The good, the bad and the ugly

Unread post by Ghostred »

I have been camping Jadefang since Friday night 3/16. I turned on a good movie Friday night and just plopped myself down dead center in Jade's cave and waited. And waited. Midnight came around and I went to bed. Saturday, after doing a few chores, I turned on the tennis tourney in Indian Wells, logged into WoW and waited, and waited, and waited some more. An occasional hunter came by, saw me camping, and left. A Allie hunter stopped by for about a half hour, and placed one of Ricket's bombs under my bum. Bang, I just sat there as I watched her fly across the room into the back wall. She didn't move far enough away. The bomb had no effect on me at all (whew!). Later a mage logged in took a look around and logged out. 12 hours later I decided I needed to do something a bit more creative and logged off.

Sunday was much the same. That hunter came back and tried to blow me up again, but I just sat quietly. Every time time AFK came up, I moved a bit to stretch my legs and bring me back. Another 12 hours and nothing. Time to prepare for work on Monday.

Monday night I only had a couple of hours to log on, but I did and sat patiently for that beautiful green shale spider, but she was still playing elusive. Ah well, I can catch up on bad TV while waiting for a spawn. It had to happen sometime!

I took Tuesday off of work to do my taxes and go to the dentist for a cleaning. I knew maintenance would have the servers down until around 11:00 am my time. Taxes took a bit longer than I expected and I needed to get ready for the dentist. But I had about 15 minutes before I had to leave. Should I log in and see if Jade was there? It was around 1:00 in the afternoon and I knew most of the kiddies would be at school, and maybe the not so kiddies would be at work. So log in I did and low and behold, there she was, right in front of me. Bingo, drop an ice trap, click her, click tame and whoo hoo, Jadefang is now mine.

But my story does not end quite yet.

Off to the dentist I go for my cleaning, knowing I had the rest of the afternoon off to play with my new little pet. I get to the dentist, no one is waiting, I'm taken right in, and I want the cleaning over with so I can get home. Well, things just never seem to go the way we plan them, do they? Right after the cleaning the tech decides to have the dentist look at my mouth. Hmmm. Dr. Monica comes in, takes a look and says, "That wisdom tooth is pretty loose. It needs to come out."

Home I arrive, replacing those gauze bandages every 10 minutes and popping pain pills. I really didn't have much pain, but I didn't want to take the chance on having pain later, so I did preventative pain relief.

Living happily with a still numb mouth, I decided to log in to the game and go off to the basin and buy another Oracle egg. I'm still looking for that mount. I've just entered SB when whammo NPC scanner goes off and there's King Krush.

I'm not really sure if I want him but decided to follow him a bit on my flying mount. I decide what the heck, go for it. I dismount, dismiss my Jade, and bam, a rhino decides to attack me. That rhino wasn't too hard to take down without a pet and only took a few seconds. I turned around to start the tame and I froze. There are 2 others killing Krush. No, I want him but at that moment he falls to the ground, dead. I moused over the offending villains only to find they were 2 Nessingwary NPCs. The game killed my tame. As Krush's body despawned in front of my eyes, I wanted to cry. And all I can think is The Game Killed My Tame.

But I do have my new Jadefang to make me happy. And she and her baby Jade decided to "dance" in unison, lol.

The game killed your tame.. omg D: -comforts-

lol your patience is quite amazing, i have a hard time sitting in my char and i cant stand doing anything except watching tv or drawing while i babysit the computer in hopes the pet will spawn-- all the while freaking out whenever i see someone fly by or taunt me or sit down/fool around in the same general area as the pets spawn point xP

Jadefang is a very quiet, patient girl ive found, when i found her, i was actually in the shower since i didnt wait for my game to load before i went in and i didnt realize it but speakers were off so i didnt hear _NPCScan but when i returned she was sitting in her humungous glory waving back and forth beside my char ^.^ She looks suuuper adorable next to you and her baby :D The waiting definitely paid off for you! (Last minute log-ins ftw!) Congrats :D

Thank you for your kind words. :)

I've never camped like that before, and I don't think I will ever again. But I love tennis and it was a way to pass the time last weekend.

I do have the white devilsaur from Ungoro in my stable named "Iamsaury" (for killing you), so I can find a small bit of consolation in that.
