I have all these great thoughts seriously!

Like: "why... but hte.. I'm hungry... pizza.. so tired.. droool... eyes.. failing me"

Yeah so I'm super mentally literate right now. So you get a post!

Just to weigh in on the unending crazy huge gossip circle about the horsie that happened this weekend(I'm sure this is dead horse material by now but still).

I've always held that there is no "right or wrong" pricing options for anything that isn't considered a basic human need.

If blizzard decided today to offer a new superclass that did 5% more damage/healing/threat than any other class and charged $30 more a month for it? I'd still be playing WoW. I wouldn't even consider this a horribly unfair thing.

Because thats how everything else in life works that I've seen. Exclusive access or extra perks or better service... costs more money.

Alternatively if Blizz sold xp or gold or gear... you know I'd be fine with buying it if it let me get to the portion of the game I wanted to play. And I'd be fine with other people buying it too. Their gear level doesn't change my game play(pve) and when it does(pvp) well.. I'm already lightyears behind anyone of the endlessly super rich players who exist now. They are blessed with endless amounts of time and time is worth more than money.

So changing the game where people with money could get perks? How would that change it for me? I'd still be way behind the guys with money just like I'm behind the guys with time. I think the only people affected would be the guys with time as they would have competition for those pixels on their screen.

And tada everyone is happy because they get a post from a braindead me on the issue.

p.s. Blizz might want to price any such options to such a degree that the money made would balance for the subscription lost by the player getting bored after they've beaten everything.

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
