Greetings From Norrath!

Some shots from EQ2 today, where I still spend a lot of my gaming time!

Legion Thoughts

Legion has been out a little over two weeks. I hit 100 on my main within five days, that Sunday after release. A nice leisurely pace for my first, and possibly only 100, this expansion. Here's what I think so far about Legion.

BINGO! Have fun and socialize over a game of bingo!

Isn’t the joy of playing online bingo on the sites just multiplied with the ability to connect with the friendly chat hosts and your online bingo buddies? Yes, you got it right! Most of the bingo sites have interactive chat rooms where players get to chat with each other and have good time while playing their favorite bingo games. This exclusive element of bingo sites is what gets more people playing the game.

Postcards From Norrath

Some shots of EQ2 today. Still playing on the side a bit, I love EQ2 so it is hard to stay away for long. This shot is in one of my all time favorite zones, The Village of Shin. I would love to have a whole expansion with this theme, or even some player housing!

Legion

Legion is here finally! It has been nice to delve in and take part on all these new adventures. I have only been working on one character, though I have seen friends getting a start on all their character's artifact weapons. For me it has been most fun just taking things slow, enjoying the newness and taking everything in. The newness will wear off soon enough so I will enjoy it as long as I can!

Countdown

The countdown to Legion is on, only a few hours left! I will be logging in, hopefully logged in so when it rolls over I will be ready to go. Being on a late schedule doesn't hurt, heh. I did not get everything done that I wanted to but I'm fine about that. I didn't want to burn myself out over the past week so I only logged in briefly a few times to do invasions. I have all the sets for mogging, several bat pets and I don't think there is anything else I need or want.

Ramping Up

Fishing with my little buddy. (Petamorph wand)

This week the invasions ramp up in WoW, and there is a new part of the story to do (kind of). Add in some updates from EQ2 such as the new level 95 heroic characters (get one free) and there is just so much to do right now! Oh, they are having a sort of invasion event in EQ2 as well, public quests are back!

Something Old, Something New, Seven Years Later

I think one of my favorite things about this blog, why I still blog, is that I always have things to look back on. Rarely do I go back to read an old post but often I look back at the pictures. Google search for images of games often pops up a lot of my own and it is always nice to think back on those images and then I may go read the post to think back on. Seeing when Dire, my son, my brothers or old friends were in the shots. It never fails to make me smile, sometimes it is sad as well, not playing with them in these games we used to play together all the time. I started this blog back in 2009, around this time of the year. So this will mark seven years for me blogging here. I am not nearly as dedicated as I was in the early years, each year I seem to get worse and worse about a schedule. But it is something special to me, something I am proud to have stuck with. So, thank you for reading, I do it for me, but also to share the games I play, thoughts and pictures with readers. I'm still here, saving massive amounts of screenshots to post, heh. Sometimes I have so many words in my head it is exasperating to try to get them all out. These posts are often just easier and faster for me to make sure to get a post up with.

Death, Demon Hunters, And Invasions!

Demon Hunters and invasions galore! The latest patch for WoW has been quite interesting. It has been nice to log in with some new stuff this week. I always am quick to criticize something I do not like and I like to also give praise to the things I really do appreciate. I have to say the polish is something we have to come to love about Blizzard and there is no lack of it in this update.

Changes

Tomorrow Demon Hunters arrive in WoW, as well as demon invasions. I am pretty happy to finally be able to try out the DH class, and it will be nice to collect some cosmetic gear during the event. It will give me something fresh to do, so I plan on trying to enjoy it all, not rush through it.
