Tonight, well actually in the wee morning hours, the Moonlight Enchantments begin in EQ2. I still want several things for my house, so I've been waiting around for this one! I am still patiently waiting for the Freeport city festival as well. The Moonlight Enchantments are fun, easy and a nice change of pace. I'm waiting eagerly to visit these magical enchanted mushroom rings!
I've been working steadily on AA points. I am up to 59 currently, still sitting at level 57. I am cleaning up on some quests I skipped over or just didn't see before, trying to gain as many AA I can while questing, before working on the levels again. I think tonight though we will do Split Paw for Dire, he likes to do the instances a lot. This weekend he spent most his time finishing up Butcher Block soloing quests. It kept him out of my hair (Ha ha! Just kidding!).
In my last post I mentioned my brother trying the game. Sadly he just didn't take to it, not wanting to learn everything over again. He commented, it might be different if it was a great game. But it is a great game! He also made the comment that if there was something new I'd be off playing it over EQ2. Eh, I don't think I'll be going anywhere for awhile, I'm tired of changing games and happy where I am. So now it's just Dire and I playing. Which is fine, I am glad we made the transition back to EQ2 and I think we will make it to high end and stick with this one for the long haul.
Reflecting on the past few months, before picking up EQ2 again, I was looking for a game that would offer much for us to do and keep us interested. Sometimes I miss EQ, I miss the old zones I loved so much, not the more recent ones- I think it's the people I miss the most. It's all in the memories I suppose. Or I will have a moment I miss WoW, thinking of old friends and adventures. Then I remember it's not the same without some of those people and the way it was. I am happy with EQ2 and it's a nice place to be!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Oh arse, I knew I was missing some kind of event. Then again, it's easy to do these days in EQ2 with all the stuff they put on.
ReplyDeleteI guess work > gaming. At very least, work pays for gaming. :P
Hehe, it's still going on! Yeah it is easy to lose track sometimes ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about WoW or what other people think about what you should be playing. Fun > all. I'm having fun with Lotro right now despites all the people telling me it sucks.
ReplyDeleteVery true! I bet the LoTRO community is a refresher after WoW hehe.
ReplyDeleteI constantly miss what EQ1 was years ago. Back when KC was a good place to get exp/trained. The reality is those glory days are gone. EQ1 is just a skeleton of its old self...
ReplyDeleteYes, I do miss those days. Given how old EQ is, I think it's doing far better than most expected it would at this point. It's just different now and you have to appreciate it for what it is.
ReplyDeleteI would love to play classic again- I just don't ever see that happening. Up to Velious, maybe Luclin.. I do like the mounts and character models from this xpac ;)
what I was looking for, thanks
