As many of you are aware, I am heading back to school in January.  I have known for a while now, that I will probably have to quit playing wow, or at the very least cut back or eliminate raiding.  I discussed this with Garreth about a month ago, and he suggested that I continue playing until that time came.

3.3 has launched.  Kitten Brigade is looking for solid and CONSISTENT raiders.  I have already decided that I won't be raiding come January, but I intended to raid until then.  With 3.3, I feel this may be the best time to take my leave.  I won't be sponging emblems or loot from the raid, and you can gear up someone who would be able to continue raiding when January comes around. 

I am not abandoning you all, I will still be around if there is no one to fill my shoes.  Know that my presense won't last for long, and that I will be gone with the passing of the new year, so make your decisions appropriately for the next few weeks.

After school is over, I should be ready to raid again but I don't expect a spot.

-------------------------------------

To Kwon and Minorthreat:  In regards to our 3s team, I will likely keep my account active.  Please note, that I would not be able to do arenas more than 3 hours total PER WEEK.  I'm trying to make sure I don't screw this school thing up, but I don't want to leave you in the lurch.  We totaly destroy folks, its fun, and isn't time consuming.  I hope 3 hours a week is enough for you, otherwise you might want to replace me here as well.

If any of you have questions, or you want clarification on something, feel free to ask me in game or on vent I don't mind repeating myself too many times.  :P

Where did Dragon go?

That might be the quesiton on a least a coupla peoples mind since Wednesday. And here I am finally with an answer although unfortunately not a timeframe for returning.

On Wednesday after arriving home from Campus I started to play some WAR (picked up the game last weekend) and then did my usual log off an hour before Salmon started so that I could get ready for raid.

Went ahead, logged in as usual PW and all and I get. That is not a valid PW for the account.

Scratching my head, I put it in again. In fact, I proceded to put in my Password for oh a good 5 minutes attempting to log in. Being very sure by the end of it to hit every character exactly. So I figure, oh well maybe something is just wrong with the log in currently I will try blizzard's website. Nope can't log in there either.

So I am like, ok, I'll just have them reset my PW, send me the e-mail and I'll be back up and running.

Then I get sent to the battle.net site. Finally, I get around to the PW reset e-mail screen and it says that it is sent and should be there shortly.

So I open up Outlook and wait patiently, looking at all my other lovely blizzard e-mails I have gotten in the past.

15 Mintues passes still without an e-mail. I do the e-mail reset thingy again thinking something got effed up. No dice. I keep waiting, letting people know in vent that I prolly wont be there for raid that night.

Finally after an hour waiting impatiently for the e-mail. I give up, deciding to call blizzard the following day.

I call blizzard as soon as I get home on Thursday and the rep says that he can't see Battle.net having sent me any PW reset e-mails. But he tells me he will send me one. give it 15 minutes and if it hasn't arrived in an hour to send him an e-mail so he can try looking at the issue before he leaves for the day.

STILL no dice, although I did get a response back from him. And he told me that another reset e-mail should be coming right after his reply. E-mail never arrives.

Friday - I get 2 customer service e-mails from blizzard but still no PW reset e-mail. Temper is beginning to rise at this point since my subscription had just renewed on the 11th. I send another e-mail to my support guy telling him I still haven't gotten the e-mail to fix my crap.

Saturday - I sent in an e-mail to their support people overall asking them if they have some other way I can change my PW or an ability where I can change my e-mail. No response back yet obviously as they work hard during the week and thus get weekends off. (Not berating them for that)

So long story short. I can't log in period. Not with the old PW and obviously not with a reset PW. WIth any luck this will be fixed tomorrow during the day , but I am growing cynical about it.

Anyway, if you would like to contact me in some way. You can find me on AIM: MCorpsParrothead or Yahoo: HurrikanEagle@yahoo.com

P.S. WAR isn't a bad game at all for the pvp minded, but it's pve content is lacking horribly compared to WoW. However one of the first mods I DLed for WAR once I got it installed. Grid for WAR! Known as Square.

As the subject says, this is a horde city raid (maybe).  Not sure what city or how many, but I'd like to kill a few Horde leaders, wouldn't you?

Anyone's welcome so long as you're 80.
