Pet name generator on the way!

17-Jun-08

Update: The Pet-o-licious Namerator is now here!

I’ve been playing too much WoW since I finished school and now I’m feeling a little burnt out. So it’s time to take a step back for a while and focus on other things. Namely, the pet name generator that I’ve been talking about.

The Flash itself is all done, considering that all I really had to do was to copy and paste from the PANDA name generator 🙂 The biggest part will be getting all the names and putting them into categories. I have two different ideas for this:

  1. A silly and a serious category for each pet family. It may be hard to come up with names for certain categories (nether rays anyone?) and this would also result in a total of 46 categories. However, this would make deciding a name much easier for the visitor and is similar to the way PANDA is set up.
  2. Categories based on the name’s background. Some of the categories would be Chinese names, Japanese names, Aztec names, Greek names, fantasy names, and silly names. This way would probably be easier for me and there would be less categories but I’m not sure if this is what people want.

So…I leave the decision up to you, the people who visit my site! Through this handy little poll below, you can vote as to which one you like. Or if you have a better idea, choose the “Something Else!” option and post your idea in the comments. Comments and questions are also welcome.

There are some things money can’t buy

13-Jun-08

Repair bills to run Tkasha to Darkshore, drown her, and get on the boat to Azuremyst…1 silver 96 copper

Arrows to kill the Blood Elf Bandit 6 times…2 silver 15 copper

Time spent running around Azuremyst killing the bugger until he dropped this…1 hour

Tkasha wearing an item that is selling for 100 gold on the AH…priceless

There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s Faeldray’s perseverance.

WTS “like new” guild

9-Jun-08

First, some back story. I was playing Tkasha in Undercity when I received a whisper asking if I would sign a new guild charter. Tkasha is not in a guild and I don’t plan on her being in one, but I decided to be nice and sign it for him. I assumed he was just asking people, not expecting them to stay so I could /gquit later if I wanted to. He’s in Orgrimmar so I tell him I’ll catch the first zeppelin back. I get there, sign the charter, and he walks off without so much as a thank you. Eh…oh well, I’m not too put off by it. A couple minutes later, the guild is formed. I swear the guild is five minutes old when it all starts…

So it seems that my assumption was incorrect. The GM, seen here as “P”, thought that if he invited random strangers into a guild, we’d start being buddies immediately…or something. I responded to him only because I felt bad that no one else was talking to him. I did not however feel sorry enough for him to give him 10g, even though Wolfrider had given Tkasha a good bit of gold. I’d also like to point out that “P” was level 62 at this time. If you cannot farm 10g at level 62, something is very very wrong.

Two minutes later, this happens… More…
