It's a Hard Life, My Brothers

One of the great features of "Star Wars Galaxies" is the Guild. It's a great way to always have friends on hand to play with since many of the adventures cannot be done individually. A guild has it's own private chat channel, too, so it's easy to have get-togethers.

And we trade collection items and give free buffs and save loot. And we're just brimming with free advice!

I was ready to quit playing because of computer problems, but two of the guys convinced me to call Dell Customer Support and they fixed my laptop so I can keep playing! Woot!

Two of the hot pilots taught me to fly so I'm not afraid of space missions anymore.

So, last Saturday night my guild mates decided to run the Death Watch Bunker, and invited me along. "Let the Jedi take point," the leader said, and I followed "D", a more experienced player, along and attacked whatever he attacked.

All went well for a while, it was great fun, killing battle droids and Death Watch guards, although it's a good thing there's no friendly fire, because all of us letting loose in a tight hallway would certainly have created some. One guy had a flamethrower... lol

We reached the mine level without losing anyone, but halfway through the mine "D" went around a stone pillar to entice a super battle droid out of hiding.... And I charged ahead, around the pillar and found FOUR super battle druids, and they all attacked at once! To sum up, everyone in the group was killed, and it was all my fault!

Were they mad? Well, I think "astonished" would be a better description. "D" kept saying, "She just ran over there!!!!" But they other guys were laughing. "Sorry," I said sheepishly.

Our Medic was dead, so we all had to clone. But we went back and finished the mission, with me staying safely behind "D" the rest of the time.

So... on Sunday night they went off on a mission that I couldn't go on (I hadn't done the quest yet) and they came back with a Jedi Master Cloak for me!

For the good of the guild, of course, it allows me to wear my statted clothing, that another guild mate made for me, and be a better fighter.

But I think they like me.

LOL
