Oh, no, man!! Get your bard out there and play!! So what if you use the
same songs? The fun is in being with friends and helping them (and
yourself!).

Last night I was in a group that was doing the tower in Tae room at Thule.
I used 3 songs all night. The mana song, chains, and anthem. Ok, a couple
times I played with Pixie Strike now that it's fixed, but that was just for
the heck of it. =) When I had to log for the night, I found another mana
bard to replace me (I tried to get a paladin friend of mine in group to
replace me, but the group REFUSED to take a tank... they didn't want a
cleric who came just as I was announcing I was going to have to leave soon
either... they HAD to have a mana bard! I think I spoiled them. =) ). The
other bard was concerned because she didn't want to have to sleep that level
of monster and was overjoyed when I told her she only needed to play 3 songs
and which songs they were.

BTW, if you can join a *GOOD* guild, do it!! I joined Black Moon guild on
Mithaniel Marr just before logging Thursday night. Last night, I thought I
was in heaven! Three invites to join groups within first 15 minutes of
logging in! This is my 3d guild I've been in, and the first time I actually
felt wanted and appreciated! By comparison, in my previous guild, I had 1
invite to join a group in a week, and their guildchat was filled with
gloating over dumping trains on people.

Find yourself a good guild and join it!! If it turns out bad, just dump
them and find another. Because when you find that really good guild, like
I've found BM, your enjoyment of the game will increase tremendously.

My thanks to Shada for inviting me into this wonderful guild!

A very happy
