We didn’t have enough people show last night to continue on the Lavaspinner’s Lair quests, but Nostalgia’s newest member, Stolig, a 44 Magician, was there and eager to kill something. So I logged back in to my necro, Tsukina, who I haven’t played since we were all hanging around Dulak, and we headed off to the level 40 hot zone, Wakening Lands, to do some armor bashing in the name of Nostalgia.
The good thing about hot zones is that they tell you where to go for your level. The bad thing about hot zones is that they tell you where to go for your level. I’d used the guild portal to Cobalt Scar to get close to Wakening Lands. The easily single-pullable and kiteable drakes were unmolested. There used to be a druid, wizard or other kiter in front of each one, back in the day. I used to quad kite them myself with my druid when I couldn’t find a group (which was often).
But, nobody there. Headed into Skyshrine, nobody there. Into Wakening Lands and — nobody there. Okay, that was strange. Hot zone empty?
Maybe because it’s just an annoying place to hunt. Trees everywhere mean it’s hard to see stuff coming for you. The flying mage monkeys are officially the most annoying mobs in the game. Invisible panthers sneak around. But there are PLENTY of good, save camps.

EQ2: Nostalgia Guild Hall mania!
Since I barely did anything to help with the guild hall, compared with Stargrace, Kasul and Ecor, I feel kinda embarrassed to be the first to blog about it, but there ya go. If you’d been following Twitter yesterday, you’d have seen the drama as Nostalgia worked crafting writs so the guild could reach level … Read more
EQ: Nostalgia enters the everlovin’ PLANE of TIME.
Photoshop stitched together four screenshots to make this, automatically. Pretty neat! No, it’s true. We went to the Plane of Time tonight. Once upon a ‘time’ (sorry), that meant you had completed all the raids in Planes of Power — lessee if I can remember them — Terris Thule & Saryrn, Grummus & Carprin & … Read more
EQ: The Lurkers of Lavaspinner’s Lair & more
Another Friday, another entirely new zone, and we still are ages from seeing more than a fraction of the game. Last week, we started doing the faction quests that open up the main mission arc of the Dragons of Norrath expansion. The first brought us to Stillmoon Temple, deep inside the Broodlands. Last night, though, … Read more
EQ: Stillmoon Temple and the Dragons of Norrath
It was another light night, but we had a cleric, warrior, ranger and enchanter and that was enough to make a group. But where? It had been in the back of my mind that we would eventually start working on the Dragons of Norrath missions. Before you can get the missions, you need to build … Read more
