Something Old…
At the peak of my WoW addiction the guild I ran with was full of very creative fellows. I’m not sure when it began but someone wrote up one of our weekly encounters into a nice little prose narrative.

I suppose it’s not too different from “bowling night” or “meeting the guys at the bar” with the exception that we’re home where our spouses can typically roust us for that last minute “honey do.”
Recently once of the guys (we shall use his handle Beet) logged on to find the majority of his equipment and inventory missing from several of his toons. Of course the first thought was that his account was hacked so immediately Beet submits an in-game GM request. Beet gives the GM the particulars after close to an hour of waiting. During this time we discovered some peculiarities. Read the rest of this entry »
