Back into MMO's? ...didnt take me long!

Well i said on an earlier post that i was done with MMO's until DMo was released...

Got a text from my old mate Nik who i met playing WoW that he and some of my old WoW mates were trying Dungeons and dragons online (DDO) for a break before the new wow expansion is released. The guys are the same as me, theve got tired of wow and were having a break.

I used to play DDO briefly before i started WoW and i have to say im enjoying it more than what i did 4 years ago, add to the fact that its free and has no subscription fee is a great bonus.

So there will be upates on my times playing my Dwarf Cleric ''Calmingwind Beerheart'' instead...atliest until DMo is released.......

Now where have i heared that before???

Ive decided to Quit World of Warcraft

I never thought the day would come.. but i have now not played the game for 3-4 weeks and i can honestly say i dont miss it.
Like alot of people woho have played and sull play this great game it took up alot of my spare time, to much time infact. now i dont blame WoW for this specificly its the whole MMO genre that can cause such games to be fiercely addictive.
Im not going to slate the game as it has given me 4 years of enjoyment but the fact remained that there was little left of originality for me and i found my self repeating things quite a bit within it. It seemed like a good a time as any.
I will surely miss alot of the people i have met through the game and some of them i do truely consider as friends now in RL. I will keep in contact with the majority of them and hopefully do some more different things with them in future.

Dark Millenium Online
That leads me on nicely to my next point which is i will be taking a break from all MMO's until the release of Dark Millenium online (DMO) which is the new MMO being created set in the 40k universe. to me this is the only thing that would pull me back into MMO's and from what ive seen of it so far it looks outstanding and i cant wait for more news on it as it develops.

Here is a link to the webpage with trailer

Blood Angels: an update

Ok an update on my blood angels...

Well i wish i could say more lol! RL (real life) so far has gotten in the way.

My weekends in the past fortnight have involved me being away up North in Stockton visiting relatives and down in London with the other half but this weekend being free (that im aware) im looking to finally finish up and preparing my marines for under coating and hopefully a bit of actual painting.

Im considering even taking them into work to paint them on my lunch break... may seem a little radical to some but it would be an hour or so without interuption!
If i did that for even just a week it would be five hours of painting i wouldnt normally do and hopefully should speed the process along so i can catch up on some time from the last fortnight
