Clouds thinning by morning

mikailborgFeeling much much better this morning. I have been trying to find an explanation for feeling so lousy last night... less caffeine, lingering crud from the weekend, full moon, etc etc... but I think that there's no special explanation: I just felt bad. This is not satisfying to the logical part of my mind, but all the other possibilities just don't ring true.
I think it helps that I did again wake before the alarm, though I had a bout of chills about 1/2 hour into my morning. I'm hoping that garbage goes away as the weather gets a little warmer.
My WoW backpack has 16 "item slots", each of which holds anything from a rabbit's foot to a 6-foot mage's staff to an armored chestplate. These slots fill up insanely quickly - collecting additional bags ASAP is practically mandatory - so I'm disinclined to believe the "upcoming patch notes" that claim we'll be seeing a "scaling" pack which starts at 10 slots and gets to 24 slots at level 70. 10 slots isn't even enough for a newbie character.
(I love how, in loot-based fantasy gaming, the same pair of armored trousers somehow fit both a 3.5-foot tall gnome male, and an 8.5-foot tall tailed alien female. Imagine how easy clothes shopping would be if all clothing fit the moment you put it on!)
Since I'm WoW-gabbing this morning, here's a great post on the official forums by a player who's compiled a short history of Azeroth, giving players some background for a lot of those quests where something more seems to be going on. WoW lore's pretty darn rich and full, even for a series of 4 video games. It may be no Silmarillion, but that's a plus for some folks.

Date: 2008-01-25 04:55 pm (UTC)I've been frustrated for a few weeks now that the backpack is only 16 slots, when I can make 20 slot bags pretty easily now. I need those 4 extra slots!
I know my daughter's 19 hunter has 3 16 slot bags plus her backpack plus her quiver, and she's always out of space, too.
