Hiname

Hiname seemed to be rather following and talking. It looked like she was not paying attention to anything around her, though she was clearly aware of the things happening around her, she just decided to focus on the matters at hand before being distracted. Things went just a too good way currently. "Well I gathered a lot of money, saved every last gil I could get my hands on from my own little business. Recently, I closed up my little forge and went to the bigger city of Gridania, paying nearly all my money to open up a big guild center and buy the needed equipment. It will be ready for opening in a couple of weeks, but to make this plan flourish, I need others. Crafters, salesman, guards... Man and woman capable and able to work for the anvil." She had a slight smirk on her face as she reached in her bag and waved with something that looked like.. A blueprint? "Theory is all but through and done. What I need are worthy employees now."

[ There. ugh... about damn time to find back the time and energy to go back to RP'ing and taking care of the rest of stuff. Well then, where were we... ] "Very well... let us grab a drink and I'll tell more." On the way, she grabbed one of the flyers she postet all over the city and sighed while looking at it. "The Silver Anvil... one might say it is pretty much much idea of how to help the countless adventurers that seek to save the world from evil lately." She shrugged faintly, with some of thoughtfull expression on her face. "Plus, some things about history really made me sick. The bards always tell storys of great heroism, the brave hero killing the morbol, saving the princess and hell knows what. So.. I doubt he picked up his weapon at the local store. Why does such storys never tell the missing details, so to say. Im sick of the heroes getting the fame and those who they got their weapons for remaining unknown and unhonored for all time. The Silver Anvil... I plan to make it a grand guild. A place for crafters and salesman from all over the world. As a guild to sell goods of every craft, as a brand famous throughout the world." While mentioning the last part, her eyes were almost sparkling, shining in grandeur and visions of a wealthy future.

You invite a friend over to your house for the afternoon. Describe what your friend would see upon entering your home. The small house is barely more then a shag. Two rooms, with one of them being little more then a small corner filled with things hat would label the area as a kitchen. The rest of the "house" is a single room being bed and living room at the same time. Every interior is made of the simple but sturdy wood found all over Gridania. While mostly tidy, tools and half-written books are scattered around everywhere. During the casual small-talk that ensues, your friend asks you if you have read any good books lately. How do you respond? Looking around, picking up several of the books on the ground while mumbling something under breath, looking for one worth mentioning and handing it over with a big smile. Your friend eventually leaves, and you're still bored. Restless, you leave the house and set out for a walk. Describe the neighborhood you live in. Forest, forest.. more forest. Badass huge trees and.. more forest. Living alone in the middle of nowhere does has its downsides, luckily the next village is not that far away. Oh no! An orphan is in trouble! Down the street from where you stand, a small street urchin is being bullied by three larger youths. What do you do about it? "Cut that out, boys. Mess with someone to match your size and numbers." After sneaking up and bonking their heads one by one. Being a well-trained blacksmith does make an impressive appearance, even for a Miqo'Te. Adventure time! The next day, still restless, you decide that what you need is a good change of pace. How do you pack for your four-day road trip to Ishgard? Enough food of the storage, a well made armor and weapon of the own forge and the matching tools to repair them on the journey. The forest is far from harmless aroudn these days. Along your journey, you spot some bandits waiting at a bridge across a wide but slow moving river up ahead of you. They haven't seen you yet. You need to cross the bridge to get to where you're going. How do you handle the situation? Sneak backwards a few minutes, spendign a good amount of time to treat both weapon and armor until they are flawless and shining, closing the helmed and hiding the set of tools as good as possible before making the way over the bridge, hoping that the impressive sight will do the trick and getting away without much of a fight. If not... Hoping that spear can take out one fast enough to proove it was a bad diea attacking. If THATS not working... well, running is always an option. You have just arrived for the first time in a new big city. Where do you go first? The next inn. getting out of that armor, taking a small rest and then heading out to find the local center for good food. For being the 1,000th tourist to the city, you have been given a 6,000 gil voucher to spend as you like at the Ishgard Department Store (think FFXIV version of Macy's). What do you spend it on? Fancy tools and materials to work with of course. High-quality goods make the best price for my own. Never say no to a way to make more money then before. All of that shopping has made you deliriously hungry. What sort of food establishment do you seek out for lunch? Fish. Fish is "always" the best idea. Five months later and safely back at home, you realize the Winter Festival is approaching! What sort of present do you pick out for your mother (or nearest living relative, or closest friend)? Knowing she is a passionate alchemist, I certainly found something back in Ishgard she'd like. As for mostly having no clue about alchemie, i hope the shopkeeper handed me something usefull, otherwise I'd had to get back there for an old-fashioned beating.

Hmm.. no more Grey Warden I guess.

I totally agree on that. I knew I picked the best spot right away. *cough*

"Dude. What?" *giggles helplessly*

"Damn, its about time." *spits out the cigarr*

Follow me, Im a link! Jump forward to 2:25!

Heard it in the weekly mmo-report, when they mentioned Miraluka, Sith-Purebloods, the Darth-Maul dudes and a greenskin whose name I never heard about.

Hmm.. the KotoR games are republic time as well, are they not? The sith were gone that time for qutie a good deal of time already. *thinks more*

Waitasecond. The starwars mmo has... SITH PUREBLOODS as a playable race? 0__o Someone please slap me, but, arent they.. like.. gone since several thousand years?

Talk about needed informations when you try to make your guilds living based on crafting. *cough* But somehow its massively hard getting a single word out of anyone..

Im dissapointed. Been away for so long and nobody said anything about my selfmade stuff. Shame on you all. *pouts* I ussaly play a "My stuff is always bigger then yours"-Naya deck. It owns badly. *snicker* But my alltime favorite is.. this: 7 Forest 7 Mountain 1 Island 1 Swamp 1 Plain 3 Jungle Shrine 3 Tukatongue Talid 2 Glutenous Slime 4 Mycoloth 2 Jund Battlemage 4 Thorn-Lash Viashino 3 Rockslide-Elemental 2 Garruk Wildspeaker 4 Rampand Growth 3 Fistfull of Force 2 Luminiscent Rain 3 Lash out 2 Dragon Fodder 3 Spore Burst 3 Exploding Borders

Here you go then. *smiles happily*

You mean a world where the epic of all epics Akroma VS Phage does not end at the fact that Akroma laughs at Phage due her "Protection against Black"? That be totally awsome.

As a matter of fact, I made a rather big deal of cards. A dualist pack, to be precice, a pack of cards ready to play for two players, featuring things and characters of the game series Project Zero (or Fatal Frame to the US).. someone ever played that? Then I would upload the cards for you to check out and rate. (Im a sucker for feedback, ya' know..)

Well, Im playing Magic the Gathering myself. I like the fact that "every" card has use, one way or another. Not to mention the huge card database, oh so many choices..

" ... What in the name of king tonberrys lantern was THAT?" She was getting more and more confused, as she tried to say something several times by now, scratching her head and giving a sift sigh before she looked at the huge man as well and blinked faintly with the idea of him being a weaver. But then again.. you take what you get in such times. "AHAM! ... Well, yes, Those flyiers are mine. The Silver Anvil is my idea and guild, being a place for crafters of all kinds, on the way of being a brand known for quality and dedication. Or at least thats where things have to start."

"Whatever... If you look for me, I'll be inside then and wait for someone to pay up." The big man yawned, obviously bored by the raging woman and her freshly found backup, before he left and indeed walked inside. Hiname sighed and facepalmed for a moment, mumbling under her rbeath before she looked up. "I want to open up a recruitment office for my guilds headquarters that will open up in gridania real soon. Though i need to make sure I reach more people in the world then just in the grand forest."

Hiname blinket several times. That was quite the change of topic there in a few seconds. But she shrugged and then nodded slowly. "Why, yes, this is pretty much correct. I can't effort to pay such a price for a tiny space like this, I have several other things I need to get for that. There is a sign with my guilds crest just waiting to be picked up within the hour and lets not mention the interior I need to buy. The price for this shop is just insane! What is it, is the backroom made of hidden gold or still packing a bunch of corpses?" Clearly, the feisty woman was hard to "really" calm once she picked up her anger. She could not stop glaring at the mountain of a man in front of her.

Edited the first post again with some more information. Trying to get the Market-Preview ready as soon as possible. Maybe something to look forward too?

"DAMN RIGHT THERE IS!" The rather frail looking woman with the oddly flopped forward cat-ears was glaring at the much bigger seawolf in front of her with scorching anger swelling in her chest. It was a kinda amusing sight, as the much taller man remained mostly quite and calm, while the ussaly so gentle and calm woman was shouting like someone just made a very rude offer to her. "That huge, cheating brickhead demands a freaking fortune for that tiny excuse of an store area! I get a shop in the better area of town for easily HALF the price!" All the time during this "conversation", the angered Miqo'Te was waving around a nicely filled purse that obviously packed enough money to abck up her words. "Then why dont you get one of those if my price does not fit you missy?" The calm way in which she was treated as made the cute woman boil with anger. One might actually see that she was ready to burst any second. But, she suddenly too a deep sigh, closing her eyes, followed by another deep breath. "Becaaause... I dont "need" a store of this size. All I need is a small area like this to set up my recruitment and registration offshot." The tall man sighed and looked at the newcommer in this conversation, crossing his arms in front of the massive chest and gave a deep sigh. "Those woman are hopeless.."

Im lacking for a more matching word, curse you my damn 290 / 300 English skills. +raises fist in anger* So due mentioning lacking Im using this one and hope everyone get what I am trying to say: Sexist much? Its not more or less harmfull then playing military-RP that involves non-engine combat.

Oh come on, we all want an Warhammer 40k MMO. You know it. ... I would have a hard time deciding between an Eldar Farseer or a Tyranid Carnifex. Muaahahahaha! .. Ohhh, a Space Marine tank! Food in cans! *rips armor plate down*

Weeeeelll... I played WoW for many, many years. With some ups and downs, made it through classic and two expansions. I think its time to give a little rant here. The time I startet, in November 05, WoW was my very first mmo and somethign wfully new. i had the luck to jump on a server that had opened its gates only a few weeks ago, so everything was just cool around there. Playing my little mage, I explored, stared in awe and met many new friends, getting in touch with online-RP and begann loving it, spending hours in the mage-quarter of stormwind, selling my handmade Linencloth-Bags. WoW was new that time.. and everything was ponys and rainbows. My little mage grew up, reached 60, started raiding. Oh the raiding back then.. stumbling with 39 others through a fuggin' huge cavern full of trash, more trash, MOAR trash and if you're lucky you see a boss every now and then. Not to mention the loot was terrible and getting a full class-set was something you see in your depraved, wet dreams in which you bend Lady Luck over a table. Then the rgeat day, Burnign Crusade was released. Every set you gathered and every piece of loot you optained becomming worthess from one day to the enxt, replaced by something that drops by a big, red boar in the wilds. Oh well, we move on. "Some" label BC as a golden age for WoW, such as some claim thats classic. As for me, I agree with the former. I had most of my fun after hitting 70. Still having a lot of fun, though the introduction of Blood Elves opened a... well... bad influance to the hrode in therms of RP. You better stay away from Silvermoon. Oh the horrors I had to endure walking these streets... Well, eventually I managed to outlive the countless cheep and horrible plaid bloodelfs and wannabe whores and 5637553 bloodknight-champions... Raiding during BC was fun, too. No more 40 man lagfests where half the raid was afk or watching porn, anyway. I enjoyed 10 man raiding and gathering up with our partner-guild for the bigger raids. Gathering a set was actually doable and sometimes quite easy. I still love the token-way to gather sets.. Oh and lets not forget the day we all were waiting for. FINALLY! After defeating Illidan for no appearant reason, the march to Northrend begann! Time to kick some Lichking ass for real now! Okay then, back in northrend, lets go kill Ar- oh hey, look! An insane dragon! Lets kill it! .. okay, thats taken care off, now lets kill Arth- uuhhhh, an old god! Lets kill it after we elarned we better not kill them! Hurray! Now lets get back to killing.. uhh, Tirion is having a carnival! Hurray! .. Good, lets kill Arthas now. For real! Woooo! And during the whole expansion, things got worse.. and worse... and worse. It was during that time when i noticed.. WoW is worn out. Dull, outdated and ridden by comerce and Activion. *shiver* No graphic update thats worth mentioning, an hopelessly outdated engine and the same things over and over again. Mechanics fucked up and the same things all over. Dailys, grind, epics, epics, epics.. and more epics. There was just nothing to be gained anymore. The community spoiled to no end, a collection of brats, elitists and jerks as far the eye could see. Lets not mention that you were looked at veeery odd when daring to play RP in puplic. *sigh* The good times have passed, like WoW has long gone over its prime.
