Ugh! I'm one of those people who find this stuff to be annoying. I mean, if
you're doing it on /say or /group that's fine, but IMO (nothing humble about
it) it is obnoxious to broadcast this stuff and revel in the complaints.
But in your favor, at least you're doing it on ooc where I can turn this
off. :-P I really hate when people do this stuff on shout, which is
necessary for train updates. *Windleaf ducks the pie thrown by Papa*

I've gone through this type of depression before. But once I got DDD at
level 18, I switched to all instruments for soloing and had an absolute
blast. Also, for me, nothing gets me back into the game like shopping.
Getting a new weapon or piece of armor always gets me going, and once you
hit level 20, you can start hunting gargoyles on Spectre island in OOT with
a partner. At level 23 you can start soloing them with your all instrument
attack and earn enough money to seriously upgrade your weaps.

I've been waiting for this for a few years and will be shocked when Blizzard
finally does release this. It's gotten to the point where I'm pretty
non-chalant about it. I was real excited for this to be released early last
year. Let's see if they do indeed release it as expected.
