Do you ever get those moments when games suddenly mini lag?, You get them at times that are uncomfortable and spoils the game totaly for you.

not long ago in fact during a match in Team Fortress 2, im snipering and with my ping ticking at 14~22ms on average and with my HD GPU running the game smooth fps counter running above 160 almost all the time, at a split second the ping spikes 133ms and my graphics does that glitch that makes all avatars suddenly do that speed step in that second of course the sniper at the other end that i was about to pop has suddenly turned around facing me and put a bullet in my head.

It is not only in game that this happends of course, websites can also lag, for example take it when I visit the website Http://www.thesecondsun.org I know for a fact that this site is hosted in Denmark and logics would suggest that the fastest way between my computer here in Stockholm (Sweden) would have little distance between the server there in Denmark, logics yes, fact no, in fact several traces I have done shows that instead of taking the logical route it jumps over to the US (huh??) and then connect to Denmark (wtf..).

Why is this some may wonder, I have no clue acctualy and have found no source that explains it in clear language.

Please if you have any knowledge of this issue feel free to register for a free subscribers account and leave a comment which explains it.

So, let’s talk about something else, like tropico 3 that as of the time of writing is going to hit the stores in October but one never knows, having tried the demo which I found at Fileplanet, the demo is nice and the new features brings you once more back to your tropican paradise, but now in style, a new feature is that you can change the appearance of El Presidente and much more, so if you are like me and liked Tropico and Tropico 2: Pirates Cove, you will love Tropico 3.

I mentioned earlier in a post that I pre-ordered Fallen Earth, I did so indeed from fallenearth.com and I got my pre-order ATV in game and joined the clan The Older Gamers with my mate Akotha and it’s a nice gang, Fallen Earth is a true wasteland futuristical MMORPG, Now when many mention wasteland they think along the lines of Fallout games series, now Fallout is a 1950′s themed futuristical RPG thus the games have no other relation to each other but the theme of a wasteland earth caused by a massive disaster or a Nuclear war

Do you have a cold?, I do indeed have one, my way of countering colds are to drink hot water blended with Orange Juice or any other flavor enhancers and I keep it balanced to my normal fluid intake.

Drink alot and sleep is the more common call when you have a cold or at least thats what mothers tells you in tv series when I was a child.

And so we are at an end to this post, have a good day and be in health.

Deep in the forests north-east of Darnassus, a cottage covered and hidden among the surrounding trees.
Within this lavishly decorated home a single book can be found upon a wooden display, the book has a purple cover and it displays the name “The Crimson Wings” writen in golden silk thread, It tells the story of Rinwaryu Moonflower daughter of Wighaurous(Wighar) Crimsonblade and Luidaena Dawnwing and their lives story.
The stranger reads a few days til reaching the last chapter that reads “Our last adventure”.

The chapter follows Wighaurous the Death Knight, Aighar the Paladin Templar, Thaurdúr the Beast Master and Rinwaryu the Lynxian Druid upon their last expedition within the snowy valleys of Icecrown.
the story tells of Aighars Sacrifice to a massive Frostwyrm, by focusing all his Holy energies and his shield to ultimatly destroy the great wyrm in a Implosion of Holy energies dissolving both Aighar and the Frostwyrm.

The chapter tells of Aighars last words spoken before attacking the wyrm in holy fury was that “The Hammer of the Light has not fallen, it will be brought back in retribution, Do not worry friends I have seen his fall, and i will leave this world without regrets” He raised his shield and in a stream of intense light he rushed into the great Frostwyrm, upon impact the blinding light exploded and they were both gone.

The party found Rinwaryu still alive in the huge imprint of what had been the Frostwyrms left foot, she was coughing blood but urged to go on saying that it would be Aighars wish they continue forth and reach the argent crusades outpost south and seek help of priests.

along the pages forth the adventures make it thru to the Argent Crusades outpost where Thaurdúr hands over the remaining half of Aighars semi-molten titansteel sheild to the crusaders telling of his sacrifice to save the druid that was now under care of the crusades medical officers.

some of the various elves and of crusaders was present when Wighaurious and Rinwaryu performed a symbolic burial of the remaining shield in the grounds of the outpost, it has been noted that when the Death Knight placed the shield in the frozen earth the small patch of soil that had been dug up crackled with holy energy as the remnant energies released from the shield.

Wighaurious left the outpost a couple of days later leaving a torn silk cloth with silver lining at rinwaryus side before departure on feet, the cloth remains was identified as a part of a scarf Luidaena had given Wighaurious when he left for the eastern kingdom.

Rinwaryu decided then to move back to the forests of Darnassus, Thaurdúr had come with her but was lost at sea during a storm in which he rescued his pet “Ichigo” from being hit by debries that knocked him of the boat, a Ranger on board the ship said that the last she saw of the Dwarf was him floating in the high waves with his face down and a piece of the ships debris sticking out of his back.

It is later telled in the chapter that Ichigo followed rinwaryu even after she released her in the wild to live among the wild beasts and came to live in the cottage with Rinwaryu.
last entry in the book is noted as that of several months later when the priestess Itoe came to visit informing that Wighaurious had been confirmed lost in the battle at the Citadel.

the remaining text in the book tells of Rinwaryus days tending to the cottage and the nature in and around it, last entry states “Father, I forgive you with all my heart, the dream will soon come and we shall meet again”

And thus my end of World of Warcraft is here, i have now ended my subscription and left the game.

but, was it all a true or was the book a dream?
time will tell, have I just taken a break or permanently moved on from World of Warcraft, this is the same post i made on The Second Sun an MMORPG Player Associations World of Warcraft Forum to which I announce that i have indeed left it, As mentioned it might be the end but even I can not be sure of that.

So to recap the characters in the lite role play are almost all of my characters though i renamed the char wighar to Wigharious since it somehow felt better to call my Death Knight that, The characters have had their levels adjusted for the little story and are thus to be considered as level 80 in the stories from the Crimson Wings, I was in fact planing to write the whole book but I thought why not be a bit cryptic and let people use their imagination, I may come back to the book at some points writing fan fiction as its called in form of short stories.

But wait the Book itself is a figment of my imagination, it is writen by the lynxian druid Rinwaryu, but who says those are the only stories she has written within it, remember I have only hinted to the ending story of which the book tells, All the stories within are about Rinwaryu and her adventures from the age of her becoming an adult to the last great adventure and her own early demise 10 years after the confimed death of Wigharious the Death Knight.

As you imagine Rinwaryu do you have any story to tell about the light tinted blue skined green haired Nightelf Druid going in your mind?, tell me about it mail it to me and who knows I might post it here on the blog
