So I’ve been talking a lot about RP stuff lately and kinda completely neglecting talking about any aspect of PvE. Matt and Ophelie cover things better anyways. Still, I’m fairly satisfied with what’s going on most of the time. (even if my wed/fri night rants on twitter paint a picture to the contrary at times…)
N’diayne (So I hear it’s easier to “visualize” pronouncing my name if you see the apostrophe. Y/N/Felnanas?) is… well, somewhat frustrated with what’s been going on in her 10-man guild. Don’t get me wrong–I LOVE the people I raid with in Slave, and I’m eternally grateful to them for taking us in after the … raiding conflict… in Fury. Still, it’s frustrating to know your raid team can do SO much better but still be beating your faces into the same 6 bosses every week, and getting to about the same percentage on Prof P every week… it’s rough. It’s demoralizing. Hopefully our successes this week will revitalize the group and push us solidly over that wall.
This week was actually really fantastic–we killed Blood Princes for the second time, got BQL (referred to as Blood Queen Latifah by the guildies) down, then proceeded to heal Dreamy to success before getting Sindy to about 58% best attempt. Not going to complain–that’s a HUGE chunk of progress in one night, and if we can keep it up we’ll be saying “Sup?” to Arthas pretty soon. Even with the recent split (which I’m not going to talk about right now, because I’m still muddling out how I feel about what’s going on) things have gone up instead of down, so… I’m hopeful. Cautious, but hopeful.
Conquest is facesmashing the Lich King in 25s (and 10s). No kill yet, but as soon as everyone is done vacationing and moving and DCing (sup my at-times terrible internet connection) and other bullshit things will be fine. Also Holydin gear can please start existing again. My ret set is pretty solid at this point, just need to hunt a chest, boots, and trinkets to start retflailing in 5-mans and such. Our 10-man did (imo) really, really well on LK Sunday night–I think our best attempt was around 37%, and then there was an orb and some flying off a platform and WHEE–WAIT THAT IS NOT A VAL’KYIR HOLDING MY THROAT AND TOSSING ME, BOOOOOOOO (wait, what?)… anyways. It’s steadily getting better, and that pleases me.
RP is still ridiculously hard to find or get involved with in-game. I’m actually working on another post about it, but I’m a little bit anxious about posting it… it may just end up in the Abyss known as my Drafts folder…
Children’s Week is soon, and I’m really excited to FINALLY get my Matron title. I’m also planning on working towards it on Spyri (yes, the priest, although she’s not a gnome yet, obviously), so I’ve been leveling her (kinda, lulz) trying to get her high enough.

I’m sure you have no reason to be anxious about it ^^
Some servers it is difficult to get involved in proper RP, I’d be interested to read your thoughts on that issue at least.

Ehhh. My draft version is pretty blunt.
I’ve not been on *every* server, but the two that I have characters on, the RP situation is something akin to “RP? What RP?” I *know* it’s happening (otherwise I wouldn’t keep hearing about it after the fact), but it’s nothing but crickets when I ask when things are happening or generally happen, etc.
