The world didn’t stop and wait for me while I was away. EQ2′s next expansion has been named and given a rough release schedule, although knowing any software development company, it will get pushed back. The later it is, the merrier, since it would be closer to the date of me being released from my mandatory military service, which is next September.
Meanwhile, I set myself some goals I want to reach before the next expansion gets released. One’s got to have a goal to work towards in life, right? So does my character.
Firstly, I’d like to reach 200 AA. I think it’s a goal that can be achieved with some determination. I’ve completed most of the soloable quests that is equivalent to my tier, with the exception of the rime repeatables. I’m looking to go back and finish up the Peacock and Claymore lines, and also all the grayed out HQs. I want to have an almost empty quest journal in preparation for the expansion.
On the list right behind that is armor upgrades. I currently have 3 pieces of T2 and 2 pieces of T1, which isn’t too shabby, but nothing to be proud of considering a majority of the populace is clad in T2/3. This means endless shard runs everyday. I’m starting to feel bored of it but I’ll have to persist. Toss in a few WoE raids here and there, together with a lucky die, maybe T3 pieces would start falling. Just maybe.
Next, mythical. I don’t know if I’d manage this. It’s tough getting into pick up raids when I’m usually home only one, or at most two days a week. I’d love to have it at some point instead of constantly staring at others with jealousy. Missing Leviathan and Druushk currently.
In other news, Stargrace and her two three* friends (just one at the time of this post, other is apparently having issues) moved over to Antonia Bayle yesterday. Torrent Knights is seeing some life in it again! Stargrace purchased a guild hall for it and that’s some place I would be spending a lot of time idling at in the future. I’m not a fan of hanging around town where there’s a ton of people, so the guild hall with be a nice a convenient place to do so. Tipa moved her characters over too and I’m glad they all chose to. It seems that I would be having a circle of friends around again.
*Mistake pointed by out by Stargrace, she has a total a three friends moving over. Don’t blame me, I’m not used to having so many friends to count!
