Apologies and an update

I know it’s been a while since I made a post.
I blame this thing called ‘Real Life’. It’s this new MMO that’s been kicking my ass lately, and has been driving me insane, to boot. I’ve also been working rather hard on some stuff for role-play on a MUSH I’m at.

Anyway, I rolled a Paladin a while ago named Kheymish. Once again, Armory is down, so I can’t link to him there. Alas and alack. Blood Elf Paladin, whom I affectionately call my ‘gay elf’. Because, let’s face it. He’s an elf. One of his flirts is ‘Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?’. He pirouettes when he jumps. He’s a gay elf. Like a gay fish, only no fish sticks.

I’ve never played a Pally before, so I’m having a hard time learning, but I made it to 40 last night, and got my ‘Death Unicorn’ and my Pink Chocobo Hawkstrider. Because I love the birds more than the horses, man, seriously, though I’m thinking of hitting up Undercity rep for skeletal horses instead of the pally steeds.

On the note of Paladins, I found a nice add-on for them that I want to let everyone else know about:
Sealbar – It creates a bar, not unlike zhunter does, only this action bar floats the Paladin’s seals, freeing up space on the actual action bars for other things.

Another add-on I’ve stuck in my listings is:
Alice’s Anti-Duel – It auto-cancels any duel not from someone in your group or guild. This is VERY helpful for places like Goldshire. Or when playing as my paladin, any place that is around higher level players.

Why do I dislike dueling? I just do. It gets in the way of (my) having fun, and a lot of times if you decline someone once they go around hating you for not fighting them even if you aren’t there for fighting. Before you say it, no, /DND doesn’t work. Believe me, if it did, I’d be using that. It only seems to work for people pestering me to DPS for them in PUGs at instances. This has been happening since I hit 35 on my paladin. People in the Eastern Kingdoms will /tell me to come help them in SM when I’m running around in Dustwallow (in Kalimdor) or, like today, /tell me when I’m hitting Bloodscale Pirates in Stranglethorn Vale (EK) to come DPS for them in Razorfen Downs (Kalimdor). This makes no real sense to me. If I want to run an instance, I’ll just use the LFG option, since that is what it’s there for.

I’ve found that posting auctions on Fridays gets me more attention. Possibly because these are the days most people are playing because of school, work, etc. So on my Alliance side (since I have been concentrating on Horde Side for a while) I do a couple of dailies, then mine a little ore, and send that to the AH on Friday, relist it on Sunday if it doesn’t sell, and then pick it all back up again to sell again on Friday the next week.
