I feel like the odd girl out liking UDG as my favorite out of it, 1 and 2. I just really enjoyed the atmosphere, story (for the most part) and chemistry between Komaru and Toko.

I liked it enough to finish it and parts of it were genuinely excellent but if games developers are going to put child rape as a plot point they really, really, really *deep breath", really need to treat it with the utmost sensitivity and stick the landing. UDG crashed into the sea.

My Land's End cardigans ended up having too short sleeves and too high on my waist. I can't really tell from the picture if the ones I had were the same or not.

I knew it was coming but I still wasn't prepared.


unicorn mount was my bff for a long time but it doesn't fly womp

at least I have purple bird to be my friend now- alternate between purple pony and purple bird!

Which bird is the purple one? I suck and only have the watery bird and the fancy red one

There's actually 2 purple birds; Thordan EX (which I still need- it's light purple and sparkles and probably plays Heroes which is an amazing song) and Nidhogg EX (which is dark purple and has like miasma coming off it)

I just want every purple mount that exists- waiting for a purple dog to happen. lol

Also if any of you FFXIV ladies are on primal, we need to go die together sometime- I mean kill things. (I actually used to have a lady only ls on Ultros but it kinda died activity wise womp)

If you're talking about modern day WoW... better listen to your judgment :D
If it's an older version of WoW on a private server... go for it! Been playing WotLK (my fav expansion) on and off, past few years.

Hehehe, it would be Modern WoW for me. :p

I've played off and on since Cata so I don't have any of the nostalgia for the older versions ( although WotLK was my favorite content to go through ) but I am really interested in trying the Classic Server they're coming out with. Always kinda felt like I 'missed' something with jumping into WoW so late.

I didn't know you could do that private server thing! Wow. I went back and played WoW for a bit before the last expansion just so I could play something with my partner. That was fun, but god, the chat and the people... it's such a cesspit.

The people in the main chats can be absolutely terrible. I jumped on the other day just to see how things were going and the chat in Orgrimmar was talking about how much they wanted to fuck Sylvannas because of the trailer. :x

Also yeah, private servers exist but just don't tell Blizzard about it *wink*

by that i mean there's a ton out there you can play but they're also illegal

I just started playing WoW again following the expansion announcement! I was really trying to cut down on MMOs and focus on the rest of my gaming backlog... it was going so well... now, between that and the new Diablo 3 season and my SO wanting to play Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard owns my soul again. But I am having fun with it, despite my own better judgement. Though I'm really just levelling characters I'll want to have ready for BfA. I might end up wandering off again when it actually comes to endgame.

Saaaame. The expansion announcement got me excited about WoW again but I'm trying to save money any way I can so I'm trying to convince myself not to....it's been a losing battle haha. If I jumped on I'd finished leveling a few higher level toons I have. There's supposed to be an update at some point that's going to redo the leveling in older zones so you have a choice of which Expansions to play meaning no more Outland!

although that does remind me about Diablo 3. I'm a dirty PS4 Diablo player but I'm wondering if our Seasons align with the PC version...

Private servers aren't illegal to play on. It's publicly hosting one that's illegal. So only the devs might get in trouble with the law, not the players.

I dunno, when my brother downloaded a private server that someone else was hosting he got a letter from our ISP. At least, that's how he explained it to me, I'm not totally sure how the servers work. >_>

Yeah, they aren't illegal to play but they are illegal to host.

This is the first time I've ever heard someone getting a letter for playing one though. That's new. ( ._.)

I would love to play a BC one, or a Wrath one.

Seriously considering a private server... but my life...

Private servers for WoW are a bad idea. You don't want all your progress to get erased just because the admins ran out of money or because blizzard shut them down. Also the scripting for monsters is an approximation because all that data was server side, so not really authentic.

Aww, too bad I'm on Aether (Mateus). If anyone else is on Aether though I'd love to play together! I am terrible but I try my best.

Yeah, that's my feelings as well, enjoyed most of the story but that certainly wasn't one of the games brighter spots to say the least...

It's been a few months or so since I've last played but I'm on Hyperion.

Oooh, you in the ERA FC? My characters name is Elliott Kirkland

Hey I'm on Lamia! I haven't played in a while though, haha
Oooh awesome- that's primal right?

I actually have a little lala alt on aether (adamantoise)- she's only lvl 61 tho. Made her to play with some amiiboERA people who are on aether when I have some free time.

I have a character on Hyperion that I haven't touched in 3 years.

It wasn't my original server, I forget which server I was on during the beta and onwards but about a year and a half or so ago one of my guy friends wanted to join his server since he had a FC and the FC I was in during launch didn't really exist anymore by then so I went. He ended of moving to another one so I'm kinda stuck alone on that server again >_< Haha

No I'm not in that FC. I was in a small one with friends until we let our accounts go dead and lost the house, and some irl friends adopted me into CRSPE

Just finished watching Stranger Things 2 and this article (spoilers obviously) really got into something that I had hoped this season would fix: Stranger Things 2 keeps its "strong female characters" apart from one another, like every Hollywood genre property.

Thoughts?

While watching the second season, this was very noticeable. They added a great female character although she felt a bit docile near the end, but the only interaction she has with another major female character is hostile.

I haven't played WoW since 2004 I think. I remember getting to level 20 with my friend and then never played it again.

Mr. Monkey played classic WoW but not me. Wrath for me. Y'all are almost making me want to pick it up for the holiday, after seminar papers are in.

Hate you all. I WILL RESIST

I do think LightEra is very aesthetically pleasing in comparison to LightGaf (the latter was so bright).

Earlier this year I never knew why people used dark themes on websites, now since having tried it here and elsewhere I don't think I could ever go back and it makes night time browsing so much easier on my eyes especially when I'm finding down for bed and don't want bright lights keeping me awake.

I started playing WoW during classic but really got into it with TBC, because I got into the beta and that was a big deal back then. Which is probably why I get super nostalgic about Outland and am in the minority that way prefers those zones to levelling through Wrath.

although that does remind me about Diablo 3. I'm a dirty PS4 Diablo player but I'm wondering if our Seasons align with the PC version...

They do! No crossplay though to my knowledge, but they start at the same time.

Yeah I was really disappointed by that. I hope they become friends in the next season. :(

I have an extension on Firefox to make every site I visit "dark themed", including Google and such. I can never go back to white websites haha

I keep switching between them. I don't like the all my posts are highlighted purple when using DarkERA, to be honest.

I have Flux installed on my computers so it doesn't really matter to me whether a website is light or dark, it always has a yellow tinge when the sun sets.

I have a 25% off one item coupon from Land's End because I shopped with them. I don't want it; let me know if any of you lovely ladies do!

I still have fun playing WoW, though it kind of ebbs and wanes. We got caught up playing Destiny 2 with friends when it came out on PC, so I've been slacking on WoW until the new raid comes out at the end of this month.
I have more fun collecting and battling with pets more than most of the end game stuff anyway. :)

Do it, Monkey. I'll be your bad voice of reason and tell you to absolutely play WoW again.

They do! No crossplay though to my knowledge, but they start at the same time.

Awesome! I'll have to jump back on and give it a go then, it's been ages since I last played. Thank you!
