EQ2: Turtle Soup

by

Who will pull first — us or them? We were gathering to kill Cheldrak, when someone noticed that the Direvine Matron, one of the hottest contested bosses in the game, was up, in the same zone we were in, and there was nobody there! Well, except maybe one or two people from Fallen… so, it … Read more

You say you want a Revolution?

by

Well, you know, we all want to change the world.
This morning (being a coward and waiting until few people were on), I left my guild of more than a year on EQ2, Revolution. (I did post on the guild message board and tell the people who were online why I was leaving, so it wasn’t 100% ninja. Maybe 75% ninja.) This is the first time I have left an active guild since I left A Twist of Fate for Crimson Eternity back in, oh, 2002.
I just don’t leave guilds. And now I have. Why?

EQ2: Ganking Q’s on Nagafen

by

naggy.jpgLord of the Rings Online being a bore (but a pretty one) — I didn’t even last through my free month — I was desperate to get some fun back into my online gaming. My 9-year old niece suggested Neopets*, and that was fun for awhile.
My son had made a character on the EQ2 PvP server, Vox… and having a little bit of fun… I thought I’d join him there, made a character, looked at the server list and…

EQ2: Neriak, Old and New

by

Centuries ago, during the Age of Turmoil, the necromancers of the Tier’dal city of Neriak threw their undesirables into the outskirts of the city and shut themselves off from the world. Those undesirables — trolls, ogres, and dark elves deemed insufficiently pure by the Queen — found themselves under assault by brave, courageous, legendary, fabulous, and in all other ways the perfect paragons of pulchritude (thanks, Sanya), Halflings. Having battled the inkies in Nektulos, they invaded Neriak itself, killing and destroying what they could. The embattled Foreign Quarter of Neriak became Fallen Gate, haunted by the spirits of those who died there, betrayed by the Thexians. Now, seizing upon Lucan D’Lere’s apparent disinterest, they have returned from their centuries-long exile, and brought with them a new race, the living personifications of the darkest magics, the Arasai.
They love their Fae cousins. They make great centerpieces at any banquet.
