Title says it all! Smiley: grin

Thu: Patch Day! Hooray! Smiley: disappointed Couldn't log in until 10.30pm local time, but still managed to do the Frostfell Goblin tasks in Everfrost afterwards; even saw Santug himself passing by and rooting me. Got the 2-slot stocking and went to bed.

Fri: Company Christmas party in the evening which was quite fun, but returned home at midnight, because:

Sat: got up early to shop for and prepare Christmas dinner with friends; 12 adults and 3 children in a 20m² room, but we had a very nice evening.

Sun: It took us the whole day to do the dishes and to clean and restore the flat. All in all quite a nice weekend, but I wish I had had some more time for myself.

Didn't get a chance to start 2-boxing. None of the local stores had a copy of eq Titanium...

Got invited to do a MM in Lavastorm. It was a nice break from Dranik's Scar. The mission was the one where you are transformed into a little robot and have to rescue some hostages. Took about 15-20 minutes to complete and the EXp was good. Did it a few times and that was all I could handle.

Rest of the weekend was spent shopping and getting stuff ready for Christmas. It still doesn't feel anything like Christmas. We had the windows opened yesterday as the Temp soared into the lower 70's...

1.000 posts from work within 2,5 years isn't too bad, is it? Smiley: tongue

Smiley: yippeeCongrats bbot!

Not much EQ time this weekend; a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Did most of the Frostfell Quests.

Since we're down to one computer I actually had to schedule computer time for Sunday's Guild raid. Set out to do the HoH trials. Managed the Maiden's ok, but then total wipe on RD. (she was below 10% when I went down so we were VERY close). Raid lost steam after that and we called.

Couldn't help but follow the news camera's swarming Mt. Hood covering the search for the lost climbers.Smiley: frown

Congrats on the 1k!

Didn't get to EQ much this weekend - it's finals week and I had a massive Sociology final project to work on. Dinged 22 on the 'zerker, managed to finally finish the SK newbie armour quest, and set up the shammy in PoK casting SoW. I'm trying desperately to get the 'zerker a horse, and people were kindly donating a few plat here and there for SoW, which I deposited in the shared bank. Was a good weekend for EQ, though I'll be lucky if I finish my Soc. project before Tuesday. >_<

Gratz on 1K! (newb! Smiley: wink)

Spent most of the weekend leveling my SK's shroud. 78% into the third one.

Unfortunatley I did not get the Frostfall sock for my monk earlier (in order to get a chance at the 100% WR bag), so spent a lot of time running the quests for my SK who had the sock to start. Fishing went from 0-106 (still working on Everfrost Trout, but I have the rest done).

Cleric got his first ever piece of Time gear on Saturday. Mask with EE up to level 67. Veil of Warmth

No real time to actually play EQ this weekend, but the 1Gb of memory I ordered showed up Friday afternoon, so I cracked my case open Friday night and installed it...and got nothing. My computer didn't like mixing the new 1gb ECC with old 512mb of non-ECC so i spend a couple hours tweaking the computer to get it to accept it. Finally around midnight I was back in business. Logged in 2 toons that are still in the tutorial to see how performance was and was happy to see that I can now auto-follow myself. Before the memory upgrade the second toon would stand there while the first ran away:)

Only other time I even managed to get in front of the computer this weekend was Saturday morning and that was only long enough to fix some of the settings i screwed up Friday night. Oh well, maybe I can play some this week.

Gratz bbot! The third star looks good on you. I'll toast my last framboise to you tonight! Smiley: clap

Friday: The end of the second worst week in my life thus far, and the end of the first week of my unemployment. Thanks to all of you who sent PM's with best wishes; you have no idea how much that helped. /whine off. No EQ due to sick wife and me watching the 3yo.

Saturday: Met up with two RL friends online and took the Mage to Bloodfields. Mage dinged 59, but only because of their help; pet was owned by the mobs. I really have to work on chaining the pets. Got a better DD at 59, so things will be a bit faster.

Sunday: Made my strike list for the weeks job search, and spent time with the family. Watched the Steelers keep their hope alive, but I don't expect to see them stick it out much more, there are WAY too many things that could go wrong for them to make it to the playoffs. Played for about an hour, and found out about the clickable fishing bait quest, which I'm going to do for my ranger just for kicks. Wish I would have gotten the stocking before that quest ended; better luck next year.

Grats, bbot!

Not much time to devote to EQ. Had a ton of stuff to do thanks to the holidays coming!

However, tried out the TSS zones. First had to patch my laptop with the TSS files. Then had to download the maps from mapfiend. Burned my play time for Saturday.

Sunday, was having that disconnect problem again but I managed to get the beginnings of the wanderlust guild quest started.

Congrats to bbot, might have to change the title! This weekend 4 out of my 6 got the Depths of Darkhollow mask. It truely felt like it should have an epic flag on it or something, sheesh! Next weekend we backflag the cleric and the mage through elder longshadow 4 and 5 then 69.3 and 4 and they're done and back to trying to get the baby mage the robe out of the last migration hard.

Gratz bbot on 1k!

Fri: No EQ, spent the evening in Brussels bar jumping.

Sat: Some crazy people talked me into going to Arcstone to one group The Colossus of Skylance without a slower. We won on the third attempt but only the bracer dropped - and none of us could use :( After that we ran around some nameds and I finished my Mark of the Spirits quest for my cloak - wonder how long it will take to level it?

Sun: Logged on just in time to catch a Saryn raid - got The Keeper flag I was missing. Then took my little monk to an Agnarr raid afterwards - first PoP win for him. Also, finished my Master's Aug quest thingy - 3rd attempt, first one I accidently deleted halfway through, second one went all buggy. Made 3 sets of Master's augs for all my little alts - not one failure! Now if I can find some peeps to help me with the Grandmaster's :)

Thursday ran around doing the holiday quest and got the stockings on my two povar toons and on friday the paladin winjon on ct. Ran the rogue around stonebrunt mnts for a bit as well. Made money on trader.
Saturday was working on the follow up quests on ct. Heard an general announcement of room for a cleric on a Chardok raid. Quickly sent a tell and logged on Courtin. Was basically along for the ride, got to zone as raid started, ran behind the mayhem, and found group as Nobles were engaged. Cast one Ch and two HOT spells. Picked up the epic scroll and a group heal spell as well as a few drops on ffs looting. Also made level 61. After that I logged on shaman and rogue to upgrade stocking quests. Working today on fishing and more fishing and spell casting when bored with fishing.

This weekend was the big move for me. Worked late Friday and spent the night alone in the empty apartment. Slept on a bare hardwood floor with just a comforter! Smiley: eek My back was killing me.

Saturday, worked and went home early. Went out to a bar with my girl and her friend, got tanked (only four pints of Bass...)

Sunday, my brother came down with our dad's minivan and picked us up to move. After three trips to the apartment and the storage unit we were finally done. Still a few more pieces to get elsewhere but we had plenty to set up and organize, and no cable or internet. Luckily electricity and heat were on!

Today we got our cable/internet/phone and my 19" LCD. Went on a huge shopping spree at Target and spent all day putting the place together. Got my desktop set up and updated all sorts of stuff since it's been about six months since I've used this box. Got the new America's Army (2.7) and patched EQ - and now, finally, get to play.
