I wanted to share with everyone an experience i recently had on WOD.
Last week one of my chars (Brenna Garrick) was hunting in Famine. She was killed and possibly looted. There was some confusion and several people ended up looting her plus the mob.
Eventhough a hurried escape was made Brenna thought she had only lost a pair of dexterity earrings. Not playing her for a few days i later realized that her Tempered Short Pants of Magery were missing.
Everyone was asked, who was there that day, to search through their packs just in case it had been overlooked.
No such luck.
Saturday night Kirsten, Scott, Edward, Azaron and myself went back to Famine to see if they could be found. We killed and looted all of Famine, which is not an easy task these days, to no avail.
I was a little bummed. I havent had those pants but a month or so and i had spent almost all my money on them.
Sunday morning as i signed on i was greeted at the bank by my friends from the night before. They gathered together and presented me with a backpack.
In the pack was a book that had a list of names who had donated something. 5000 ingots were in the bag, as well as a Benson oil.
I couldnt believe my eyes as they started welling up with tears. I had been worried about my prized possession and here were my friends gathered around me trying to make me feel better. At first i felt a little ashamed to have worried about such a trivial thing as a buff. When what was important was the friendships i have made here and they were proving to me i still had that in abundance.
Who needed tempered Magery buffs when you had friends like these beside you to make you feel safe..
People leave this shard for some pretty silly reasons sometimes. I, for one, know what WOD is all about.
WOD is a family shard. Not just for your whole family, but to become part of theirs.
Here is the list of names:
Scott Myr
Edward Tristan
Kirsten Darkstar
Taiba Skyfire
Aimee Duklain
Azaron
Orion Michaels
Andy Van Gothe

Thank you, my friends, for cheering me up and making me feel loved.
