Diablo III PvP Update
Latest news from Blizzard on PvP. Personally, i have already stopped playing D3 cos i have already beat the game on inferno mode (while carrying Andy too), and there's really nothing much to do except running the same place over n over again to find marginally better loot. I'm not a pvp fan anyway, so the update will not affect me much.

Finding it quite dumb to implement dueling to be honest, as the multiplayer games in D3 are not like game rooms, so u can't really create a game with a provocative title like "Come challenge my 100k dps barb" and attract people into your game to fight u. Rather, u will create a game and hope some random joins in, then u turn aggro and kill him, or u challenge him to a duel and beat him anyway (cos u are awesome and most likely randoms are not going to be awesome). An analogy will be like me shooting alone in the basketball court, and waiting for some random kid to join me. Then i will challenge him 1v1 and beat him, and yet still feel not that awesome. Ideally, dueling should be such that i'm creating a "Bet u can't beat Chang in 1v1" basketball event, and all the pros come and challenge. Right now the D3 dueling system is just weird.

Aria Forsaken World

Anyway, i'm back on Forsaken World again, but this time playing on a private server. The difference between retail (orginal FW) and Aria? x500 Quest EXP, x1000 Monster EXP, x500 Drop rate and free leaves daily (cash shop currency). In 1 week, i'm max level, 99/100 mastery, level 2 wings going to 3, full 12/12 refined gear and lvl 50 in soul power. In comparison to my retail char, i played for 1 year and i'm max level, 45/100 mastery, level 1 wings nowhere going to 2, 9/12 refined gear and lvl 40 soul power. Forsaken world is a pay for power kind of game, so if u don't pay it's going to take a lot of time and effort to get to where i am in Aria. It's cool to see how powerful my char can get if she has maxed out everything, and so far i see, she is packing quite a major punch. Of course in Aria, they have their own cash shop, and it really allows one to go over top in terms of power. But that's for pvp, and since i don't pvp, the base Aria gameplay is sufficient for me to derp around in dungeons instead of worrying of dying everytime when playing retail.

Q: Should boys be boys? Or am I paranoid?

I wonder where to draw the line between being tough/manly/brave. Is it more important to be brave enough to try the super high water slide? Or is it more important to be brave enough to stand up for yourself/other people? What's defined by manliness anyway? I read Art of Manliness and i still can't figure it out. By some definitions, i might not be manly. I have a general fear of heights and big flying insects, but when push comes to shove i will still do it, like in NS.
