Soo I finally got Age of Conan installed and patched, and picked Priest and went through the early quests, killing crocodiles, and evil pirate dudes, finally getting to Tortage. Well it was going okay and I got this quest to kill a few level 5 thugs in a back alley in town. No problem, I figured. I stand waay back, and pull one with a spell and like 2 others come running from like 100 feet away also and proceed to kill me. Probably a fluke, I thought. But it happens again, and again, and again. Essentially, it takes me like 10-12 deaths to kill three pirates that I need for a quest. I never had that problem in other MMOs. Needless to say, its a big turnoff, so I havent played since.

In other news, Ive been fooling around with the Spore Creature Creator Trial, and for those of you that have used it, I know what you've been thinking, "what would Alli make??". Well, stop wondering, cause I have pics! None of the stuff Ive created has been too freaky yet.

This was my first creation, some kind of reptilian thing. Note the webbed feet for easy water travel.

This was my second creation. Check out the lizard like eyes, lobster claws and hooves for feet. He also has a spiked tail for anything that wants to try a backstab.

This was my last creature. I think I saw something like this in, "Jurassic Park: The Musical". Highlights include suction cup feet, large eyes, rows of spikes and a line of shiny scales down its back.
