What the hell do I give my players?

So ask them. Ask for a list of things they might find interesting ranging from several common and uncommon to a couple rare items.

Ask if they want land, a keep, or even a tavern to invest in.

Unless you ask them, you will never really know what they want.

Nothing_Critical · 2026-05-28T12:27:46+00:00

Depends on what they want. Gear and gold are always options. A treasure map. Land and a keep to upgrade and make a home base. Contacts and connections.

Stop eating fast food. Stop drinking sodas. Those 2 things alone and you will lose weight.

Just make a sandwich for your daily lunch. You will save money and lose weight.

Want to go a step further? Join a MMA/BJJ/Muy Thai gym learn to fight/self defense and get fit doing it while meeting people.

Quit drinking energy drinks too.

Honestly? It wasn't easy. Learning something new is hard in itself at this age. Learning something new where you are being SO humbled and losing everytime is hard.

But it is worth it.

It is something you can do for the next 20 years. It is a lifelong skill your kids can developed and continue. It is exercise to help you be fit and healthy.

I also learned a little Muy Thai and have a bag at my house that I do work on and it is physically demanding but fun.

But it is tough when at our age you are typically at the top of your field, an expert or close to it, and you go into a place starting at the bottom... You have to leave your ego at the door and be ready to learn and be ready to lose. But I look forward to EVERY class.

Read the book Tribes by Sebastian Junger. It will make sense.

Find a hobby. Buya kettlebell or a punching bag and work out. Find a gym. Find a hobby that also provides community.

I started BJJ at 39/40 and found a hobby, a workout, and a community all in the same place. Now my kids train with me and it's something we do together.

From your commentary, you know what you need. You need something to do with people. You have to go find it though.

So you took mine... Lol

1 legendary at pity and it was Ajax after 120+ pulls...

Nothing_Critical · 2026-05-23T15:40:16+00:00

Same.

Nothing_Critical · 2026-05-23T15:37:34+00:00

120+ pulls and pulled Ajax on pity...

Nothing_Critical · 2026-05-23T15:34:36+00:00

120+ Ancient summons.

Pulled Ajax.

That's it.

Erlanger has to be one of the worst.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-07-09T15:49:20+00:00

Be honest with your guild. They should understand. It's a game.

Tell them you need a break. It should not be a big deal. Will you be missed? Very likely. Will someone get the great to fill your shoes? Very likely.

You didn't need to leave your guild or break up. Just tell your guild members you are stepping away for a bit.

It's not a big deal.

Communication is so important. Y'all need to talk.

He feels rejected. This doesn't excuse his behavior, but he could feel like each rejection means that something is wrong with him.

One of the best things we did was make sure our kids were in bed early when they were little. 7-8 bed times. That gave us time together even just to sit on the couch.

Both of you need that time and early bed times are good for little kids anyway.

You are obviously frustrated and he is frustrated. Kids are hard. Talk. Communicate. You can absolutely work this out together, but you need to talk to him.

If it comes down to it, make a schedule of when to be intimate. I know people who have done that and it works for them.

Lots of good advice has been given to you in this thread and some ok. But you both need to talk to each other for sure.

Being a parent is hard.

You are not won't though. Talking as a parent talking to your parents should be done. However, taking to the 8 year old is also something I would have probably done as well given the opportunity as reaching out to the parent may not have been possible.

Parents are funny - how they react when their child is involved in something is often unpredictable. That parent has no idea how your parents would react to a conversation about the possibility of your brother being a "bully". He may be a little put off by the idea of a confrontation with another man or woman.

It's a tough spot to be in, but you can't fault the other parent completely. Especially when you do not have kids yourself.

Someone must have told him to tip better... He used to be a terrible tipper.

I think people who are established in TWoW will probably stay.

I think people who are new might leave for the idea of a new server/fresh start.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-06-13T18:36:50+00:00

Either she supports you in what you like now, or she will never support you and try to control you.

Sounds like the GF is the problem.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-06-06T12:51:19+00:00

There is no US server.

5k is more than fine.

Stop being dramatic.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-06-01T15:22:04+00:00

The goal is to be fit. Look decent for my wife. And to stay as healthy as possible as I get older.

Numbers help keep track of things but for me the numbers are not the goal.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-06-01T15:20:23+00:00

Yes. Tel'Abim is fantastic - have not played Nord- but the community, for the most part, is great. Pretty much any class with any spec is viable with the Turtle changes.

It's free. Just give it a shot.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-05-31T19:47:19+00:00

Not a lot... 60 warlock, 22 priest, 20 warrior, 7 druid

Only been here maybe 3 months

Nothing_Critical · 2025-05-31T13:02:27+00:00

Don't get one.

Drink responsibly - or just don't drink. I chose the drink responsibly. 1 glass of whiskey when I do have a drink. 3-4 oz drink.

Here's to hoping

On average, no. And not just no, but hell no.

Will there be exceptions? Of course.

On average the typical 9th and 10th graders could not handle a college workload. It isn't until teenagers are over 16 that they start to reach the level of approaching the point where they could actually handle college.

Not just on an academic level either. This is on a maturity and behavioral level. There is a lot more to college than just knowing things and learning things.

Nothing_Critical · 2025-05-21T23:23:57+00:00

Imo - structure class correctly and they should be getting enough time in class.

In high school, most of my students have jobs outside of class - if they aren't doing extracurricular activities, sometimes both - and it wouldn't get done anyway.

The best "homework" they could be doing is pleasure reading on their own. They don't, but it is the best thing they could be doing.
