I say, jolly good show, sir!

One thing I have discovered from all my Football Manager Live playing is just how well-mannered, well-meaning and well wicked (guy) an MMO community is capable of being. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve lauded long and hard in the past about how EQII’s collection of virtualists are amongst the very best in the business when it comes to friendlioscity and helpfulability, it’s just that with FML there’s a very specific social mechanic at work that warrants further expounditurisation (sorry, I’ve obviously unknowingly swallowed a fake-word thesaurus at some point today. I’ll try to keep myself in check).

History repeating itself like an old repeating thing

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here.  A couple of half-hearted attempts at travel comedy notwithstanding, it’s just been damned hard to find either time or, indeed, energy to sit down and dictate something to be entered by the team of faithful manservants I have on hand to carry out my earthly whims at any given moment.

Life has been busy, both work and personal, some good, some great, some devastatingly terrible and some nerve-shatteringly tense, not in that order. But the one overriding reason behind the lack of wit, banter and anecdotal amusements is simply this – I haven’t been playing EverQuest II since some time last year.
