AoC

I got an email the other day from my on BKB guild. It appears that they are going to reform in AoC. Now I have talked about BKB before and while they are a great group of players I really hadn’t looked thought about playing AoC. Some of my real life friends will also be picking up AoC and playing with BKB again. Now I never really looked at the game before. I was happy in Vanguard and I am happy in EQ II. RnH has been a great guild to be in with a lot of great players. I do have to say thanks to

• Keen and Graev’s

• Random Battle

• PotShot

While I am sure lots of people will be getting AoC just by looking at the preorder numbers. I have come to the conclusion that the game isn’t for me. Not that I think it is a bad game or anything. But I am just not into the whole PvP thing. Doest that mean I will never play not at all. If for some reason I start to look for something else to play and BKB is still active in AoC then that will be one of the first things I look at.

I hope all the best to my old BKB brothers in AoC. I am sure they will have a premium player city and take many battle keeps.

What a pet

Just another fun pic this week. This is one big Owl Bear.

Just some pics today

First off is a very strange window that popped up on my yesterday.

 

Now my favorite LoN loot card ever.

Grats Grats Grats

 

Congratulations I see it all the time in guild chat. Ding level 23 grats, ding AA point number 36 grats, Congratulations you just did the same rush order for the 20^th time in a row. I wounder has the congratulations just gone overboard. Now I am as excited as everyone else is to see some one ding a level or do a work order. The more people ding the closer we all get to doing the higher end raids. More work orders means more statues for the guild and the closer we get to being a level 80 guild.

But really do I need to say grats in guild chat every time. I understand a new player being very excited about seeing lots of fast levels. But I really don’t think Everquest II has a lot of new players coming to the game. I figure most low level toons are alts of people with high level toons on Guk or on another server. They have all been through the process before and are just playing something different.  So I have decided for myself to just give a blanket shout to everyone in the guild when I log to say Congratulations for all the hard work everyone did that day.

I Am A

Think you PotShot

I Am A: Lawful Good Human Paladin (4th Level)

Ability Scores:

Strength-11

Dexterity-12

Constitution-15

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-13

Charisma-12

Alignment:
Lawful Good A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment because it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Paladins take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the paladin, a personal test an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to learn tactics, and to find ways to do good. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding off harm, protecting from disease, healing, and guarding against fear. The paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing wounds or curing diseases, and also use it to destroy evil. Experienced paladins can smite evil foes and turn away undead. A paladin’s Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast. Many of the paladin’s special abilities also benefit from a high Charisma score.

It has been a while

Wow where has all the time gone to.  For starters I am now ready to start college. That has really taken up a lot of my time. But with all the entrance exams and paper work out of the way it is just a matter of waiting for the first day of class to start.

So I took this morning to start getting back into the habit of reading some great blogs again. While going back and trying to read a months worth of post that would just be to much. So I just read the past couple of days, While some people read hundreds of blogs a day I try and keep mine around 20. Here are some links to post I really enjoyed.

Hardcore Casual 

When I think of user created content I am thinking of players writing quest and then those quest being implemented in game. But here he is talking more about 3D virtual worlds. Like second life and gia online I see things like this replacing MySpace and Facebook over time.

Tobold’s  talks about the number inflation that Mythic is using for Warhammer.

West Karana talks about the new raid zone in EQ2.  Also from West Karan a link to a new Wii game in Japan that will keep you laughing all day.
