At the end of December 2007, we (Bob, Sean and I) moved from the Odin to the Pandemonium server. After only a few months there, we decided to make another server change. This time to Bismark. Funny how different servers have different environments.
Odin, for example, is over-populated, packed with people that were self-serving and generally a unpleasant place to be. Pandemonium has nice people, but no one partied at the lower levels. It was odd. Not a bunch of new players. Mostly players that have taken one job to level 75 and stayed there. Even when they leveled, it was on other characters rather than making one character that had multiple jobs. Strange. Bismark seems to be a blend of both. New players and overall happy veterans.
During the course of the moves Seangem changed his name to Esus, Nuker is now Sup, Bliss is now Atia, Mercury is now Honos and we have created two new Tarutarus: Pullo and Eirene. Jenmist changed her name to Roseblade while on Pandemonium but then changed it back when we moved to Bismark. I liked the new name, but it just didn't feel right to be named something other than Jenmist. People would call me Rose and I wouldn't respond. Bliss was taken on both servers, so I named her after my favorite Rome character. The new tarutarus followed suit: Pullo for Sean's favorite Rome character and Eirene to match. Sean refused to go back to Seangem so Esus he became. Mercury was taken on both servers so Sean named him Honos. Lots of name changes, but still the same players.
Although we liked running our own social LS, it was heartbreaking to make friends and watch them leave. So this time around we are joining a LS. The boys are seeking an endgame LS and I'm still undecided. My schedule doesn't permit me to commit to set times for events and honestly I don't have much interest in one. I may join a social and help people get missions, quests and AF as needed... just to have something to do.
Today my focus was on Jenmist's DNC. Went from 28-31 today so it is well on its way to becoming a viable subjob. Not sure if I want to take it to 75 just yet. But who knows. I change my mind as easily as changing jobs.
I have yet to find a social LS to "hang out" on but I'm sure I will soon. I've met a few nice people so far, but most seem to have had an endgame LS where they spend 100% of their time. I'm not too concerned. I became used to playing without social interaction towards the end of our time on Odin and all of the time I spent on Pandy.
I like DNC as it is the most versatile job I have ever played; back up tank, back up healer, puller, debuffer just to name a few roles. I'm always moving. similar to the way that a BRD does. It is a little challenging to play a main tank or healer because of DNCs dependancy to TP but it can be done. I'm sure it will improve at 33 when I can wear the Peacock Charm. I may break down and buy a set of Snipper's Rings to boost my ACC. The prices have dropped a ton since the last time I considered picking them up for my DRG.
Speaking of DRG, I tried DRG/DNC the other day and it went surprisingly well. Mainly I was curious to see how the wyvern would react to weapon skills (incidentally like a WAR sub). It was interesting enough that I am considering using DNC as my sub to help level DRG to 60. But it will all depend on how much I want DRG AF for Jenmist.
I'm sure I will pop on occasionally to update my blog but I don't see it happening consistently. I highly doubt that it is even looked at by anyone anyway but that was never the point of posting here in the first place. I enjoy writing about our journey, where ever it takes us. I'm content in playing when I can and bringing my blog up-to-speed with my stats to pass the time.
