  • My third venture into EQ2: Part 3

    The Beginning Reflect arrived at Hate’s Envy a bit dazed and confused. You see it the teleportation spell that brought him here had the ill fated side effect of selective amnesia.

  • My third venture into EQ2: Part 2

    I am back sooner than I even thought to continue recording some of my thoughts on my third visit back to Everquest 2.  I left off last time clicking “enter world”, and thus I will pick up with User Interference After selecting a name for my character that was accepted, I was thrust into…

  • Raiding Rut: Nax25

    Last night I was able to join a two guild joint venture into nax25. After six hours I had finally defeated all the bosses of this instance for the first time. Several previous times I had defeated various other bosses, but this was the first time I was able to experience the whole thing. At…
