Or maybe those were spectacles. No, spectacles were definitely in Lusternia. You know what? I don't know if there was a monocle. There was indeed a monocle but I forget what it did.

Skarash almost had me convinced I should join the Ashura once upon a time but I was too erratic to stay in one place for long and I didn't want to guildhop from his guild. Even though I'd been a member of every city at one point or another I still consider Ashtan to be home. Ha! That’s great you played Achaea too.

Like, WoW is the only one now. I eventually become the guildmaster (called Archdragon) of the Ashuran monks; my name was Shusen. I still have a soft spot for the game, and about once a year log on to say hi and see if any other old bastards are still about in the city of Ashtan. I might have spent $500 on artifacts, not sure of total; it was a while ago. I think Achaea was one of the earliest of the micro-transactions opt-in games, eh? Likewise, I don't care if Blizzard can make money from race/faction/gender/name changes, in-game pets or anything superficial like that. It's just fine. In Achaea, you bought REAL power: artifacts made you win fights. I played Achaea for quite a long while, and was my only game for that time. Like, WoW is the only one now.

I guess your threads only go 4 deep. Anyway, to the point. YOU HAD A MAGIC TOP HAT? WERE THERE MAGIC MONOCLES? Aw, it stopped letting me reply. I guess your threads only go 4 deep.

Anyway, to the point. YOU HAD A MAGIC TOP HAT? WERE THERE MAGIC MONOCLES?

I don't think I have any cool toys on Angaril except the magic top hat. Oh I think I got three artifact pipes too. I've got more toys in Lusternia but they're mostly market related, not so much cool and interesting like the top hat. I’m a bit stumped.

You switched camps a lot, if I recall. And I don't remember you having any super cool toys. Weren’t most of yours spent learning things, though? You switched camps a lot, if I recall.

With wow, there is an experience of the game slipping into greedy money-grubbing cash-cowness. First you could change server, then from pve to pvp then looks then race then faction now pets. For now you are supporting a charity (yaa nice) but who knows how long that will last? And what will the next step be in Blizz attempt to grind whatever $ they can out of us? "Avoid the 'additional servers cannot be launched' issue with premium instance server premium"? - Thats my bet.
