Yadda yadda

I haven't posted on this blog since April, but then again, I haven't advertised much or done much of anything in NWN building.

I've been approached for Myth Drannor 2 by a number of people, but my main organizers have been silent due to IRL woes. So, this may not work out - again. I can;t really build a PW solo within the NWN2 engine, it's just not feasible.

I'd say the community is dying out - I posted updates to a highly-used package and discovered that only a few people were really interested in it at all. The downloads are high, but very little voting or feedback. Managed to get 2-3 votes for it, but it's still five votes shy of HOF status.

I'm not tooting my horn on this one, I've had feedback from ENoa, Dragonbane and a number of other highly-respected builders, both from SP modules and from PWs. The package is literally a "cannot do without", as it speeds interior building by about five times.

That it's getting so many downloads (approximately 2000 currently, and even the old package posted separately is up to 70 in just a few weeks) is actually kind of disheartening. Even I don't vote for everything I download, but I do manage to get at least 70% of them voted for.

Alas, it seems that those giving back to the modding community have forsaken the game and very little seems to be occurring with the Vault as opposed to NWN this far out. I'm not sure if another expansion will do the trick, or if they will develop NWN3 (since DA will blow most of what could be done out of the water for a little while).

As for me, I'm still tinkering with WOW, but I've slacked even on that quite a bit. Gaming just doesn't have that intense rush it used to back when NWN was released, and I've been more interested in IRL stuff (like girls and theater and clubbing and whatever else) to really sink time into any projects or playtime.

I guess that happens when you hit 36, but I'm presuming that my gaming days have passed, I am long in the tooth and other explanations.

Of course, my mind could change tomorrow.

Updates

Sorry I've been so remiss in updating my blog. I've lost a lot of "free time" for creation os stuff, so I've decided not to get re-involved with NWN.

I figured I'd blog about the game I am involved with, though - World of Warcraft.



Yes, even I have fallen for this hideous beast of a game. Granted, I'm not quite raider status:



Nor do I play waaaaaay too long. Which I think anyone who has the time to come up with this image does:



I play possibly about 5-10 hours a week, and that even sporadically. Sometimes I read, get sunshine, etc.

So, I thought I'd blog about my time in Warcrac... er, Warcraft, seeing as there are 500 million bloggers out there doing so already.

No, I'm not an individual beautiful snowflake. I'm one of elven million... but I do have some fun doing what I am doing, and if people enjoy reading this stuff - well, more power to ya.



At least I'm not that bad.
