Death, and other assorted non-sense...

I find it odd that undead people still die. And it's not in the way that the Crawl zombies die. Those you just beat the crap out of until their limbs fall off, then you turn their bodies into beef chunks. You have none of that "cut off the head" nonsense like in those zombie movies I hear you people talk about either. Here, you have a certain amount of health. get rid of it, and poof! you keel over and it's technically dead time. At least for the chester, anyway. What I find even stranger is that when we (meaning the playas) die here, we don't really _die_. Our spirit wakes up in the (sometimes not so) nearby graveyard, and we get to run back to where our body is. Think it's nice, huh? Wrong. For starters, any spells on you are canceled. (I think you people call 'em buffs or some such.) Major suckage for the non-spell users who have to get their fix from someone else. Secondly, your armor gets a little beat up in the process. Eventually you have to get it fixed, which costs money. Third, you resurrect with about half your health. Sure, you get better over time, but that's not always a good thing. And finally, if you take too long getting back to your body, you have to fight the same batch of chester that you just killed, along with possibly fighting the person who just offed you. AND they are at full health! Talk about levels of suck! Makes me glad I'm a rogue and have the wonderful ability called stealth. that's gotten me out of a few nasty "corpse runs" I've had to do.

In any case: Part of my playing tourist was exploring Undercity. Not really a 'tourist' attraction, as certain bovine friends have mentioned. But it's an interesting place to wander around in. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore. I ran across Lady Sylvanas while I was exploring. Nice lady, but whoa! You are on tip toes and walking on eggshells around her entourage. I can see just how she managed to get free of the Scourge.

I've been informed that I'm not gettign a change to do anything tonight, so I'll just mess around on this thing and see if there are any dead porn sites out there. (and no, that's _NOT_ an invitation!
