So, as you may have noticed, I’ve just discovered the button on the post editor that lets you put in a [click here to read more] link early on in a post(*). Something I’ve been trying to work out for ages and yet has been blatently obvious and staring me in the face this whole time. So it now means that a single post of mine won’t fill up the entire home page and my older ramblings can get a bit more shelf life should anyone want a fuller perspective on my growing ineptitude. You can all stop laughing at me now…
(Or for the non-Brits out there, Murphy’s Law)
Over the last couple of days I came into possession of a copy of The Lord Of The Rings Online and had fully committed myself to giving it a thorough exploration this weekend. See what the fuss is about, check out one of EQII’s newer rivals. All good stuff.
So, which weekend does SOE decide to make a double super-boosting, all-you-can-eat XP weekend?
Sigh.
Red pill, blue pill? Red pil, blue pill…
I can die peacefully now, I truly have lived long enough to see everything.
A departure from the usual EQII-related fun and games. Norrath is still going great guns for me, I’m dividing time in-game between completeing missions in Butcherblock (rather enjoyed the variety of the Talvrae T’Zyth line at the entrance to Greater Feydark, especially being given the chance to temporarily play act as a pet-owning class with the nearby Yarpsnarls), progressing the Lore & Legend: Kobold quest, and earning the guild some points by processing tradeskill writs back at Kelethin (although if I have to make one more pristine bloody vase I’m likely to go crazy).

Lack of recent updates = increased activity away from game. Sorry about that. Basically as every issue of E-ON draws nearer to deadline, my spare time for writing blogs and, often, playing EQII tends to dwindle – and that’s precisely what’s happening here just now.
That said, I have been able to spend some time in Norrath, deliberately so since joining the guild as I didn’t want to seem uninterested. Far from it, although there hasn’t been much in the way of guild ‘activity’ per se, just being part of a social group while playing, joining in on the random guild chat (and enjoying the bizarre twilight zone-style life of listening to conversations via the voice channels and responding solely with type due to my not having a mic set up) and even adding a few status points by exploring writs – both combat and tradeskill, although the Rush Orders are a bitch given that you have no idea what sort of components you’ll need ahead of time. I had tried some forward planning and used the guild bank to gather some harder harvests prior to commencing one that I’d failed previously, and was making damn fine progress until with just one item left to go and about 55 seconds left on the clock, I discovered I’d miscounted the components by one solitary ingredient and was therefore doomed to failure.
