Thanks Sev!

I mentioned to Elyssia earlier in-game that with all the new Frostfell furniture this year, I can see myself redoing bits of the guild hall (again)…I won’t be able to resist the ice-themed room dividers and such!

P.S.

I forgot to mention that Seagoat has done an amazingly awesome job with our guild hall. It’s a sight to behold

To add to the temptation …

The new TSO expansion has scalable instances from 50-80 in Lavastorm, Commonlands and Everfrost (nine total). Many of the encounters now have scripts and other ‘tricks’ similar to what you might find in a raid environment. They are much, much tougher than the ‘old land’ dungeons that were never scaled to take into account the relative increase in character power from the AA lines and the buffed up master crafted gear. You can also level insanely fast if you choose to do these days (you can however turn off combat, quest and discover experience if you wish.) If that isn’t enough level 50+ crafters also have access to more crafting content via the expansion (which I have yet to even explore!)

The alliance we are in is filled with friendly and helpful folks as well. We ran a very cool but very long ‘vampire’ instance in Loping Plains last night. The good news is that all of the zones are persistent — you can come back later and leave off where you ended.

Crag – Well, not to tempt you even more, but you haven’t seen the Guild Hall yet, and Seagoat has been decorating it for Frostfell. LOL. Sev and Elyssia are playing a lot these days, and the Halasian Empire has joined an Alliance of guilds so there’re more folks available to group with.

I’m getting the itch to wake up Denat again. I really like EQ2 and there is so much of it I still want to adventure in but its just not a game I can play solo in for too long. I’d just love to be able to visit my Halasian Empire friends.
With WAR and LOTRO though I just don’t think I can really find time to do so at the moment.. it is tempting though

We’re mostly Qeynosians, I guess, but we have both “good” and “evil” characters in the guild. There’s some kind of Guild Hall Doorway you can buy to teleport into the guild hall from ‘the other side’ without traveling through the city, and really once you’re in the guild hall you’re golden. Bank, broker, vendor, all the tradeskill machines… all in one big room!

Dude, that screenshot is pretty sweet.

I also enjoy the crafting in EQ2, and you’re right about it being a relaxing activity, at least most of the time.

Right now my beserker is in the process of gaining positive faction for the city of Qeynos in order to become a citizen. I should have asked if you guys are Queynosians or Freeporters.
