Live Events And A Short Break!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of good food! If you haven’t checked out the EQ2 5th anniversary events, it’s worthwhile to do so. You can get a lovely painting of Venekor (he looks a little menacing!) and a Qeynos claymore replica by completing some quests. And you get a tapestry by completing a collection quest. I found purple shinies all over N Qeynos and S Qeynos, not sure if they spawn in any other locations. There are also a couple of other quests for fireworks and food (They are repeatable with a 1 hour cool-down). For good-aligned, all quests start in N Qeynos.

Also, Champions Online is going to be free this weekend. Too bad I’m going to be busy. So if you missed it last time, this is your chance.

I am going to be taking a short break from EQ2 and expect to be back right after Christmas. I might log on now and then if possible, but won’t have too much time so I most likely won’t make any posts till I’m back. Going to be busy with RL for a bit . I’m going to miss all my EQ2 friends and reading all your blogs, but I’ll be back soon! Have a wonderful weekend and safe travels all!

A Few Hours Of Champions Online

It has been a while since I posted. Been trying to study for a Cisco re-cert and haven’t logged onto EQ2 all week, not even to check the broker! Not that I spent all that time studying… but I’ve been trying. Hopefully I can get over with this test soon and get back to gaming.

I did get a chance to check out Champions Online when they did the free Halloween weekend. The character customization is simply awesome! Gameplay was alright, but I tend to get bored easily. Glad to say that I’m not bored with EQ2 after a couple of years! There’s just so much more to do in EQ2 other than just questing and destroying evil. Back to Champions Online, there are lots and lots of options on how you can customize your character. How would you want to hide your secret identity? Glasses, masks or goth makeup? I honestly can’t say too much about the gameplay, as I spent more time creating my superhero than playing the game . From what I did see, it was talking to various NPCs and finishing up quests (the usual). These are just my opinions from spending a few hours on Champions Online. Maybe if I had played longer, I’d have a different view on it…

I’ll have to find some time to sneak into Norrath this weekend. Have a great weekend and safe travels all!

Friday Night Group Plans, “Bonus Void Shard Weekend” And Free Champions Online!

Woot! It’s Friday! There are quite a few things to look forward to this weekend. What I am most excited about is our Friday night group plans! We might go to Shard of Love, but to me it doesn’t matter where we go. We always end up having a good time regardless . It has been hard to find some common planned free time lately. So far, it’s going to be Keocia, Rohawn, Kastle and me. That’s the paladin group + the most awesome healer!

This weekend is supposed to be “Bonus Void Shard Weekend” in EQ2. We will see an increased rate of void shard drops starting Friday – October 30th at 2:00 PM PDT and ending on Monday – November 2nd at 10:00 AM PDT. Sounds like a good time to stock up on shards for your main or army of alts!

Also, Champions Online is free to try this weekend. Check it out here. You just need to sign up for a free account and download the game. The Blood Moon promotional weekend will be active from Friday – October 30th at 10:00 AM PDT to Monday – November 2nd at 10:00 AM PDT. Who doesn’t want to be a superhero? Especially one where you get to choose your superpowers.

Have an amazing weekend and safe travels all!
