19/11/04 The
end.
Wow.
Both literally and figuratively.
Southern
Armada is moving to the World
of Warcraft.
The Glory of
SA will now shine in Multiple games. We have membership in Everquest2,
Everquest1 and World of Warcraft. SA will survive multiple games
I think, simply because we are all older players and into it for
the fun as opposed to the PhatLewtz or the being L33t.
There are still
some staying to continue on in EQ. There are some going to EQ2
but the bulk
of us are moving to WoW.
It all came
down to a post on the guild Message Board by the Great Bear Our
leader Kezlar. He essentially said what everyone was thinking.
He had had enough, it wasn't fun anymore and the on going lack
of people showing up to raids was telling him that was true for
a lot of other people.
That basically
opened the floodgates and we all simply poured out.
GOD broke EQ
for a lot of us. POP was superb, a lot of fun, GOD was awful and
sucked all of the fun out of the game. Its nice that SOE apologized
and flew lots of people to see them so they could say sorry. But
after that nothing changed, there was a big burst of publicity
and then SOE went back to its usual dead silence.
I would have
been angry once, but not anymore. They have just lied, broken
promises, nerfed, failed to communicate, insulted the player base
and generally acted like they don't have a clue once too many
times. Even those in a coma can awake from their sleep and say
enough.
Thanks for
5+ years of EQ. Its been a blast and I will leave this web-log
up for some time to come yet.
There are many
very good people still staying in EQ1 and I believe they will
rebuild and continue on very successfully.
Ulaa has gone
to sleep.
She sits dreaming
on the shores of the Plane of Tranquility looking out over the
entrance to the Elemental Plane of Fire. She is in Lich form,
gently bobbing up and down, with her faithful pet standing at
her shoulder.
There she will
sit until one day, maybe, I may venture back into EQ.
I want to continue
doing these gaming blogs however.
Its been a
hell of a run. Its been nearly 6 years.
