RP on Kirin Tor in Steady Decline. April 24, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Gaming, W.O.W , 2commentsKirin Tor, to most people is an RP server which is apart of the WoW world, for players like myself.
This server is one of the first RP servers, and at the start it had exceptional role play, and it produced many good role players.
However, now that we come to the age of now, the Horde side has shown to myself (who is completely new) and a few others who have been around since the Start of the Burning Crusade launch, that Role Play has now started to Decline, and with each passing day it declines more, and we are left with lore breakers, and in general the most horrible story lines I have ever seen.
I am sorry here, but as much as I love this server it is falling by the way side. Many people are leaving for Moonguard, or even just quitting. Kirin Tor needs help.
If you are an exceptional Role player, and believe in following the lore, and playing your toon correctly by class, job and race then please Role Play!
Demons, and Demon possesion need not apply.
The only demons that should be in the lore, are the Legion, Free agent, Illedan (?) which had his own staff. None of these had the power to possess. So it is not possible. So please check the lore before making a back story.
There are demons already in the Kirin Tor universe, however, there is just too much going on that breaks the lore. Some of us, want it to end. We will work to get Kirin Tor’s RP back up to normal. Back to how it should be.
Either that or Moonguard and other rp servers alike will end up being host to Kirin Tor refugees. Such is the way of things.
So I’m backing up the few guilds that have decided to take a stand. I will be standing tall with them. I will not only level my toons, I will also RP my best and no longer accept this demon lore rp anymore.
Demons in Blood Elf hosts is Not possible. I am sorry, if my friends who have fallen down this path get upset, but this is for the best. I don’t want to watch friends leave Kirin Tor. I don’t want to see the best RP’ers I’ve ever known suddenly leave for another server.
So I’m going to do my best. Those of you on Kirin Tor who are also Role Players should consider where you stand. Leave or save Kirin Tor?
It is up to us as players and Role Players.
Weddings in WoW April 22, 2008

Yes the picture says it all.
A few days ago, my character. The only one that doesn’t have a name hovering above her head, was invited to this event.
Now I know two of the players quite a bit, the others not that well, and the bride to be is a sweet girl.
Keep in mind, this is RP, so it is a fictional event in a fictional world, though I have seen serious gamer couples plan large and epic weddings.
The point of this post however, is to just share my thoughts.
Now none of my characters have gotten hitched in game, though this is the third event I have seen. Two being in the wayfarers inn.
It’s proven to be rather interesting, none the less. If any of my toons get married thoug, in an In Character Role play story arc, I think I’d have them hitched in Ashenvale, and only have a small guest list. Weddings take a long time to plan, and I’ve seen some good ones and bad ones on You tube.
So it’s all just a matter of prospective really.
Of course I apologize for not having that many pictures with this post, but oh well.
It is simply because as I went though each screen grab most were the same.
I’ve done the best I could, and these actually are the only ones that I feel do give the event any justice, had I not been busy I probably would have stuck around to make a good screen grab, however I had to bolt.
Mom plays Guitair Hero at Shilo Army base. March 22, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Uncategorized , add a commentThe humor and hilarity for me today was my mother playing Gutair Hero.
It is surprising to see my mother play this game as she laughs up-roaisly and squeeling when the intro guys telling her when she sucks. I guess it doesn’t help that my mother has been drinking wine…
It has proven to be the highlight of my day so far.
RP in World of Warcraft. March 18, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Uncategorized , add a commentWhen I first started playing WoW I got addicted to the quest runs, and just killing things. It was fun working on my skills, and it was great. All was good with the world.
But then, I got bored.
I happened to find a group of RP’ers ranging from 15-40 in the Silver Moon City Inn “Wayfarers”. I sat around on my my new mage and watched for a few days, and then before I knew it I was involved, I was having fun.
It’s sucked me in.
I’ve made some friends with great people. Some are exceptional RP’ers, and with the /roll system when grouped the RP battles are sound and fair.
It’s an interesting thing to experiance. So now I play and quest, and RP from time to time.
Ofcourse this is only late at night. The rest of the time? I’m off line, and doing the Mommy thing.
It’s a strange world, that lies within world of warcraft.

I could not say it better.
Wanding Warlocks need not apply. February 15, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Gaming, W.O.W, general musings , add a commentYes the title says it all. When one lfg’s for sfk, they normally expect to to gather some good players that know what the heck they are doing.
Now don’t get me wrong, you may know what you like to do personally. But in a run of an instance, for the love of god pay attention to your group, their health, and occasionally cast dots!
Wanding over and over won’t do shit, against Argul. Dot’s, dot’s and more dots will however!
Also for the love of my sanity DON’T EVER PULL something towards you if you can get past it without aggro. This is stressed times a gazillion. If your main tanks have moved on to the next room follow them ASAP. Forget the damn lone ghost. Just MOVE YOUR lock ass to the next room!
So a note to the wise.
If you see a LFG for sfk, and you know you won’t be much help because you just want to go along for the exp ride, and use wand the entire run. Do us a favor please.
Don’t apply.
FATHER BEATS CHILD AFTER XBOX FALLS OVER. January 31, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Gaming, parents , add a commentNow this is an interesting article to find and read on Girl Gamers, the Live journal community I frequent quite a bit.
I am a mother. My daughter is five years old.
I would never smack let alone beat my child to death over something so… STUPID. I would get angry, but it’s called counting to ten and removing yourself from the situation and calming down.
After reading the article, I felt sick to my stomach.
That poor girl didn’t deserve death over something like that. Take this as an advanced warning.
If you think you’ll get mad enough to hit or harm a small child for something like this more then ONCE. (Read small swat to bum) then you need to seriously re-consider your ethics as a parent, and seek help to curb the anger.
The new Tower. It is shiny. January 20, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so far
So this gamer chick has finally done it. She has bought a new computer. Granted the actual adventures in getting it were amusing at best.
It started out with getting home Friday, and being impatient. See Tia didn’t want to go outside with me to get it, so I had to get a babysitter. This is where good ol’ Swan, my partner in Anime Convention crimes comes into the picture.
It took about an hour, because he missed the 12:30pm bus from his place of residence to mine. Upon arrival I gave him instructions on how to keep Tia amused. In this case, it was the simple rm files of Sailor Moon Stars for Tia. (She’s a big moon fan, and considering I have everything except a few eps of S and Supers, it’s a given.)
I grabbed my daughters sled, dressed as warmly as I could and was on my way. The store isn’t that far at all from where I live. Just have to cross one street and walk down the strip mall to get to it.
When I got in, the guy I talked to last Tuesday didn’t recognize me right away, so a simple prompting of “I called last Tuesday looking for a system that could play wow.” He recognized me then and we started to go through the towers, based on price and specs. I had a $444.00 dollar budget.
We finally settled on a nice tower which is taller then my old one. Before tax it was around 2 hundred, bring it to around 3 hundred. I snapped it up. It looks really nice. Fits on my desk nicely. I have a good long warenty on it as well.
Getting it home was a pain though.
Due to snow there was constat risk of the sled I had it strapped to tipping, so I had to bend over butt in the air, and push the thing home.
Needless to say I did get it home alright.
But my hands were unbelievably numb.
A new computer in the future? January 14, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : Uncategorized , 3commentsSo I found a store that may very well, have what I need in a computer.
Now I already have a good monitor and and good accesories to go with it. I just need a fairly good new Tower that will let me watch You tube, play wow, and let me watch my anime in peace.
Well did some research with a friend, aparently there’s a store not far from where I life that actually deals in parts PRE Vista.
Which is a good thing, seeing as Vista is as buggy as hell, and I hates it with a passion.
Anyways, the guys at this store are trustworthy, and if I can work out a payment plan with them where I pay money when I can I can rent the system till I own it. Which in and of itself is better in the long run. I would no longer have to fight with this current home brew and I would be happy enough to not complain anymore in regards to computer issues.
The question is, do I really want to. lol. XD
Another WoW topic. January 13, 2008
Posted by caldi-chan in : W.O.W, general musings , add a commentOn a lark a few months ago, I created the wow Character Davetango.
Name derived and a nod to one of my favorite shows, and T.A.P’s Team member. Last Dec when I wasn’t grinding Tarrlin, (who is now lvl 32) I was goofing off and grinding this character. By the time he hit 20, Swan via his Pally, Mayeliena (sp?) had this character join a guild. So I was level grinding like mad, and enjoying the feeling of being in a family like guild.
Welcome to Darklords of Vengeance. The members are all nice and help each other out. In fact they make the quest grinding rather fun and it’s nice to have a bunch of people you can associate with to talk to while you solo it out on the newbie quests as well.
Today Davetango, dinged level 33, and was able to complete a rather interesting quest with the help of a guild member who had the Magistrate rank. Now usually I do avoid the fleshy characters. They die so easily, however, this mage knew what they were doing.
It made for an interesting time before I logged off to write this while eating a breakfast of cereal while waiting for my daughter to wake up. I may only get to play on weekends now on Swan’s laptop when I am not hanging out over there, but I hope it will be worth it.
This guild actually makes being in a guild, FUN.
