sat night i was talking to andrew, and the subject of gaming came up.. brought back so many memories and so many wishes and dreams..
i've been a gamer for many years, though i have not been able to game in the past 2 years or so. i think i started when i was somewhere around the age of 16-18 (serious online gaming). my first was priston tale, which i played for probably 2-3 years.. that game made me so happy, and yet made me depressed too. levelling on that game is freaking hard when u're high leveled. one death would cost millions of exp, which would take weeks if not months to gain back, depending on how frequent one plays. during my holidays, i would wake up, start playing through the day (with breaks for lunch n other necessities) until i went to bed around 3-4am.. and this would be for a month or 2, depending on how long my holidays last. if i had school.. i'd be gaming right after school.. my ex would get so mad cos i was always gaming, even when he was there.. haha.. i stopped playing pt cos it went into pay to play mode T.T so had to give it up..
i think the next game i played was ragnarok online. i only played on private servers though. the first server i played on was called afRO, created by a friend from PT. most of us playing on that server were from PT eheheheh, we got to know each other from the PT chatroom we had on mIRC. we still keep in contact heheh.. when i venture into irc, that is..
i played a few other games after pt n ro.. among them were risk your life, flyff, maple story (gave up after 10 mins cos it sucked! haha), gunbound.. cant really remember the rest.. think there was a few more.. but the best game i've played so far is World of Warcraft!
that game really rocks! expensive to play, but definately rocks.. (i got to play for free ahhaha). the BEST thing about this game is raiding!! i absolutely love raiding.. sigh... i miss it.. one of my dreams is to be in a great guild and to raid constantly n consistently. i almost fulfilled that dream, but it didnt work out T.T i still hope to be able to achieve that somehow. i was in a great guild and i was raiding a wee bit.. didnt get to do it constantly cos the raid times were in the morning cos most of the players were american, and i had classes (back when i was in uni).. after that, certain events happened and a few of us left the guild T.T
as i was saying.. raids! raids in WoW were where big groups of players got together and went into special places to defeat certain bosses in the game. the raids were really tough and required everyone to pull their weight or the whole team would be wiped out, and mostly everyone in the team were at the max level, if not one or max two levels from max. raids in wow were like 20 or 40 man teams. the 40 player raid were AWESOME! imagine, 40 ppl gathered at one time, to do this thing together.. and we'd have to try it a few times cos we get wiped out if ppl didnt co-operate and follow the strategy.
check out a few raid pics..
a pic of the raid members.. needs to be well balanced between different characters and skills to be able to succeed.

posing ahahha..
i saw some really cool raid pics yrs back, but cant find them now..
we would all log into ventrilo so we can talk and also communicate easily during a raid. the leaders will tell everyone what they should do and what role to play and when to do this, when to do that so we can all get organized. those were awesome awesome times..
one day, i hope to be able to do this again.. but this time, gotta start from scratch.. maybe.. i think its possible to recover my lvl 60 undead warlock and 40+ dwarf warlock.. i love warlocks ahahahah..
one day...
