Comments on: Web log 4/27 — the Calm Before the Storm edition http://westkarana.com/index.php/2009/04/27/web-log-427-the-calm-before-the-storm-edition/ A blog about EverQuest, EverQuest II and MMORPGs in general Tue, 01 May 2012 18:43:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tipa http://westkarana.com/index.php/2009/04/27/web-log-427-the-calm-before-the-storm-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-13652 Tipa Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:33:00 +0000 http://westkarana.com/?p=3348#comment-13652 Um, I don't have a busy gaming schedule. I hardly game at all these days so I can write more. Even though I love the genre, I have never been able to shake the feeling that MMOs, aside from their power to connect people, are largely pointless wastes of time. When I die, I don't want it to say "had six 80s on Kirin Tor" on my tombstone. If I am online for more than an hour, I get antsy and have the feeling I should be doing something else, like writing, or doing a comic, things that enrich me as a person, with MMOs as the inspiration for creativity. That's a balance I can be proud of. Um, I don’t have a busy gaming schedule. I hardly game at all these days so I can write more.

I count multiple long posts every day including time consuming graphics creations and these very helpful blog round ups. How on Earth are you managing to fit it all in along with a busy gaming schedule? Is it just my imagination or has your blogging output gone through the roof recently Tipa?
