Well this may be an odd thing for a Christmas time show, BUT since I usually do a show after or during Christmas regarding it then it shouldn't be surprising :)
OK primary topic is World of Warcraft, specifically economy. I found it to be quite jarring in difference between two servers. the two I'm comparing are Argent Dawn and Wyrmrest Accord. Argent Dawn has always had problems with two many new people, mainly because of it beginning with an "A". It is the first server listed in RP servers, Wyrmrest being the last. Just to give you an idea on how this can muck things up try this on.
I checked out the price of a small egg, something I could go and bonk something on the head for and not have much problem. I needed five for a quest to get WoW's version of Santa Clause, Greatfather Winter, some gingerbread cookies. Now on Argent Dawn I check and the price for ONE egg was either fifty gold or ninety gold. To those scratching their heads right now, gold is the highpoint of money going from copper, to silver to gold. 100 copper=1 silver, 100 silver=1 gold. Now keep in mind anyone from level 5 on up can get a small egg no problem, 50 gold however, impossible.
Now on Wyrmrest I checked and I got 5 eggs for 1 gold. I saved a minimum of two hundred and twenty four gold, just by being on a server at the bottom of the RP list. It would be interesting to go through them and see if that is a trend, if as you go up from Wyrmrest things get more expensive.
Warcraft has been a favorite of mine since I got the Warcraft II Battle.net CD, so I'll never leave it, though I still think the best fun to be had is Warcraft III Corridor maps. I can play those for hours :)
Other note is I now consider myself officially a member of Wenatchee's Mission Creek Players. I was present from Rehersal, to show and take down on Farndale's A Christmas Carol. I never missed a show, and have a great time. I also got asked if I would be interesting in being part of a play the director is thinking of proposing for next season. Granted this was just a thought, but that says to me they know I'm serious now about wanting to be a part of things. it's a good feeling to be a part of something again.
That's it for this show, have a good holiday season :). |
