EQ2 (AB) Guild name: Insurrection (08.29.2009)

Time for a long over due update.

 

The guild has made it to guild level 48 and has the plat ready to buy every thing we need at guild level 50, and also pay the upkeep for the next 3 months. The satus is another matter. We are lacking for every thing. I am the only level 80 crafter. By the way, As far as I can see, Doing level 80 rush orders is the fastest way to make satus for yourself and the guild. I am still making the guild level bar move up over 1% per rush order at guild level 48.

At this time it is only two of us playing any real time in the guild. Gulmuth and me as Natako.

 

The HILL

Going up the hill,  Gulmuth has found his way in the making plat world, He is still slow at it, But with time he will find his way to making 20+ plat a day with out even trying hard.

 

As we top the hill, Gulmuth and I have been friends for over two years now and have seen a lot of shit go on in game and have come out as better friends for it. We can log in and still have fun even when it’s just the two of us.

 

On the way down, Gulmuth has let me know that he is starting to burn out on the game and maybe taking some time off. Trying to help him and myself not burnout (to late for me, that happen all most 3 months ago for me) I talked about us looking for a new guild. Now this will not be the end of Insurrection. My main crafter will all ways stay in it, Some one has to pay the bills. What I was telling him was that we need to take an alt or two out of the guild and go find guilds that has over two members. So that is what we did. He went looking for a RP guild and I went looking for a fun and very active guild. Gulmuth and I did not do great with our picks, He (Gulmuth) picked a RP guild that had three members, He said they was fun, but busting at the seems they were not. I myself did not do much better. Don’t get me wrong the guild I join was very fun and I like every one in it, I still talk to them every few days on there on voice chat. The thing was they was not much bigger them my guild is. Oh they had more than two members, But not many active members. I had six of them I got to play/voice chat with. But in time I had to move on. Feeling very sad I told them I was moving out the guild and headed over to some friends guild that had a ton of people in it that was all ways on. Most times there is at lest 15 to 20 people on playing. I moved to the great guild of Knights of the Eternal Tempest with Trikster my Ranger.

 

My Brother, You know the one that talked me into re~opening Insurrection doors. Well he just left the guild two weeks ago with his other level 80 toon. I asked if there was any other toons he wished to level up to 80 then leave us yet again, Ok that was not fair, I want him to have fun and I know that for some one like him my guild is not fun. My brother the hardcore raider. Well at lest till he starts working again. He is layedoff and has to wait for the union to call him back in.

 

We do have three othere members that come and go from time to time, but I di not call them active, So you don’t see me talking about them.

 

Well thats about it, As far as the guild goes.

By the way…

It was a tie, I did two post yesterday. One of them was a test. To see if having WOW in your posting will give you more readers. The othere posting was on my main MMO (EQ2) and where my few reads come from, Well most of them are from there. 

The findings was odd.

I would say yes, Putting WOW in the title did bring new readers, I got as many readers for the WOW test as I did from my EQ2 GU test updating posting. For one day each had 86 hits. When I do a posting about a GU for EQ2 I run around 100 hit’s a day for about a week. If it’s a hot GU then the numbers go up a lot.

 

Having a WOW posting here is rare and no one knows me from that area of the world, So by having as many hit’s on one posting that as far as I know, did not even get with in the top ten pages on google for WOW yesterday. Think Bot.

 I did get a lot of spam from the WOW post, so maybe most of the hit’s for it may have been bot’s running around. Don’t know how that works, but have heard people talk about them and from what I got out of it, They(Bot’s) run around the internet looking for key words, Maybe they can spam too?

EQ2 GU53 (Test Update notes) and a thought or two

REMEMBER THAT ALL THIS JUST WENT ON TEST SEVER AND WILL CHANGE AT ANY TIME.

 

Some time between midnight (cst) and 6am (cst) GU53 made it to the test sever. So I had very little time to check it out. I did run around Qeynos looking at the homes, and what they did to them. They call the housing thing a revamp, but it’s nothing more than a add-on to it. At lest as far as it goes with qeynos.  First off they added one room to all the homes inn qeynos. the three room out of south qeynos is now a 4 room, After they added a new basement to the home. Out of all of the homes in qeynos, the 3 room home seems to win out over the rest. All other homes in qeynos just had a new room added to them, but not one of them have doors for the new rooms. I was realy hoping for a court yard off the main floor of the 5 room homes. But we got another bed room, but without the door to it. Well maybe not a bed room, but that is what I see most people use it for.

 

 After my letdown on the homes was over I tryed to check out at lest one or two things befor I had to leave out for work. The new AA to XP slider bar is very nice and can be found on your AA window. Also, because I did not have the time I don’t know if all got it, but my kitty cat race had a new racial innate abilite added to him. I can track now, and I am a conji, so I thought that wa cool. The thing is, Did they put much thought into it, or will there be a few races that got the shaft and came up wanting, Will see. (edit: just got off the phone with my brother and he was telling me that most all got something cool, but yes there are a few that did not get anything as far as he could tell. And still no way to test a frog on test, unless maybe you /test copy one over. but don’t know if that would work or not.)

 

There is a bunch of stuff to be looked at and I will pick a few things to talk about after the weekend. Untill then here is the update notes from the test server.

Oh and if you want to see some of this first hand log onto what ever toon you would like on test, and type /testcopy add after you did that give it  any where from a few hours to a day and log on into the test sever with your new copy of your toon.

 

 

 

 

this is another big one, so take your time with it ~ Alik Steel

 

Test Update
Posted on: August 27, 2009

FEATURED
Achievements
The new achievement system gives players a fun new way to track their accomplishments!  Most achievements will award players with achievement points that can be used to compare their progress against other players.  Some harder to complete achievements will offer non-stat item rewards.  The basic categories are General, Quest, Exploration, Combat, Slayer, Tradeskills and Triumphs.  Triumphs are large scale achievements that combine multiple achievements into one large one.  An example of this would be to do all of the combat, quest, and exploration achievements in a specific area.

Chronomagic
A number of mysterious erudites have set up in Qeynos, Freeport, Neriak, Gorowyn, and Kelethin. Any player level 20 or higher can speak to them and for a small fee temporarily lower their adventuring level.

This works very similarly to mentoring except:
- You do not need a mentoring target.
- You can only choose levels in increments of 5 (10, 15, 20, etc).
- You do not receive the bonuses granted from mentoring other players (currently you receive a very large bonus to AA gain while mentoring another player, this is not granted by the Chronomagic system).

The chronomagic will last until cancelled (right-click on your nameplate or /unmentor). Once cancelled, you must return to any Timeless Chronomage to reactivate the effect

Additionally, 37 new missions have been added that work similar to The Shadow Odyssey’s daily doubles. They task players with slaying various bosses within zones of all levels throughout Norrath  And, of course, these missions reward players with an array of exciting new items!

Chronomagic works the same on PvP servers as it does on PvE servers. However, it also has all the same restrictions as mentoring—namely that you cannot engage in PvP combat while the chronomagic effect is on your character. This makes it quite a bit more dangerous on PvP servers, so good luck and be careful!

Bosses and Events
As part of the chronomagic initiative, a pass was made through old-world overland and contested dungeons to greatly increase the frequency with which bosses and events spawned or occurred. Many placeholders and placeholder ring events were either removed or weighted much more heavily toward actual bosses spawning. Some of the notable highlights include placeholders being removed from:
(Note: These are all from forum feedback)
- Crypt of Betrayal – Specter of Ire
- Enchanted Lands – Chomper
- Everfrost – Chieftain Iceburn
- Feerrott – Screaming Mace HQ targets Agony, Hukulan, Kaxor, Xilarga, and Tzugaax. Also Bouncers Prud, Hurd, Fug, and Flerb who were also changed to no longer despawn
- Greater Faydark – Crushbone Expedition Leader, Chef, Weaponsmith, and Planner
- Lavastorm – Fire Toad, Magolemus
- Nektulos – Dannian Blackleaf – removed respawn time and despawn time, should always be up now
- Obelisk of Lost Souls – Mediums of Dyrt, Cron, Iza, Odris, Norrath, and Lysys, Soul Harvesters Kul, Na, Gron, and Zej, Avulsor
- Old Telescopic Lens (quest starter for The Staff of Observers) drops much more frequently
- Orchishwastes – Sentry Goorlux
- Palace of the Awakened – Skylord Stormclaw, Advisor Soliddar
- Rivervale – Willowmaw the Rotting
- Ruins of Varsoon – Weavemaster Esh’rax, Tome of Life, Tome of Death, The Creator
- Solusek’s Eye – Enforcer Maj’Fahd, Soulslaver Djar’veh, The Speaker of Fates, The Castigator, Lord Crana, Onyxlam
- Steamfont – Bulka Bloodhorn, Digmaster Pechpooka, Slave Pechmooka, Scout Pechyooka
- Steppes – Stiletto, Bloodtalon
- Stormhold – a caveroot horror, Battlepriest Alexandria
- Stormhold – The Scions – Archiovianix, Hephinntari, Qelinatias, Tumarinan
- The Vestibule – The Medium of Hykor
- Tombs of Night – The Leucous Maw

There are a large number of ring events that work similarly in the zones: Antonica, Commonlands, Everfrost, Sinking Sands, Enchanted Lands, Feerrott, Nektulos, Orcishwastes, and Thundering Steppes. They had a very high chance to spawn a placeholder, a small chance to spawn a boss, a small chance to spawn a shrine that buffs the player, and a small chance to spawn a number of different merchants. The chance to spawn a placeholder was greatly reduced and there is now a very high chance for one of the ‘events’ to occur. The merchants were all combined into the ‘rare’ merchant, who will now always spawn for that event. They also have a much larger merchantlist, and will buy, sell, and repair your gear! Contested Epic spawns in lower level zones were lowered to spawn every three days (with a large variation) instead of once a week.

A number of x2 and x3 contested mobs were downtiered because they had a 0% chance to drop fabled gear. They were lowered to triple-ups and their spawn times were adjusted accordingly. The contested epic mobs who did have fabled loot were given a 100% chance to drop at least one fabled item each time they are slain. Some of the mobs changed include:
- Allidax the Ancient
- Alrendi Thoughtsong
- Broog the Banished
- Commander Nagrat
- Cragshell
- Cyenadros, Lord of the Sanctum
- Doomsquall
- Equestrielle
- Grimfeather
- Haraghur the Deathless
- Haywire Opticron (lowered to one-up and added loot)
- Lavin Dusk
- Mangler
- Meathooks
- Scytheclaw
- Spiregazer
- Ssilth Rageclaw
- The Unseelie JumJum Thief
- Vox

In general, most named mobs (with some exceptions) changed by this pass have a very high chance to drop treasured. Those with rare fabled items had their chances to drop raised significantly as well.
- Named mobs in New Tunaria should have a 100% chance to drop legendary gear, and a much higher chance to drop Cloak of Flames pages now!
- A new boss has found his way into Sebilis.
- Bosses in Sebilis and Chardok should match Karnor’s Castle and spawn every 45 minutes + variation.
- The despawn timers from all of Kylong Plains’ rare mobs have been removed.
- The Fiery Apparition in Lavastorm should spawn once again

Note to testers:
Because of the size of Norrath, a number of placeholders may have slipped through our net. Please /feedback these with two pieces of information:  the full name of the zone and the full name of the placeholder-challenged named mob.

Shard of Love
The Sisterhood of Erollisi has returned to Antonica with grave concerns! Adventurers interested in helping them should seek out a Disciple of Love in Antonica, Kelethin or Gorowyn. Those with more devious intentions should seek out Disciples of Hate within The Commonlands, Neriak or Gorowyn.

As a side effect, items affected by this change will unattune and be sent to overflow initially upon first login.
Fixed a case where some item based triggered effects would begin to critical.

World of Warcraft Experiment

Yesterday I did a post just to see how many hit’s I would get from a wow post. So I just put “WOW” as the title. The first line of the post said that WOW was not going to be sold. After that I talked about a blog I read and why I was doing this little experiment. I did this to see if just by putting WOW as the name of the post, and having the first few lines saying somthing about wow would really make my blog hit’s go up. In this case it did not, My hit’s went down (only 47 and that counting all the hit’s of the day). I did not see as much as when I do a post on non-MMO things.

Syncaine told me that with having only three letters W O W as my title, things like google would not even pick my posting up. I am on a few other people’s blogs and one or two other sites like Virgin worlds blog list. So I always get a few few hit’s from them any time I do a post. But on this one I had less, Maybe it was the time of day I posted it, or it may have just been a bad day for a blog posting. I don’t know, So I have added a new name for this post and will just edit this one in the morning to let you know just how many hit’s you get when you play the big blog game.

 

 

and remember “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a gift. That is why it is called the present”

WOW

Blizzard Entertainment will not sell WOW at this time! John Smith was saying this morning at the board meating at Activision HQ. WOW just makes way to much money for this to happen right now, But maybe some time after the new MMO has come out we will rethink the selling of WOW.

 

SORRY for that, It’s all BS if for what ever reason you even thought for a second that this was a real posting. Well it is a real blog post, but not about WOW. I was reading Hardcore Casual blog the othere day, and he was talking about words to use to bring your numbers up on your blog. One of the things he said was that you could use the name WOW to pull people to your blog.

 

Me being a very casual blogger, and I only see very high numbers when I post on game update stuff for my MMO, I wanted to see if by doing a blog with a title only saying WOW on it then saying something way off the wall, like “Blizzard Entertainment will not sell WOW” really bring in high numbers of people.  Any one who plays WOW should know that it’s not being sold. And with that being said in the first line of the blog. With most search engines the first line is all ways there to see. So by saying something that every one all ready knows to be true. Will this be a hit?

I will not add any tags to this post.

 

The day is about half way over for me at lest, So I will be dealing with about 11 or 12 hours for the day. I will post the number count for this posting in the morning. Showing only that for a half day on a blog that runs with only about 10 to 12 people that veiw this blog every day. So if I get hit two or three hundred time before my day counter is done for the day Hardcore Casual will be right in saying just the name WOW will bring people to your site. If this is so, you may want to think before you just run over to a site with your game name in it, It just may be trash, trying to get numbers, So they can get paid.

EQ 2 AB sever down

Database issues and have had to take down AB and The Bazaar.

This is not the first time this has happen, and if they don’t really think of a way to really fix this, It will not be the last. AB is old and has been one of the biggest severs in eq2 for a very long time. When you think about how much stuff just one of your toons has in game, Then think about how much crap that is tied up for just the toons, the housing, and guilds. Well that is a lot. and then not long ago we had a flood of new players onto the AB sever, When they let players change severs right in the game and only for $25.00 per toon. We had guilds change over all at one time. Then on top of all of this you add a one day a month event that happen today. Well, you can see why we went down.

I am just like all of you and just want the dang thing up as fast as they can get it back up, But I also want it fixed, No, I have know idea how to do this. I hear people saying all the time we just need a new sever. If thats all, Then why have they not done this? I don’t think that that can be the only thing we need, are they would have done it. For all I know they have done it. I also hear people saying they need to lock the AB sever down so no new players can start on the AB sever. As a player of EQ2, I don’t want then to be able to tell me what sever I can or can not play on. That is just a bad idea, to tell people that they can’t play with there friends. You will have people leave the game with that line of thought.

I don’t know if we will be back up and playing in an hour or maybe some time tonight.

Before you go off on eq2, just take a bit to think what they are dealing with and that they did not want this to happen. They want us to be playing.

The Guild – Do You Wanna Date My Avatar (Music Video)

Sorry for only doing the one shot vid’s, but I have not been trolling the web for any thing in the last few months. First the burn out, Then the hurt back. Now that I am able to sit in my sit for more than a hour at a time. I have been playing a lot of EQ2. I just happen on this little gem of a video. I have followed The Guild for a bit now, and can’t wait till season 3 to start. But was very happy to see them do this.

Also go check out Dr. Horrible’s  Sing-Along Blog

Still down, But not out!

As I sit here typing, I am in pain, I had a bad night and got very sick. I want go into it, But with me trying to get over my hurt back it didn’t help at all. It’s all most like starting back to the day I first hurt it all most a month ago now. At lest this monday afternoon I will get my MRI to see what is going on back there. I pray it’s not a slipped disk. I don’t know any one that has had one, but with me being down for all most a month now. I don’t know, I just don’t know what it could be that would keep hurting for so long.

I do try to find time to log into EQ2 when I am feeling better. I all so do check my twitter and blog, even if I am not saying any thing. I am trying to stay off the pills, as they tend to fog my mind and makes it hard to keep my thoughts straight. Not that I have ever been good at keeping them in line in the first place.

There is no update to my guild “Insurrection” or the few members in it, as I am not playing alot and just don’t know whats up with every one. When I do log in the game, I am out hunting shinies at my few huney spots. Way I see it, Why not make money when I am not playing much. Well I hope I will be making money. I have not started selling yet.

Sorry for being so short, but it’s time for me to get off this dang thing and back in bed.

Happy webbing, and good hurnting.
