More so in WoW than FFXI, but with partially good reason! In FFXI I&#8217;ve been mostly leveling as DNC with Orophen and we made it to 19 before taking a break watching Code Geass R2 and Nodame Cantabile live action drama. I <i>highly<\/i> recommend the later if you&#8217;re into Asian dramas or just watch the first episode! The facial expressions in some of the scenes are some of the most hilarious ones I&#8217;ve ever seen before!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m actually just waiting until we can all get together to party and help my brother level up. Its kind of aggravating waiting for everyone&#8217;s schedules to coincide with each other, but I guess that&#8217;s just the sort of thing that happens with a set. Hopefully it will happen this week, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve been kind of messing around in Azeroth more so to get the most out of the $30 I paid for 60 days of playtime.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently a 27 Shaman, and would have been higher if I wasn&#8217;t getting booted off the server so much or having to wait through queues. Its aggravating as hell that Misha is no longer a Low &#8211; Medium rate server, and I&#8217;m crossing my fingers that they will do another server migration to get the losers off. I hardly remember having to deal with so many beggars or lamers, which makes traveling to the major cities a pain in the ass when I need to get there.<\/p>\n<p>At one point the lag was getting so ridiculous, I was literally screaming at my monitor when I started to lag out during one of the last Bloodmyst Isle quests. Unlike escort quests in FFXI, escort quests in WoW can be really annoying and a big pain in the ass. You can&#8217;t control the NPC and take your sweet time picking things off. You go at the pace of the NPC and make sure they don&#8217;t get too overwhelmed while you handle adds and help them out if they are getting overwhelmed. Ideally this should have been easy for me at level 26, but it wasn&#8217;t because I was lagging like crazy and couldn&#8217;t tell that my NPC had run off to who knows where and was getting the crap beat out of him. I even died once because I hardly realized I had so many damn Blood Elves on me beating me up to a pulp.<\/p>\n<p>I guess, in a way, that&#8217;s why I really appreciate FFXI because I normally don&#8217;t get lag that bad unless I&#8217;m doing Campaign or Besieged. Both are easily avoidable and even then&#8230; Besieged hasn&#8217;t been bad as of late and Campaign can be remedied by avoiding heavily crowded areas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; ouch. Speaking of Campaign, I guess I better get to doing that again since I&#8217;m pretty sure I lost yet ANOTHER badge&#8230; \/facepalm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ignoring the fact that is a WoW screenshot, I&#8217;ve actually been busy in both games.
