The Roman Catholic church is the only one that doesn't allow priests to marry, so Captain still has plenty of options. Also you can be a deacon, which is a step below but still performs many priestly functions.

I do my best to ignore any kind of release dates they put on these projects. I'll wait as long as it takes to make the game decent.

I am confus-ed.

Was that supposed to link to something?

I've been enjoying Classic Wow with some old friends. The slow leveling really gives you a chance to enjoy the world building Blizzard did in each zone. I've also gotten deep into the first Avernum game. My party has gotten pretty powerful and I've been enjoying the storyline. I think I owned this game for about 8 years without ever getting into it, and now I'm hooked.

Oh man, I regularly have dreams where I find new rooms in my house. I'm always like, hey, this is a great new space, how did I not notice it? Then I wake up and I have to figure out if that space really does exist in some way. Sometimes it actually helps, because it makes me realize I can reorganize an area and free up more space. But typically it just reminds me that having a wife, two kids, a mother-in-law, and a dog make for a crowded house.

I stalled out on Wu Assassins and need to try and push through. It's kind of textbook kung fu, terrible acting with good fighting. Chappelle's LGBTQ car ride was spot on.

You are soooo bad at math.

I barely touch the dungeons and have never raided. I wonder what percentage of classic players are like me?

It only has 5 reviews from fairly mediocre sources at this point. I watched it, or rather watched 30 minutes of it. For some reason that is my limit for standup comedy specials. I think I've watched 30 minutes of a dozen Netflix comedy specials and never gone back to finish.

I've been jumping around on a few characters. The starting areas are very lively, and that is a welcome change from the ghost town speed levelling moat mmo's are today. My dwarf hunter is currently the most fun to play, should have named him Volourn.

That's why it's so important to take care of your knees when you are young.

I can't imagine they won't release content over time. I mean, it's great right now, but once you get a bunch of people at the level cap, you'd think they would have no choice.

The pop culture references in Classic WoW are now just cultural references. They are too old to be considered popular. It's like when all the music from the 90's I grew up listening to started showing up on Classic Rock stations.

It's probably just a self defense mechanism we've all built, since we get our share of people using alt accounts and people possibly being paid by the Russians. I mean, I haven't seen you and Bruce in the same room at the same time, so there is always the chance...

It will get suitably inundated by strange new people on release date, and clear out after about a month. Some of us have been here since the dawn of time.

I am pretty sure the game is free with the subscription.

I recommend you do some cooking, too. Do some fishing, visit the cheese shops, just wander around and explore the world. It is well-crafted and I think that gets lost as everything gets bigger and faster.

Part of the problem with long established mmo's is everyone is focused on the endgame and little on the slow path to the cap. That slow journey is the most engaging part for me, and it is nice to have it rekindled for WoW classic. It feels like a nice slow walk through the world instead of a mad dash.

That's kind of the beauty of these forums. I don't recommend talking about this stuff with family, friends, work colleagues unless you have a certain type of relationship. Even with my wife, I tend to exercise as much tact as possible, and I tell her everything. Here we all let loose a bit and that's fine. Sometimes it gets pretty cyclical, but it's still been neat over the last decade watching all of us get older and slowly shift to being old and cantankerous.

Hey, at least it will wipe away the Jared Leto Joker period, so that's something.

Oh man, the Eagle rescues always bothered me on LotR. I don't remember it being well explained in the books, either. Why didn't they just jump on an eagle at the beginning of the journey? Also Frodo is an unreliable narrator who passes out at the most important parts.

I am sure it will even out within a week or so. It is neat to have that fresh world feel. I miss that from when new MMO's were launching every 6 months.

Pretty funny running around the new zones. I managed an undead mage up to level 4 despite the chaos. Human area was packed.
