Intro to Sorceress Zahra
Dredd (uh, or was it Gorny?) suggested I introduce myself to those wondering who I was...
Well... I'm a Sorceress. Actually, my char preference is Sorcs. But my goal is to get one of each hero type through each difficulty level of the game - which is why I'll pop up in all sorts of forums asking questions about all sorts of hero types.
I'm also a junkie for information not really necessary for gameplay, but critical for role-playing the world... like is Kehjistan an Empire? Who lead the Horadrim - a council or one person? What's the difference between the Viz-Jaq'taar and the Khral-Harzhek? What was Jerhyn's father's name? Who originally built the Seven Tombs? Okay, you know what I mean...
As far as me, personally...
Age: 25
Gender: Female (I find it most amusing that even though my moniker is "Sorceress," some people still assume I'm male :xmas8: )
Location: In the mountains in Idaho near Yellowstone - beautiful views, tons of snow... makes me wish I could get out in it.
Realm: I sometimes play USEast under the account name of Zahra Surayya with various chars. I usually stick to SP - I'm a control freak, and since I can't steal Mephisto's mind-control orb or find Sankekur to make me one, playing nicely with others is hard...
Why do I play this game? I don't know. Good way to relieve stress, perhaps? I like accumulating material possessions? My computer is the only real freedom I have left? There are plenty of reasons, I suppose. Including a theory that this game has some sort of code written into it that's supposed to make people addicted - sure seems to have that affect :xmas9:
Oh, yes, I'm the person who has the impossible "Large Charm of Strength" which gives +133 to Str and +5 to Mana. I'll reiterate what happened, to those who don't know the story: I had a Large Charm of Strength with +2 to Str and wanted to mule it. Saved it, forgot about it, was muling again a couple of hours later and saw it. Didn't need it, so transferred it to Stash to chuck it for geld. Upon reentering the game, saw that it had become the mega charm. I swear on all I hold sacred, I never purposefully hacked, touched, or otherwise messed with the charm - I don't even know how to try that. It just... happened. Not knowing the charm I now had was impossible, I started using it - after all, it took care of my char's Str needs up through NM lvl. Then I posted "ATMA Gave Me A Christmas Present" in the Community Forum, and a huge debate broke out about hacking versus using a lucky accident.
I hold that it was a lucky accident, and I don't intend to delete the charm. It's only used on the one char, an SP who will never go MP. As far as my trading here... If such a time comes when I find I need to trade, and the condition is that my charm must go... well, if that's the rule, then it'll go. I'm not a cheater. But I have to admit, if a thousand dollars drops in my lap, I'll glance around to see if anyone's frantically searching, but if they're not... well, I do have bills to pay.
I'm on my computer pretty much 24/7... I deal with an illness which produces excruciating pain all over, as if an industrial mining bulldozer has parked on top of me. No doctor can figure it out yet. I used to love climbing and caving and nature hikes, but I rarely feel well enough to leave the house anymore. So I game, hack demons on my computer, and label the Prime Evils as the source of my illness and get some satisfaction out of slaying them time and again.
I used to write, until the pain made me feel too bad to do so. I gave it up. The the fan fiction site here made me start thinking. I've published one "short" - Raising Cain. I should have another done this upcoming week. I'm also working with several others on the Diablo 2 RP in the Community Forum.
I've found this site to be awesome, the people great. I think I've made myself a little nest here <snuggles down, wraps up in a fur from Harrogath in front of a crackling campfire>.
Cheers! :xmas32:

Might still ask my professors about your symptoms...
