I logged into the map. Checking the inventory and fitting new outfits (armor sets, actually) and jewelries (pendant of fire and ring of wizardry you like?) by the Devias gate. Someone pounced me and invited a party. I said sure, I will party you, you superheroes ^_^ We were off to Tarkan 2. You see those heroes wanted to test something in their armory, attack and defense rates so they chose a high level map. I was just tugging along, not really enjoying the scene of a noob Magic Gladiator and a Dark Lord splatting dead each time the monsters hit their bones. If the battles were real, they would really need a, say, plastic surgeon in San Diego, CA to correct their battle-shattered faces. They only asked me to tank them for extra damage and not defense nor healing. They attack and die. Attack and die. At that instant I wanted to switch to my Agility elf and do the killing myself. That could have been more rewarding. But since I am a gamer who keeps her word, I obliged to keep them company for like 15 minutes. But what a blessing in disguise. I ran out of game hours and had to exit the game. hahaha. I don’t usually enjoy getting logged out while in the game. But this time, I am just so glad!

So am here blogging instead.

Believe it or not a party is never as efficient without the Energy Elf. The EE tanks the party with additional damage and defense. And because there are not too many EEs in the game, Annjee shines bright in her sparkly +12 HP +DD vine set. During valley battles, she raises her head high like she just had a Beverly Hills California revision rhinoplasty done. But of course guild mates’ request for tanking come in first.

But after about a couple of years, my boyfriend then (husband now) encouraged me to even just take a look around the new game and who knows I might play again. And so I did and he didn’t even need to prod me further because as soon as I took a tour to the new maps wearing new sets and weapons, a weird, good-to-the-feeling wave of excitement welled inside me. And I told myself…it’s GAME TIME!

So I was standing by the Devias gate, piloting my xcelent_kipr Agility Elf when the announcement came. The battle is starting shortly. So I warped to Lorencia right away. Hoping I’d see interesting sights, as if I’m in La Jolla CA, I was disappointed to find the warp zone so full that I can hardly find my way out of the market and into the gate then push with the coordinates and get to the Valley battle on time. I tread and tread and I made it after pushing all the guys out of my way. And to think the character was a Muse. The act just didn’t match the Lady ^_^
