Today has been a challenging day! UPS and Amazon were in disagreement as to the status of my copy. Amazon said bad weather caused it to be declined and UPS said it was on target. After a while it did arrive. I rushed home from work and immediately threw the CD into the drive to install. Unfortunately, nobody informed me that installing was currently the wrong process. It put a separate EQ2 on my computer that just didn’t seem to work. I went to my old client and logged in with that. I was in! (more…)

This evening I had the pleasure of attending the EverQuest 2 Sentinel’s Fate beta tour hosted by Brenlo and company. I have to be honest and say this was one of the more enjoyable events I’ve attended lately even if things didn’t start off so well.

I want to talk about a few different subjects over the course of the next week … few days …hours. To start I thought I’d go to what I consider one of the more exciting topics! I’m talking of course about the new templar and cleric class AAs that will be available in less than two weeks! I’m going to avoid giving specific values since they are prone to change but I want to talk about in general what they do and whether I think they hit the mark. (more…)
