				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did warn you this would happen.<br />
Well, Let me explain what actually happened.<br />
The short answer: I needed a bit of time to play other games.<br />
The long answer: A combination of bad circumstances happened. First, I love PvE, not specifically in WAR, but in general. In war, the only really good pve is in the special dungeons, like Gunbad, and those require groups.<br />
Which leads into the next problem. Only a few of my &#8220;permanent&#8221; group are ever on for very long, or are on when everyone else is.</p>
<p>Thus, to scratch my pve itch, I had to explore some other games.</p>
<p>Those are the main reasons. That and because my main is tethered down until those others get on, cause I&#8217;m the highest level by two.</p>
<p>As for my Zealot&#8230;well, rhyming is hard, and the rp server is only really fun with a guild or other players.</p>
<p>To make up for all this&#8230;screenshots!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Day 2 of roleplaying a zealot:</p>
<p>First off, impromptu rhyming is hard, and I mean really hard.</p>
<p>Second: It&#8217;s a good  idea to start off with more than just a gimick style premise. A history of some sort. It doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated.</p>
<p>For example: Lmeas was born and raised in the mountains. His mother often sang and read poetry to him, wanting him to be a little bit more than just a tribal nut bent on killing things. She wanted him to be a <em>smart</em> tribal nut bent on killing things.</p>
<p>And you see? Suddenly, Lmeas&#8217;s rhyming and career choice make sense. He&#8217;s smarter than your average marauder. And I came up with that in the two minutes it took to write it. That&#8217;s all it takes.</p>
<p>As for my decisions, since I absolutely love to explain my choices, here are some reason</p>
<p>First off, role-playing wise, the Zealot can probably get away with a lot. They&#8217;re crazy, but they&#8217;re magic means they&#8217;re smarter than your average bear, and they look it. So I could, for example, get away with trying to rhyme the majority of the time. And it doesn&#8217;t matter if I do it well, since demonic energies have probably addled his brain beyond recognition.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a certain freedom to it. I get to role-play, and I get to do something I find enjoyable.</p>
<p>On a side note, a friend of mine found this blog, and created a witch elf on the same server. Not only did he give me a bit of a run-around trying to figure out who he was (And I&#8217;m not one to throw around names to what could be strangers, making this harder), but he one-uped me by forming a guild at level 2. I&#8217;m level 5, so this stings. Not only that, but it&#8217;s dark elf only, and I&#8217;m just a measly chaos minion.</p>
<p>You are forgiven, my friend, but you will get a couple seconds of the mean stare. I&#8217;ve been practicing, so you should be afeared.</p>
<p>P.S. I wonder how many webcomics I&#8217;ve outclassed by adding a second content filled update.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I describe the point of this whole shindig, and introduce my newest character to the world, even those unversed in the ways of WAR.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=advon.wordpress.com&#038;blog=6079377&#038;post=3&#038;subd=advon&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, hello there. I&#8217;m James. Nice to meet you!</p>
<p>Since not a single person here knows me, I&#8217;ll give a bit of background.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a player of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, WAR for short, who has an Order side (The good guys) main of an Archmage, aka, the supposedly hybrid healer. There&#8217;s some problems with that, but they&#8217;re at least being sent to the right people to change them.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s neither here nor there.</p>
<p>Well, I decided to create (roll) a different character (aka, an alt) on a different server, Phoenix Throne (Or Pheonix, depending on how they decided to spell it.) For those who don&#8217;t know, that server is what&#8217;s called a Role-playing server. That means no outside stuff. No sports, no politics, no technology. Warhammer is the only real world.</p>
<p>Why do this? For fun. I like to expirement.</p>
<p>Now, without further ado, I introduc to you, Lmeas, the Zealot!</p>
<p>&#8230;due to technical difficulties on my part, no screenshot yet.</p>
<p>In any case, Lmeas is a level 3 Zealot who speaks primarily in rhymes.</p>
<p>What this means to the uneducated: I play a healer/group buffer (Strengthener) on the Destruction (Evil) Side who speaks slowly, since I have him speak only rhymes, such as:</p>
<p>&#8220;Welcome, fellows, to the land of the dead. / I hope that unlike our foes you have more than maggots in your head.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;How empty is this strange cave/I can only hope it does not become my grave.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is good that we have a true foe to fight/ for it is only in combat that we can prove our might.&#8221;</p>
<p>I promise I&#8217;ll get better as time goes on.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for today. Hopefully I&#8217;ll update at least once a week, but at first, it&#8217;s probably going to be every one or two days.</p>
