The Pink Necromancer and Other Stuff

Recently, I Amanda PixieWhisper, grandmaster necromancer, was dared to dye my lovely malistaire robe and the rest of my outfit entirely pink. Who dared me? I'll give you one guess - trust me its an easy one. That's right, good old DragonBlade. As the picture above shows, I took the dare. I even equipped my sparkly pink sword to match lol. However, I refuse to stuff Jasper into my backpack - he is my status symbol and when people see the all pink, at least they also see Jasper and recognize! I refuse to bring the unicorn out lol. So, tell me, am I the first pink necromancer? Seems a little girly for the goddess of death, but I actually think I like it. So there ya go - I've gone pink.

On another note, I am incredibly frustrated. Maybe its all of this combined with the fact that I've had more than my share of disappointments lately. I've attained my level, my gear, my wraith. I still have lots of quests to do to complete the game this second time around, but I am struggling with even bothering to do them. What is the point (beyond being a perfectionist that can't stand to leave things unfinished) when I no longer earn xp and have no chance at advancing? No new levels, no new spells. And to top it, I've never been one for questing alone. Blah! I am sure I am not the only one frustrated with the fact that Grizzleheim did not fulfill these expectations. Now, dont' get me wrong, I simply adore Grizzleheim! The ambiance, the atmosphere, everywhere you look is just cool! I could just stand there and enjoy Grizzleheim for a long time. I look at the wolves and visions of the movie Underworld come to me lol. Visually, it was very well done. There are some nice new features. The teleport stones rock (ha ha). I was disappointed that Grizzleheim did not continue at the level 50 point coming in after DragonSpyre. And as far as gameplay goes, I was disappointed. I am SO glad I got to battle the ravens and Jotun before they made them easier. I can understand weakening Malistaire back down, but I wish they'd left the rest alone. The Oni battle was epic! It was nice to have a challenge, especially one that challenged an entire team. But honestly, grandmasters being able to finish the new world in a day or two? Disappointing. C'est la vie - oh well. And so the pink goddess of death signs off - see ya around the spiral.

  3. I found a MISTAKE! You said that you were dared to dye your robes and the rest ENTIRELY pink. I only dared you to dye them BLACK, with PINK TRIM! *gasp* Amanda made a mistake!

  4. All right dragon master, you've made your point. Even the countess makes a typo now and then. Lucky I have you here to point them all out. You are correct, black with pink trim. You are, indeed, responsible for my new look.

  6. Stingite, I'm with you. Why can't we boys dye our clothes pink? That is so not right. xD
