Asuryan's Flames

Girl IRL is one of a hand full of blogs primarily written from the woman’s perspective. Her latest post, Bucket List, touches on some very fun things, and goals that I personally skimmed over in my race to endgame, but she appears to be a bit more determined to enjoy and complete a few things on her journeys.

One of her more interesting points is:

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have this horrible habit of making friends with players who decide to stop playing or change their play times shortly after I meet them. Because I am fairly certain that my characters don’t have body odor problems and because I know I was perfectly cordial and cooperative with these players, I can only assume it’s a freaky coincidence. Through doing more group content and more oRvR I hope to make nice with at least a few consistent players. I love playing in a duo with Boyfriend, and our friend makes for a fun trio, but it would be nice to have a large group of buddies with whom we can form scenario premades or hit BO objectives/PQs/instances. We may go about completing this entry to the bucket list by joining some of our characters to a larger guild, while leaving an alt in charge of The Devious Morticians, though this hasn’t been discussed at length.

A lot of us take for granted the people we meet in online games, but she seems to be making it a point of finding some new faces to keep playing with. I think that this is one of the key elements of her post, yes talisman crafting is important, but MMO's are about adventures with friends and if you don't have any to run around with, then you are paying to play a single player game.

All in all she has so very good commentary and well worth checking out the other sex’s perspective on a male dominated playing field.
