The end has come

Was in Luxembourg for Jimmy’s 60th birthday at the weekend and came back to carnage in FWE. From what I can make out Nexuss wanted Loctite out of the guild so he left and took with him all the raiders. This includes Ynys, Revenbo, Nagar, Noxius, Voxon, Korut aswell as the usual Loctite gang of Smarties and DPP. There is less than skin and bones left, the forum is dead, the guild had 6-7 people online last night and there is certainly no opportunity to raid.

As it turns out, I had cancelled my subscription last week with the intention of stopping till Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK). Fortunately I had got my T5 shoulders and head the week before so I will go into the expansion with a matching set of armour even if it is T5 not T6. I have mixed feeling about the whole thing, having moved from Dublin to Cork the guild was a place to meet and talk with people that I knew, a place of continuity. Now it has gone and I felt bad about it. On the other hand it neatly allows me to play Eve without feeling like I have left the team down. So I logged onto WOW last night, whispered a few people then went and logged into Eve where I was allowed to loot a level 4 mission (one piece sold for 2.5million!) and finished the evening about +10million on where I had started and I haven’t finished selling the loot.

The corporation will build me a Mymiddion if I get the materials required together. I suspect this involved going to Dodixie, buying an industrial to move stuff and then shipping it all to the corporation hanger. A straight buy for this ship would be 30ish million before fitting it out (though I am sure the corp hanger is full of stuff that will help) with another 10million on insurance. A Mymiddion should certainly get me into the level 3 missions, all I have to do is learn Spaceship Command, Gallente Frigate to L4 and Battle-cruiser to as high as possible.

So as one thing shuts down another opens up! The king is dead, long live the king.
