Friday: Saw Alice Cooper in Concert at a casino. He's better in an arena, but still worth seeing (especially if you never have). Some modern acts could learn from his theatrics.

Saturday: Logged in to F.V. to talk to my brother a bit. EQ makes a handy chat program...

Sunday: Busy with work stuff, haven't managed to login to Vulak much of late.


A sidenote:

120 anon guests on alla today... what's it take to get you folks to register and posting?

Basic membership is free you know. Especially with so many doing old content on TLP it would be nice to have that playerbase updating the forums on the old items and quests. If the last post was 5+ years ago, I think it's welcome to post "this dropped for me today on TLP, mob info is correct". Some of the old drops are a pain to get, and when no one has posted in years you start to doubt they still exist...

I saw Alice last year. I wasn't expsecting much because I tend to reside in mosh pits and didn't expect any to form. But OMG, it was a tremendous show. We had so much damn fun. I about cried when he played the Ballad of Dwight Frye (and of course when he hangs himself dressed in drag as a nurse was awesome, err disturbing). Never expected it.

Friday, I slept in and leveled up my baby ranger a little. I actually like playing her and it brings back all the memories of my very first wood elf ranger (that I made when I first started in 2004).

Saturday, I did some house cleaning because I've been slacking due to a busy college schedule. After that, I finished up a paper for English 101 and then logged into my wizard to grind out some more aa's.

Sunday, I logged into my druid and helped a guildmate gain a few levels in BoT. He's a returning player, so I helped him get back into the groove of things.

Friday during the day tried some things to fix my keyboard problems. Logged onto elne's machine and played around getting some items to my second account. (Free reactivation so why not.) and the warrior I created. Did a brief leveling with him. Let at 3pm to work 16 hour overnight on ship. It was a girl scout troop and I made the mistake of yelling at them like a Navy Petty officer would. Bad choice.

Sat came home played a bit of Warlords IV. Played in eq with cleric doing some faction work, mass killing of orcs in commons so Freeport would be a little bit safer. Tried to go to kith but had low manna when I started so I had to zone out.
Played a bit more with the ranger ding level 12. Found out I had no maps off the download on Elnes comp.Spent time fixing that.

Sunday off and on during the day. Played ranger, did a run for a rezz of a guild mate. Found out a 33 cleric cant solo HG. Ding 2 on the warrior. Got a Shiny Brass Shield thanks to a guild mate taking out the trainer. Found a fix for my keyboard problems. It was the security system from comcast making the key board unresponsive.

I have visions of mayhem and shenanigans and a bunch of little girls rebelling (ala Wednesday Addams)...

Grats on the fix Jon! How did you figure it out?

The eggheads are at level 10 now. I played my Povar team for a bit on Sunday and Monday before I went to work.

I saw Alice in 1978... I was eighteen then...so much of his pop rock was so much more pertinent us at that age, though I still love to put him on once in awhile.

Boy could they! He had a huge stage sized net with large (human) spiders crawling 50 feet above the audience. I can't remember the name of the coloseum then, but it was in Denver.

Friday After Hours helped level Beast in UF up (the event might be an expansion old, but Beast and Mate STILL hit hard, LOL). Sadly, some folks are still trickling back in the game. (exploring Rift/LotRO/AD&D online, etc).

Saturday got some friends a bunch of AA's in tier 4 HoT. Kind of sad how easy the top zones are now, and 6 months to go till new expansion.

Sunday helped a returning player with some early HoT progression missions.



Overall, a productive weekend.

Always I had my suspicions, and they were confirmed by another poster on the thread here about my wacky keyboard.

Snailish, no rebellion on the girls part, they were too scared.

Been playing my monk on Vulak during the double experience week. I normally avoid double experience events because leveling feels too fast to me, but it's been quite enjoyable (to be back in game) despite the non-classic speed.

I am still annoyed by a few of the non-classic elements left in game, and none more than the fact that most animals are now indifferent as opposed to threatening/scowls. Sometimes I feel like I don't even need any situational awareness. It's truly a shame that this portion of the game was changed and considerably dumbed down.

Aside from that, been working on a couple motorcycles with my brother getting things ready for Summer... then off for a month of vacation in June. I'll be looking forward to Kunark being open by the time I get back! That is... assuming my identity isn't stolen, my passport revoked, and I get stuck in Croatia.

To my post event regret. Now I will never work another girl scout overnight on the ship. That was not my plan either.
