So...

Life has been busy! Between raiding with my guild, and grinding on Earth, I've had very little time to update my blog, but I am still alive, and I haven't cancelled my Earth subscription!

There's so much I wish I could tell you about my recent journeys on Earth, but a confidentiality agreement restricts me from telling you the most interesting bits. Suffice it to say, the game has been more challenging recently!

I am amazed how many people refuse the in-game census, despite the fact that it's written into the EULA. Lots of people wonder why they can't be counted automatically... but the Nether is a big place. It's too easy for things to go unnoticed without making an effort to get things done right.

So far I've been cussed at, had doors slammed in my face, bit by bugs, and been attacked by bees and dogs. All in a days work. :)

This work should last another couple weeks, but until then I need to start looking for my next guild. Hopefully this time it will be one more permanent. Only time will tell....

Enumerator, IRL

So, I graduated from my class on Earth. Been too busy to post about it. Had some really crazy stuff happening! Had to visit a slum area, most of the trailers there had been abandoned... and the ones that weren't should have been! There were feral dogs running around that had a bloodlust buff, and struck for +45 rabies. Since I don't have any rabies resistant gear I had to be careful, I made it out without seeing them though.

I'm going to need to do some detective work, as it seems a large portion of my addresses are either abandoned or do not exist. I never would have guessed some of these places would exist! One place had no door, it didn't look inhabitable at all, but player owned non-combat pets were running all over the place. He had quite a collection of chickens!
