went from NO blades to SEVERAL blades. And a couple new staffs.

I have new pets.

I have several rare furniture drops.

"Rare" no longer is. Bazaar farming consists of staring at the refreshes for the category you're hunting.

RIP, gameplay.

2 Hours.
120 Minutes
7200 Seconds.
Here I sit, mesmerized. I *know* what awaits me on "the other side". I embrace it. Yet here I sit. Staring.
Watching.
Waiting.
omgican'ttakeitanymore! Curse you, Housing wad! Nine times you turned me away! NINE! And now, your counterpart, Dragonspire wad is folloing your lead? I have gaming needs! I have no patience! I need to get my Grizzleheim on! If I can score an "Oyotomi's Jade Blade" at the bazzaar , I'll need not farm...as much. Yes, I KNOW there are roughly 2 million other people doing the exact same thing I am. I NEED to PLAY NOW!


DING! Patching Complete!

Well, there you have it. The post I would have made, were I not a rational and patient individual.

But, as we all know, yours truly is very patient. and very rational..
and patient...
and patient some more...
and some more...

(Yes, a blogger with no game to play is a terrible thing, Muah-ha-ha!)


See y'all in Grizzleheim!

Grizzleheim.

Live.
Today.

That is all.

Actually, that is not all. See TFN for fun new, previously unannounced features.

Now THAT is all.
