    I'm gonna beg

    please...please....dont let me get involved with this game.

    Every time I read a thread, or follow a link, my childhood days of Dungeons & Dragons come thundering back, ravaging my adult mind, clinking my chain mailed arms in my ears, and then the enigmatic smell of wood smoke and leather greaves fill my half elven nostrils.

    Please don't allow me to fall.

    To plummet, from the cliff of WoW into its world, and to land, alone and yet within reach of hundreds of like minded souls would be too much to deal with. The "real life" I lead, a jumble and comforting scrabble of friends, love, new homes and new careers, and a love of WW2 aircraft should be sufficient for any demi-human...and yet my soul yearns for the dark caverns of the Underdark, the feint echoed drip of water upon the stalagmited floors of the shimmering caverns, and the expansive wide open snow-capped mountain peaks, reachable by wing or magic, or the steady trudge of an intrepid explorer's hide bound boots.

    The noxious steaming acrid smoke from the Mage's brew, the healing elixir draft of the healers herbs. Theflash of magic, the evil penetrating bite of gentle steel, the life blood and the yielding flesh.

    And the skills....oh the skills. The variety of living, and the learning of skills, the fishing and woodcrafts, the hunting and tracking, cooking and armour craft.

    I can't....not yet....I just can't. Don't force me.

    But if, in a darkened forest glade, you chance upon a cloaked figure, a long bow rested surely by a green clad leg, and a swift dog by the knee..... choose a friendly gesture. A kurt nod, and a swift smile.

    Zacharria of Lambourne may venture forth yet. Only time shall tell. Literaly. Time. 'Ave I got enough of the darn stuff ?

    Quite simply this game was good in beta with 2 mates playing on voice comms, The retail version with the Hexus Horde has quite frankly blown me away. The game is stunning comedy on Team speak is ace. With 5 of us killing 7 alliance members attacking a low level town yesterday was hilarious.

    Of all the guilds i've seen the quality of equipment we have overall is stunning, its a big team effort that for me works a treat. The worry about time is very valid though, i'm hooked, and in a big way.

    But i'm lucky to have the time at the moment to put into the game...

    The one thing i will say about this game though, is that this game doesn't penalise you for having only a little time available. As i'm sure people like Az will attest.

    Plus you have to remember if you where to play - you've have plenty of experienced people knowing where all the quest items are at the start, what equipment you need regardless of character choice.

    Plus the graphics of the place and the thought and design gone into it all

    IL2 is good but quite frankly this blows it away.

    I paid about £20 and it's only around £8 a month. Fine for me!

    Go on Zakky, you know you want to. By the sounds of your post, you're into the fantasy side of gaming, so get your RP gloves on and come and join us on the dark side!

    If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

    That's coz this sub forum is so damn popular!
