Leaving in a huff / you can't have my stuff.

I overplayed DDO. Not that I spend much time at it, I've only reached level 20 once and my TR hasn't reached cap yet. I never got my shintao ring, and I never successfuly swam the Crucible.

And it's not like I'm fail-ragequitting. I've got enough mats in my sack to make doubleshard GS, a new set of Dragontouched armor, and some house C trinkets. I have nine bags from the sub that are brimming with brickabrack and I've got more Plat than DDO has numbers.

And yet, I'm not having fun. Not that I blame DDO. I always get soured on the game whenever the festivus thing comes by. And I always get into a blue funk when all my friends leave Orien to play on the preview server. This time it was a double whammy -- Festivus AND U13 preview. All the time I spent banging my head in an empty server caught up with me. I'm burnt out on DDO.

Which is too bad because there's alot of neat stuff happening now. That new f2p adventure pack is live, and there's some huge sales and new items. In particular the "standard" pre-order looks ideal for me. A greater tome of learning for the only character I play regularly. A bunch of new Forgotten Realms content and three of the four Ebberon adventure packs are new to me.

I'm not much of a Druid fan, but I can't turn my nose up at the chance to multiclass. Not super excited about the pets but I'd consider them icing on the cake. The mask looks like a fun cosmetic. Overall, it looks like an attractive deal compared to the price of buying everything seperately.

So rather than exacerbate my DDO burnout further, I'm going to take a breather.

Anyway, it gives me a chance to play through Mass Effect 2.
