I wouldn’t be surprised if he’ll keep on writing somehow somewhere, although not wow-related.<br /><br />@Felipe: oh the name, yeah… Not my brightest moments when I picked that one tbh. I blame my noobishness. I picked it from an atlas, as you’ve read, and it happens that Greek players address me because of that… I don’t know much about Russian names tbh. My prejudices tells me that they’re all called things like “Katinka” and “Babushka”. Yeah, I know, I’m silly.<br /><br />@Firesprit: cheers!<br /><br /> @Krizzlybear: cheers again!

Mind you, I’m drabbling around in a foreign language I don’t quite master… (I’ve even included my nationality in my about page, in the hope to be forgiven for the multitude of errors.)

Then it occurred to me that I think in Europe, landlord or landlady is a reference to someone who owns or runs a bar?<br /><br />Here in the states, it means the person to whom you pay the rent on your apartment. Completely unimportant, but one of the things I love about blogging about WoW is that people from so many countries do it - and I keep learning lots of new phrases!Miss Medicinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722915845184864567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-60456534709097887092010-01-14T22:04:39.547+01:002010-01-14T22:04:39.547+01:00Well I just come for the booze, and hawt gnome chi...Well I just come for the booze, and hawt gnome chicks. <br /><br />I wish Elenia the best of luck, I did like his posts. <br /><br />Larisa I'm sure you'll do fine.

I'm a raider at heart, if not in the game anymore (lack of time, really). But Landscapes of Heart got to be my best WoW article ever. I'll never forget the smile it brought upon my face when I first saw it.<br /><br />Elnia, farewell. Good luck, and don't stop writing such beautiful things, please!<br /><br />BTW, I was reading your blog (I just discovered it a month ago), and I saw how you came to the name "Larísa". It's weird because Larisa is a russian name who became very popular here in Brazil (weird how this things happen, but hey, it's Brazil, we are used to diversity down here ^^). That's one of the reasons I come back here often. =)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667862537919283858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-50612637546447281792010-01-14T14:30:08.386+01:002010-01-14T14:30:08.386+01:00I liked Elnia's post, he appoached wow in a ve...I liked Elnia's post, he appoached wow in a very intellectual way and took it up to other levels in most eloquent ways. his viewpoint was often strong and critical which contrasted well with Larisa's more down-to-earth and positive/cheerful writing on wow.<br /><br />he was definitely a writer and maybe he did indeed pour too much of himself into all of this. i still find it a bit lousy that he would disappear in such an abrupt way without even a proper goodbye to his blog host. somehow not a satisfying way to end things, but oh well. <br />Keep the happy blogging up Larisa, in the end PPI is your baby anyway.Vigorless Fragmentarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-76459655942609241762010-01-14T13:58:29.231+01:002010-01-14T13:58:29.231+01:00/pulls up a pew

When people write about some things that they just cannot shut up about, that is usually when they write their best work.<br />Not when they write in order to get as many readers or followers, or pander to the public with "this is how i trick people on the AH" ect ect.<br />For me the PPI will still be my favorite watering hole, but that doesn't mean that the bartender won't be missed (he always did throw a little extra booze in my drinks when the gnome wasn't looking)Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-2661993432990896852010-01-14T10:31:14.442+01:002010-01-14T10:31:14.442+01:00@Klepsacovic: Cheers Klepsacovic.
