I was attacked last week by 5 men. It was such a shocking severe attack that I’m writing this from hospital. It even made the national newspapers. (The Sun / The Mirror) I’m officially out of action and the blog is being cared for by Warcraft Econ.
So here I am, in a complete f_cking mess, and its natural to wonder just how important is wow gold compared to life and death. War, rape, starvation?
It’s essential. Play is an essential relaxation, in whichever form you enjoy. Add in the social aspect. I know several disabled gamers whose lives were bleak before Azeroth. Then we have intellectual stimulation. Hand eye coordination. Play is good for you.
There is something very special about wow gold gamers. We refuse to solely follow the prescribed paths of questing, raiding, Pvp or roleplay as our exclusive measurement of success and achievement. We are ambitious, self sufficient, non-conformists. Woah.
A parable.
As a child, you’re told “eat all your dinner, children are starving in Africa”. How does eating all my dinner benefit or hinder them !? The best response is to gratefully nom your dinner, and offer regular help to a charity that can help those hungry. Throwing your dinner away solves nothing.
So my lesson today is enjoy making world of warcraft gold. Treasure what you have. Be grateful for your luck.
Instead of your next cup of coffee, donate a few £ or $ to www.justgiving.com/rapecrisisengland-Wales/donate (charity 286098)
Hopefully I will be out of hospital in a few weeks and giving you new 4.3 guides. Pro-tip: hoard chaos orbs, cheap volatiles, and jc tokens.
No bastards will stop me doing what I love: making wow gold.

I don’t know you. But I love you. I wish you peace and a speedy recovery. I admire that you are being so strong through this ordeal, and hope and pray that the authorities go the extra mile in prosecuting the people that did this to you.
Ignore any negativity and hang in there. The good part of the wow community and Internet-at-large is pulling for you.
*huge hugs*

You’re in my thoughts. As I offered when you first tweeted about being in the hospital, *manyhugs*. I hope you have a swift recovery and those scumbags are brought to justice.
I hadn’t seen this until now because I’m awful at keeping up on my reader. It’s never too late to send your support. I knew something bad had happened but I had no idea… *massive hugs* I really, really hope you recover soon, hun.
Please, pretty please, I am begging you to have hope and the will to live period. Please take your skills from this successful blog and pour your rage, angst, and profound loss of free will into another blog. I believe any thing you write will be read and may save someone else from taking their life after a similar horrible experience. I add my prayers to the long list of others who care about your well being.

Stay strong. Hope those men are brought to justice.
Wow. What happened to you was appalling, but your strength and attitude is both amazing and inspiring.
I wish you the speediest of recoveries. Stay strong.
Sorry its almost impossible to get on internet from hospital, and I don’t have a release date yet.
Thank you for every single kind word, I promise they are gratefully received and healing.
Finally please don’t believe every word you read in the newspapers. You know they have to sensationalise and exaggerate and downright lie in order to sell papers, its just their job. The closest to the truth were BBC1 tv news and oddly this Austrian report

You readers are driving me on to get well soon. Court case is today, specialist consultant for my injuries is on 16th.

Alyzande, still the queen
I was browsing through some old forums I used to read regularly and through some links stumbled into your site. This is my first time visiting and was shocked by this awful event. I wish you a fast recovery. I used to spend some time at JMTC over the year or two (although I’ve not been playing much WoW the past several months) and after reading through the comments below I’m glad that Markco is watching over things during your recovery. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Have Pitchfork and Torch, and will travel.
What has happened is awful beyond words, and I think the few words that can be said, have been. Our thoughts are with you on this, and especially with your family…
Hope you get well soon. In the mean time I’ll make sure to keep checking back and approve comments while you’re away.

Alyzande, I have no idea what I can say that could possibly help in such a shocking situation. My thoughts are with you often, and I am heartened that you have penned such a positive and forward-looking post as this. I wish you a speedy recovery, and a return to normal life.
What does not kill us make us stronger, I am not joking or trying to be funny , I just hope all the best to you, and that you recover and be even stronger and hap-yer them before.
Be well soon and if you need anything just ask.
Sincerely Ricardo
Lets hope the so and so’s get what they deserve, get well very soon GQueen all the best.
Best wishes to you, you’re in my prayers and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
I’m sure everyone is shocked and dismayed that these kinds of attacks could happen. I know we are all wishing you a speedy recovery. Hopefully just knowing how many of your readers and friends care about you will somehow make you feel a little better.
Take care get better.
What is this world coming to? We all (you know who we are) wish you a speedy recovery. If you want to put a posse together, let me know. We’ll find those SOB’s and give them a taste of Texas justice. We love you, say Hi to Brandon.
Major Healz go out to you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong. Love your blog.
Hey Tally,
I know how strong and independent you are. You will move on from this even stronger. You will fight and advocate for yourself they way you have for those dear to you every day. Please remember my r/l skillset and know I’m available to you 24/7.
Much love
As someone whose been through what had just happen to you, I would like to say that’s right. Don’t let anyone or any memory stop you from doing what you love. It can be hard sometimes, but you can pull through it. My thoughts are with you.
I hope your recovery is swift and complete. I also hope that justice is as well. You are in our prayers.
Everybodies prayers and thoughts are with you. We are thinking of you in this troubled time.
May God bless you and keep you safe.
You are a strong women full of strength and life; and nothing is going to beat you.
Your family and friends will always be there for you.
Looking forward too seeing you back here soon.
Very sad news.
I only hope that you recover soon and that those men are brought to justice.
I tried to paste the link you provided but it seems to be broken. You might want to hyperlink it 😉
Thoughts and prayers for a very speedy recovery.
Hang in there Alyzande. The incident was horrible, but losing your mind to the incedent would be even worse.
You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless.
I’ve always enjoyed reading your blog; your writing is humorous, upbeat and always informative. I think what you say about wow is very true – those interested in gold making have essentially invented a new game within wow, with it’s own rules, strategies and communities: and it’s wonderful to read about it from you and others.
I’m afraid I don’t know you, but I was very sorry to hear about what happened to you, and can only wish you a full and speedy recovery.
Oh.. Oh dear!
Hold it together. Only ever passed through your blog once or twice, but even so nobody deserves this!
Hope you recover well, hugs from Azeroth,

When you tweeted me about what happened, I didn’t know how to react other than “OMFG ARE YOU OK!?” I am beside myself that such a terrible thing could happen to someone in the small community known as gold bloggers.
I think that I can speak for everyone when I say that you are in our prayers. I hope that your physical wounds heal quickly and that you are able to leave the hospital soon. Don’t overlook your mental wounds. You’re a remarkably strong woman but nothing can prepare someone for that extreme of an event.
I’ll do anything you want for the site, just say the word. But most importantly, I would like to see you getting better and back to enjoying life.
Stay strong. You are in my prayers.
What a beautiful strength you’ve found.
“Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style. ”

Stay strong! We’ll be praying for you, don’t worry about WoW, just worry about you right now.
Everything I think to say sounds trite after this horrible news. Put me down for angry mob membership. Wishing you a speedy recovery x
So, so sorry… keeping you in my thoughts. Stay strong.
Stay strong xx
You’re in my thoughts.
as i’ve already said rest up everyone that knows you is wishing you well, im sure the hospital is glad were not local so they wouldn’t have so many flowers to deal with. hope the men involved all get whats coming to them according to the news they will in one way or another ( mob justice ftw )
