So I went on a binge of playing for a few days back when I posted the above note. I died. Then I used my res scroll.. ?? No longer a res scroll. Bummer. Used my nerf scroll to get some xp back and proptly died again. Both times to fire. Like what? Wow. BAD fire. Was not expecting that one. All in all I lost half my XP in just a few days.
Gehh...
This game is too difficult for me. I'm not gonna say it's unbalanced or that the wizes did not work hard enough or listen intently enough or plan well enough . They rock. I'm putting this one squarely on my inabillity to be patient or smart enough to actually gain an appreciable increase in xp to make any inroads on obtaining my HOF level. I swear.. If I ever made one more level I would never care about XP again I would just play for fun and die as often as I pleased. But this last level is nagging me like a bad toothache. I believe I will never obtain my final level for HOF. But I will pop back in from time to time just to play around.
So cya then.
Peace.
