My Lil Assassin

Like most people with the release of Kunark, I just had to make myself a Sarnak and since I hadn’t really played an assassin much before that’s what I went with.  Leveling is going pretty fast, like it always does when first starting out, he’s up to 12 already with 3AA points and nearing 13 [...]

Kunark Quest Loot

I’m not sure why but I find that the plate loot from the quests I’ve done so far pretty much suck. Granted I’m wearing all level 62 mastercrafted with 3 pieces of the Nem Anhk set, but I expected there to be at least some upgrades worth considering. Nope, no such luck. Most of the [...]

Always a Healer

I always end up playing a healer in these online RPGs all the way back to EverQuest 1. I’ve tried playing as a tank, but it just doesn’t suit me. Ranged DPS would be my second favorite though, it’s nice to just ignore life bars and blast the crap out of stuff for a while. [...]

XBox Networking

For the first couple of weeks while I had my XBox 360 in the living room I had to keep switching the network cable back and forth between the old XBox and the new 360. I wish the 360 had built in wireless like the Wii and the PS3 (hell, even the PSP and Nintendo [...]

Do Quests, Rinse & Repeat

I’m already noticing quite a trend with the new Kunarkian zones.  First it was Teren’s Grasp, and once again, being a quest whore makes this bearable.  In order to use the merchants in TG you need to get your faction up to 20k.  In order to buy from the faction merchant you need to max [...]

Greeting Cards

It’s hard to find really nice looking greeting cards around here. Cartoony cards and generic designs are all over the place but for some truly beautiful cards you should check out this corporate Christmas Cards Company, Gallery Collection. These aren’t your average printed picture on plain white cardboard, these are made of high quality paper [...]

SOE’s Bonehead Move

Seems like a lot of us EQ2ers are up in arms over the changes that were made regarding experience gain in Kunark.  Now that I’ve read the official reasoning to it, I can understand why they did it, but I still think it was a bonehead move.  And this is coming from me, a quest [...]

Projectors & Accessories

I’d love to have a projector in the living room, it would be so cool to watch movies or play games on the wall. Costs have come down a lot on them lately which is good because for games like EQ2 with all the reading required, it would be painful to play on standard definition. [...]

Deleting Quests – Unthinkable!

Last night I hit the Fens of Nasthar, and the quests rolled in, and kept on rolling. It seems this zone doesn’t go so much in quest chains, but more standalone single quests. Problem is, I only had 10 slots empty, and one of the guys in my group had 33 quests from Fens alone. [...]

2 Zones Down, Much More to Go

I’ve now done every quest available from Timorous Deep, 116 of them, and all but 2 from the Kylong Plains which means I’ve done 79 in that zone.  Next up will be Fens of Nasthar I think, but so far I don’t even know how to get there.  I’ve found the zone to Jarsath Wastes, [...]

New Router

Not too long ago my old Netgear router gave up the ghost. I had gotten it on sale from Futureshop for $69 several years ago when routers were commonly around $125 or more, so I can’t complain about the lifespan really. When looking for a new router I had a chance to buy a used [...]
