Live Event?

Another live event has flown by.  With my vacation right in the middle I was only able to complete 4 out of the 10 tasks.  It was fun being back in Riekland Factory at least.  Though trying to finish some of the tasks at 9:00 pm on the last night isn't the smartest thing to do.  Only one scenario popped and it was right in the middle of a fortress siege.  Ah well.  I can't wait to see the new Land of the Dead.

Bring on more fun!

Yes!

I've done it.  I've figured out MMORPG's Cartouche!  A letter correction and a wild guess saved me.

I was about to die from anxiety too.  Whew.

Now to figure out the others.

Dem Bones.

Rise of the Tomb Kings SSWith the upcoming 1.3 patch bringing Land of the Dead and many other nifties, it seems Mythic has again sent out care packages to the community.  This time in the form of skulls and miscellaneous bones with codes to decipher the hieroglyphics some fansites have received.  Read about the blog challenge here.

So far, three sites have received the Cartouches and six blogs have gotten some of keys to decode them. (The following are the North American ones only.  Some European blogs and sites have received presents as well.)

Cartouches:

kotaku.com, mmorpg.com, and massively.com

Keys:

Tome of Knowledge, Da'Toughest, Epic Slant, Keen and Graev, Rainbow MMO, Werit, and Bio Break

I can't wait to see the others that pop up over the next couple weeks.

Here's to Mythic for their entertaining ways to get the community hyped up, and of course for puzzles, cool stuff, and fun times!

Edit: Added another Cartouche site and three more blogs with keys to help decode them.

Altitis has struck again.

My guild/alliance seems dead when I finally get to log in and with scenarios not popping or exciting oRvR happening, I've become bored.  It's no fun not having people to play with.  I don't even want to play my alts on that server (Vortex) being as it feels like a very lonely grind.

So with my Archmage sitting at RR 31 and not moving, I've decided to try out a different server: Phoenix Throne.

I've created a Runepriest (Kaeleer), already rank 5 and made a friend.  I was able to complete and enjoy the Ch. 2 PQ and gave a good shot at completing the Ch 1. PQ, as well as max out both influence bars.  On the second go-round of the Ch. 2 PQ I received a gold bag and with it chose the chest piece which gave me an unlock in my ToK.  A great start to hopefully a long and exciting journey into RP.

This will be my first real attempt at role playing.  I'm not a very good "on the spot" thinker so we'll see how well I do.  But I've always loved coming up with the background of a character and have many of those lying about (though mainly for WoW).  I've got the basic idea of where I'd like to go with Kaeleer but have yet to work on my background.  That's what I usually use my 45 minute drive home for.  I should have a basic background by tonight.

I'm hoping my Archmage doesn't get dusty since I seem to have a later play time than most on my server.  With WAR being dependant on population, it looks like Delaunay will have sit on the back burner until Land of the Dead releases.  Which, by the way, looks freakin' amazing.

Day of Games.

Land of the DeadIf you want to catch up on the Games Day at Baltimore, head on over to Warhammer Alliance.  They've got some great videos and other tidbits about the Land of the Dead.

I can't wait for this part of the Live Expansion to be released.
