I'm Back!

All of my projects are FINALLY complete. My school life has slowed down a lot, at long, long last. And I've gotten a good few worries offa my brain.

I've been dealing with irl drama, though... It kept me from posting as well, even after my projects were done. I had a lot on my mind, y'know?

Anyway, now I'm back! I've missed W101 a lot. I also got 10,000 glorious new crowns to splurge on Zafaria n' stuff.

AND I FINALLY BEAT ZAMUNDA.

After overkilling Shaka Zebu in ONE HIT, using a critical'd Centaur (which I must say, I'm quite proud of--soloing's never been my strong point while using Alia.), I made it to Stone Town.

(Messing around with the free premiun features of Picnik. Lulz.)


But, of course, I was too busy with my projects to even log into W101 as often as I needed! This resulted in me unfortunately running out of things to say.


But, thank KINGSISLE, they came out with the controversial Pack-A-Palooza.

*sigh* Dear Forest Lords. 


It's been a very popular topic among bloggers, hm? Some hate it, some think of it as a fun way to waste time, and, er, crowns.


Hey, I'm not being a hypocrite if you're referring to my past insanity over hoards. Now that I'm serious about Zafaria, I don't wanna waste my valuable, precious crowns on that!


I've seen some things people say about the packs and hoards, and agreed with some. It's got its consequences.


Have any of you ever had Pocky? Ever? Y'know, Japanese stick things with chocolate or strawberry on them?


They're super addicting. Just the other night, going through my "irl drama," I decided that maybe just one or two sticks of Pocky could cheer me up. Psh, I ended up finishing the entire darned box. I thought to myself, "Alright, maybe just one more couldn't hurt." Every time I munched into each one.


It's just like the packs and hoards, I tell ya! When you try once, you just have to keep on trying until you can't anymore. And then, in a worst case scenario, you get nothing of what you were wishing for when you run out of crowns, and go NUTS.


Just a while ago, when a recent hoard came out (I can't remember which, to be honest.), one of my friends was going INSANE over trying to get his hands on just one of the things!

But, of course, I have my own opinions. Some say you shouldn't buy hoards at all, some hoard enthusiasts say you should dive right in.

...I'm going with the sane people here. Maybe it's best to steer clear.


The addictive power of the hoards is amazingly... Powerful! Sure, people with self-control could buy themselves only one, perhaps two or three packs. But, you know, that's probably your best bet of a minimum.


But... BUT. But then you've gotta think about this--the whole PURPOSE of hoards is so that at least SOMEONE can waste their crowns on endless packs! If nobody really did that, nobody at all, why, they'd just take up space in the Crowns shop, sitting there forever.


So just remember. My opinion and my advice is to steer clear of more than a few packs. But a good 1 out of 2 people will probably splurge about 20, 40 bucks worth of crowns on the hoards.


If this world we lived in was entirely sensible, things would get pretty boring, now wouldn't they?

And so, my long-awaited post of return ends here. (Or was this a rant?) It's getting pretty late, after all, and it's a school night.


So, until next week.
