I promised you rolls and rolls you shall get! I know a picture isn’t as good as the real thing, but it is all I’ve got, and well a buttered up adult paladin. I must admit that I was wrong about World of Warcraft. It isn’t all 12 year olds behind the toons. There are adults in that crazy world after all, and they will be sure to let you know that they are an adult!
My hubby and I were running around working on some solo quests together when all of a sudden after running a bit ahead of me he comes running back screaming for everyone to look out, and right behind him follows another paladin screaming just as loud. I look up to see my hubby and this paladin being chased by a level 21 elite four armed white giant. I am like “Oh Noes!” and turn my little elf butt the other way and start running too. The giant keeps on coming and as we run others on the same path join us until finally the giant makes a turn and heads in another direction. Everyone relieved that they are still alive heads off to finish what they were doing before the giant began to stalk. All except the little paladin.
We turn to face him as he is jumping up and down obviously in need of our attention. He says, “We can take him… just the 3 of us. Wanna try it?” My hubby says, “Um we are both level 13 and she is level 14. I think he would smoke us!” So the little paladin says, “Oh well yeah probably. Can I group with you?” My hubby says, “Have to ask my wife.” So he turns to me and asks me to join group. I don’t mind grouping with people. I actually enjoy it most of the time, so I invite him to group. He asks if I can lead the way because his fingers hurt…. but that is fine with me, so I start leading. Of course I am very bad with direction and while having my map up while on auto run I suddenly hear myself being beat down with a club. I quickly mouse out, but it is too late the elite giant is on top of me and I am dead on the ground with my spirit waiting to be released. My hubby and the little paladin are standing off to the side up on a hill laughing their butts off. And of course they have to ask how I could possibly miss the giant….
So I am thinking this guy is OK. Not too uptight with my constant misleading and running straight into a mob that will kill us all. So we keep going and as we are working on one of our quests he begins to separate from us and keeps getting himself killed. I am like, “Stay with the group so we can work as a team.” Then he starts cussing about how he hates this Shi* and mobs resisting him when he should be able to hit them every time. The he says, “Anyone here under 12? I’m an adult! Don’t want to cuss in front of any little ones.” At this point I have to laugh because I have never in my life of mmo’s had anyone let me know that they are indeed an adult and it is OK for them to use curse words.
I just laughed and told him that I am indeed an adult as well at the age of 28 and that my hubby is 26. He responded with “I’m 16. Guess I am the young in.” So this left me wondering if he was really even 16 at all, which in no means is an adult, but I guess when you play in a world of 12 year olds it probably feels like it.
We go back to hunting for our quests and the adult paladin begins to run off again, but for once he isn’t dying so he shouts out, “I’m like butter!” and I said, “Huh?” and he said, “I’m on a roll!” I just shook my head and kept on killing. It was kind of cute. Although I found myself again asking, “What kind of crazy mmo world have I gotten myself into?”
On a roll! ROTFLMAO!
Sounds like a good kid.
Tell TightPants to read you my post in responce to his WoW flame in our AGE forums. I think I sum it up well.
I’ve been playing MMO’s for six years. Some things just don’t change, no matter what you play online.
So you two on Thrall yet?
Shiris, Weavyr, Dzur, and Piroeth

Aye:) Made a new toon tonight:) Just hit level 9 but had to log for bed:)
Cool, maybe we can get a group going tonight. Weavyr, my Draenai Shaman is 13 and at Blood Watch.
The Draenai Isles are set up much like the Blood Elf lands in that you can grind to 20 in the two zone real quick. The new starting zones are quest fat compared to ALL of the old zones. Haven’t tried to take my 46 rogue to Outland yet though. Maybe I should try, but I don’t know what lvl Outland content starts. Meh, who knows.

Ahh yes, the players who require our approval by telling us they’re mature…whether by telling us their age or trying to take some form of moral highground. People like Blitzwolfe =P
They fall right there with the priests who spamcast mind blast and then get upset because they get aggro and die a quick painful death or the toon that tries to steal a mining node while you’re already obviously on it and then gets upset when you grab all the ore =)
Players who we all despise but give us great stories to tell the non-retarded.
