...and most likely, you will not know what the fuck I'm going on about. Let me explain. While I was beavering away in trendy warcraft, I had no idea there were other, more "underground" mmorpgs. One of these little gems is called Chronicles of Istaria.
Friends of mine had already shown it to me from time to time, and i had looked at it like a man on a date with, say, a really hot chick, being asked whether I fancied a shag with Susan Boyle. I was like: "cool story bro but I'll stick with my hawt bitch kk?"
But ofcourse, I had to dump my hot piece of mmo-ass. She was too demanding, we know all about that. And we all know by now, and as well, that mister 4701 needs some sort of online fix that involves a mix of stats, painstakingly easy combat and lots of pointless bits of gear.
And well, i hadn't trialed Istaria before since the devs hadn't bothered to support Vista (when it comes to that, I wish NO company had bothered with that, but that's another story). But as I dug through my random sign-up/game related spam email account, I discovered a newsletter proudly proclaiming (D&D world man, these guys don't say shit, they proclaim like fo'shizzle) VISTA SUPPORT.
So there I am, in the beautiful world of Istaria. Well beautiful it may be, but graphically enchanting it ain't. It's like they took the first Neverwinter Nights engine and brutally hammered it into an mmorpg shaped mold. But it charms, somehow. I like it. It's underground, there is not much population and crafting is as important as combat. In fact, it's so important that you can haz an adventurer level AND a crafting level.
And you can multiclass. And you can multicraftschool. And there is no Arthas. And no Varian Wrynn. Which is good, because Varian Wrynn is a racist motherfucking pig that should be camped by Horde raids 24/7.
Anyway, more next time. I know it's a bit ranty but it beats lyrical copypasta imnsfho.
