A site update?!

[keldo]

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?

Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?

Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost?

If the answer is "yes," then don't wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals...



(details for more, with videos!)

(Warning, some videos are loud and definitely not work/small child safe! - you have been warned!)

Been a while since I updated the site. I certainly felt a feeling of dread as Christmas approached, as I was threatened with a present of coal if I didn't update before it.



Someone jumped the gun, this update is 2 hours before Christmas!

I'm not really sure where our last update left off, since its been almost 8 months. Time flies when you are having fun!

But in case you forgot, the storyline for this EQ2 expansion is beings from THE VOID are attacking.



So, we had a problem - A prehistoric bitch decided to come to Norrath and try to ruin the party.



We couldn't call the professionals..


So, we had to do it ourselves. Since we weren't carrying around unlicensed nuclear accelerator on our backs, this proved to be pretty interesting.

EQ2 also decided to add in the new achievement system, which you probably are familiar with if you have ever played Xbox live or any recent console. Nice idea, added a little flavor to the game for those of us with ADHD and OCD.




Yes, that is an achievement for giving 10 hugs to random people. This raid went pretty well...considering.



Back to Anashti Sul, this mob has a curse which gives you a five second warning to "be wary of your actions". Kind of like, "Don't cross the streams."



For some of our members, its more of a guideline than a rule. See, this curse causes the entire raid to be destroyed, and after wiping to her for a couple weeks, I don't think the achievement system is expansive enough. They definitely need to put one of these in.



Eventually though, things went our way. Here's a couple of shots, and a VIDEO composed by one of our members, Voyde.





Unfortunately, she wasn't the only spook in town. Turns out EQ2 is the corner penthouse of spook central. Next on our list was the vampire dragon, Zarrakon.



He was looking a little smug, so we decided to wipe it off his face. At first, he was a tough one for us. But since we are badass*.



Now we can do it with 18. Here's a VIDEO of one of our earlier kills.



We also killed a bunch of lesser baddies, using our superior tactics.



Inside Munzok's Material Bastion, the first four named went down. Including the powerful GOZER, er, I mean Gozak.







No action shot of Gozak, since I forgot to take one. From there, we headed to a new zone. Miragul's Planar Shard. Miragul is another old dude who decided to rain on our parade. We had to show him how we do things downtown. At least, his minions..










We have a few more mobs to deal with in that zone, including Miragul himself. I'm sure that will be another achievement unlocking experience.

Finally, we killed some new foes in Ykesha's Inner Stronghold. He also happens to be a 500 year old zombie, so I must say Sony is really helping me out with the whole Ghostbusters theme.







Ykesha is the last of 4 mobs on our hitlist for the rest of this expansion. Which is probably the most difficult we have experienced thus far in EQ2. Pretty nifty for an casual, instance only guild.

Here's a couple more VIDEOS, here and here. They are unrelated to the theme and thus get tacked on at the end!

And of course, I can't send you away without a little bit of holiday cheer.





Best wishes to you and yours.

As far as the quotes, this will have to do
