I run this little MMO gaming blog but I hardly ever write on it anymore. I'm more of a bloglord or something. Thankfully I have several minions to keep things rolling along.

Giveaway: EQ or EQ2 In-Game Items – CLOSED

I have two codes from my recent issue of Beckett Massive Online Gamer magazine that may be used in Everquest for an “Aqua Goblin Familiar” or in EverQuest II for a “Nagafen at Rest”. It looks like the codes are good for either item.

I don’t play EverQuest or EverQuest II so these codes are burning a hole in my virtual pocket. If you are interested in getting one of these codes, reply to this post with something about your EQ or EQ2 adventures. The most interesting (or funny … or ANY) two responses, chosen by me, will be awarded a code. I will give the codes away tomorrow so get cracking. If nobody enters, I will burn the codes slowly and painfully until they have left this mortal realm forever. The choice is yours.

I’ve been tagged by Ysharros over at Stylish Corpse to post my sixth screen shot so I looked into my storage drive to see what was there. Asheron’s Call 2? Dungeons & Dragons Online? EVE Online? Nah.

I decided to go with my World of Warcraft folder because the 6th image in there comes right out of the end of beta event and includes three Magmadars in a place where they just don’t belong. Without any further rambling, here it is.

This is a tag-free post so relax. You may pretend I tagged you if you want to play along.

Lord of the Rings Online Static Group Update

Casualties of War Kinship members: Eostemir, Joli, Syrna, Fairley and at the end: Zuloin (Zoo-loh-in dammit!)

Level at start: most at 16.

Objectives: Finish Book 1 and then travel to Forsaken Inn to quest in that area.

Book 1: Chapter 11: Othrongroth (Map from The Brasse)

We met at Tom Bombadil’s house in the Old Forest to begin this chapter. Tom escorts us to the South Barrows and points us towards the entrance of Othrongroth. He then turns and skips away, thanks for the help Tom! On the way we fought off a couple of Dourhands and then we enter Othrongroth.

Throughout this chapter, we kept seeing the Witch-king and he would say a little something and then flee deeper into Othrongroth. Our goal was to spy on him and see what he was up to. We fought off more Dourhands and even ten rats at one point. There was quite a few ancient chests to loot here and there, but nothing spectacular was inside them. Eventually the Dourhands make way for wights. Lots of wights. Even a few creeping arms. There was a tough battle at the bottom of some stairs where Joli was defeated in battle. Thankfully old Tom was happy to escort him back to us once again.

At this point the Wight-lord Sambrog calls us down the stairs to see him. We approach him and he tells the “evil plot” (like all evil folks do) before summoning his minions to wipe us out, thus sending us to our graves with the knowledge of the “evil plot” lost forever. Too bad he wasn’t planning on our ability to be defeated not once, not twice, but three times without forgetting the “evil plot” at all.

We debated if we wanted to continue this get-defeated-run-back-strategy when who should show up to help but Zuloin (Zoo-loh-in dammit! aka Zubon) a level 15 Guardian. With his assistance we were able to finally beat Sambrog down (of course old Tom shows up at the last second for the kill-steal). We shared the “evil plan” with Tom and finished the chapter.

At this point almost all of us reached level 17 and we decided to call it a night.
