2/23/17, hour long session at my home desktop. Instead of grinding levels out during this session, I decided to simply spend an hour walking around the Undercity and see what kind of interesting things happened. For the first 15 minutes, I was mainly unimpressed, with just people of varying levels walking around the place on their own respective businesses. It was fun to see all of the different looks and impressive outfits that the highest levels would have, the main commonality being extremely over done. The only event that was really worth mentioning was one moment where there was a rush of people all coming to the Undercity. It seemed like a even mix of levels, so I just assumed that it was the equivalent of a rush hour in the World of Warcraft, but it turned out to be an entire guild playing together. There were around twenty of them (all in groups of 2-4) and they all were working together on high level quests to power level the lowest leveled members to a place where they can help with raids or PvP. They invited me to join, but I politely declined, explaining that I enjoyed the grind, which they understood. They let me know that I could join and be a part of their activities any time if I just message one of them, since someone was almost always on line. The dynamics of that group just blew me away, and I loved the level of respect that they had for others. This is another piece of evidence for the community being much less toxic compared to what it had been. One other thing of note happened during this session, which was at the end, when I decided to take my character to Brill, where all of my quests were based at the time, and when I got there, a level seventy three priest challenged me to a duel. I decided to go for it. At the very least i’d get a good story out of it. So I came out with everything I had, and did a whopping one damage per spell, but he didn’t attack, and let me just grind away my mana to do insignificant damage to him. After a couple of minutes of this, a small crowd had gathered to watch the poor level 11 warlock throw marshmallow spells at a level 73 priest. Some cheered for me and some told me to just give it up, but I kept at it. After at least fifteen minutes, I had only moved his health bar by a couple of slivers, and the crowd was still shouting various encouraging or rude things. The duel continued for around fifteen total minutes, before the priest decided to end the fight by forfeiting. He then logged out after saying, “you have shown courage and a stubborn will. I approve. Check your mail.” I did so, and found that he had sent me fifty gold pieces. So now I am set for a good while as far as money goes. I think I’ll use it to level my professions, but this event is an interesting example of a person who is role-playing (engaging in the social aspect of a game) and not focusing on the achievement anymore. I cant wait to get to the level where it is possible to choose what kind of experience I want to have.
