Okay the Poll is now fixed. I hope. The culprit was that I hadn’t popped in the code for the cookies on every page. It should be kosher now. Well that’s it. Go about your business, there’s nothing to see here.

Here is a neat link that I thought was really cool. The LOTR Personality Test. Then I took it and was a little bummed. It turns out that I’m Boromir. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Oh poor Boromir. I did think the LOTR’s movie played Boromir a little to bad. Boromir wasn’t bad, just a little misguided. I thought the dude that played him did a great job. Seeing Boromir die was neat in an epic kind of way. So I guess there’s worse things to be than poor Boromir.

Well I have been playing DAoC some more and I’ve made level 19. And I have noticed that I’m getting better at killing stuff. Which really is the point of the game isn’t it? Now I’m not knocking the game. I dig it. I wouldn’t write about the game if I didn’t like it.

Sadly my hitting level 19 was a lonely event. It was me and three other AOD guild mates playing. These guys were upper twenties to low thirties. Not a peep out of them when I made my level. Usually you would type in something like “Ding, made a level” which would be followed by the others with “Congrats” and maybe a “Woot” or two.

Now I don’t blame them. They could have been busy or in the group channel. But it was a lonely moment. This is why I have to start playing during the pm hours. I have been getting on when I get home in the morning from work. The game really is more fun when playing with other people.

Oh well. I have found a great spot for hunting solo and I made my level there in just a few hours. So I’ll see if my luck holds out and maybe I’ll hit twenty by tomorrow.

Well I made it to a guild meeting after who knows how long. After the meeting I got to go on a RvR raid with my AOD guild mates. It was an interesting experience. It was my first trip to another realm. Needless to say I died. There was some disruption of the chain of command. Chaos ensued and more than just me died.

So maybe I’m going to spend some more time gaining levels before I try that again. I have 4 bounty points, whatever that means. The whole RvR thing was a chaotic mess. I will get used to it the more I go.

I mentioned Star Trek Bridge Commander not to long ago. Here is a screen shot showing off this cool looking game:

Doh! I am a geek. But man it looks sweet. You can even make your own registry numbers and ship names. So I could have the U.S.S. Hotelblues.com if I wanted to. And I am enough of a geek to do that.

Here it is a few hours and I can go home. This last night was my last day on, so I have four days off in front of me. The hotel has started to pick up a little bit. It wasn’t a spurt, more of a minor hiccup.

I added a few more things to the site. Over on the left (down a bit) is a DAoC server status list that tells you how many people are playing on each server. Below that is a link to a page that gives you the specifics on the Bors server. The Bors server being the one I play on.

Both of these items come the way of the DAoC Catacombs. This site has tons of info on the game. It also has a character builder where you can plan out you character from level 5-50. If you play the game add DAoC Catacombs to your bookmarks.

Well that’s about it. I’m looking forward to getting home so I can play. I’m getting a renewed enjoyment out of the game now that I’m on the verge of hitting the twenties level wise. Well I’ve got to get back to work.

Well so I made it. I have some cool quests to do now. Hopefully I’ll get some good stuff. Stuff so I can kill better. But again, this is what it’s all about.

Hitting twenty allows me to get an emblem put on an article of clothing. I’m also high enough in the guild to get the emblem. It costs five gold to get the emblem put on your choice of clothing. Five gold was all I had to my name. Besides a few coppers. Here’s the emblem of the AOD that I’m wearing on my back:

Now I wouldn’t of picked purple. But I didn’t pick the colors. For that matter I wouldn’t have picked yellow and purple. But it’s no big deal. I’m just happy I’ve hit level 20.
