MSTU 5510.005

Week 9: After Spring Break

The pressure was too much for Nick... he bought the game and quickly got up to our level. In fact, for a while, he surpassed it, which was shocking and upsetting. Now, however, as if the game universe knew of this, Paul has been playing a lot less than usual. That leaves Nick to do as much as we can to bring him up to speed (although he was a high level, he didn't complete a lot of the quests Paul and I did).

So Nick and I have been playing, often sending mail to Paul (you can send mail to other characters in the game), letting him know what we're up to. Unfortunately, we've surpassed him, and now are trying our best not to get too far ahead of him. This was all blown to shit today, though, where I go on JUST to complete this SIMPLE quest that Nick had already done... but then that quest turned into another quest... that turned into another quest. I mean...

Remember that robot I believe I spoke about a few weeks back? Well, I was chilling near it when I saw these two similiar-level characters. I asked them if they were doing that specific quest, they were, so I joined to help them fight the robot. And we won. So... there was one elite quest down that I didn't think would happen. I actually then ran into the same group two missions down, and picked up with them to complete another difficult quest.

So they are now on my friends list.

Nick is now in VA as of today, so he'll won't be able to play, and I think that playing a million hours on Sunday morning may have drained me for the rest of the day. After all... I do have other classes.
