Twas The Night Before Go-Live...

Post » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:07 am

And all through the game

Neither server was stirring

Because Patching is lame

The noobs were all nestled so snug in their beds

While visions of nameplates danced over their heads*

And I in my kerchief, my mudcrab in my mail,

I drifted off hoping to avoid ESO fail.

When all of a sudden, I awoke to such pvssyr,

like Facebook and Twitter all Mashedup together!

The servers were open! No time to get cereal!

I had to get cracking! My main is Imperial!

Away to my game rig, I shuffled in time,

To see everyone queueing in a long winding line

Most important to me? Get the one name

That would make me feel Uber, and not terribly lame

On RP! On raiding! On skyshards for all!

Now shiftkey to dash away, dash away all!

But my hopes they would not soar, down they came crashing,

The name that I wanted was taken. Hopes dashing.

Oh well I thought: I'll find another name not taken.

So if you see me you'll know me as "Stirred-not-shaken".

*Only visions of nameplates, because they aren't in game. Get it together ZOS! We want nameplates!

I'm still waiting for optional chat bubbles.

Poem was epic, though.

TheStormKing, You made me feel inspired. :twirl:

On the twelfth day of ESO Zenimax gave to me...

Twelve keeps for sieging

Eleven caves for looting

Ten racial motifs

Nine hidden skyshards

Eight Divine Aedra

Seven armor pieces

Six crafting skill lines

Five days EA!

Four classes

Three Alliances

Two Rings of Mara

And an Ultimate atop my skill tree

I can keep my mind off of it since I'm going to be busy today. Huzzah! :D

Go to sleep early and wake up at 4:50 am, since EA starts at 5:00 am here.
