You might have noticed that it has been a bit quieter than usual around here, and very little has been done with the site in the last couple of weeks.

Not only are some of our fabulous volunteers on vacation and such, but Mum has been troubled by computer problems with her new computer that have made it difficult to get anything done work-wise, much less play-wise. (Rebooting at the drop of a hat, any hat, is not really condusive to creating/editing furniture pages, logging recipe and item info in-game, doing data entry, etc.) The final wipe and restore to the factory install was the final straw, and I am not reinsalling anything on this computer until not only has the technician replaced the graphic card that I have been suggesting is the problem all along, but I have spent a day noodling around the web. Until I am 100% positive that it is not going to reboot repeatedly, again, am I installing anything, as the next suggestion I am going to have to the Dell techs is that they admit it is a lemon and replace the whole thing so I can finally get something productive done!

Bleargh. I wonder if it accidentally falling from my second floor home office to the concrete walk would be covered under warranty? ...

June 17, 2008 - GU46?

The update notes are still not up on the patcher, nor on the SOE forums. While you are waiting for the final details, have you checked out the GU46 crafting preview? This post will be updated with the proper information once the patch notes are found.

Update: Full patch notes are now available. I am not going to re-summarize these, as the folks who want to know the information will read the above links, and the ones that don't ... won't. :)

I would also like to mention that if all goes well, at 7 Pacific this evening (Tuesday, May 17), I will be a special guest on a podcast for the Jethal Silverwing Show. If anyone wants to listen in, point your browser at http://live.onlinegamingradio.com/ogr.m3u, and it should let you fire up Windows Media player, or whatever your favorite media player is, to listen in. (And if you've the extra time, that same link is good for EQ2's-day from 4-7 pm Pacific!)

June 07, 2008 - Favorite Gaming Song?

Jethal stopped by to ask folks about their favorite gaming song. If you'd like to provide feedback, the survey is over on the Kithicor.org forums. In a related note, consider this your early warning that, if all goes well, Mum will be on Jethal's Tuesday night podcast in a couple days.

June 05, 2008 - GU46 Crafting Preview

GU46 was patched to the Test server yesterday. A you might suspect, Mum and Kaisha were over on the Test server. While we may have lost Kaisha to the World Event being tested over there, I managed to bring back a GU46 Crafting Preview for folks. Enjoy!

P.S. Please show your moral support for all the fabulous fan sites out there, and remember to vote daily in EQ2-guild's favorite fan site poll. I'm not asking for votes for the site, I'm asking for votes for any site you love. For all that, vote for a different one each day, if you can't make up your mind. But do vote, please, to show the sites that their efforts have not gone unrecognized.

June 03, 2008 - Favorite Fan Site, Revisited

A few weeks ago, we were proud to announce that we'd made it onto a favorite fan site poll over at . The results are in from that poll, and you can find them here. Wow! However, there wasn't any real logical breakdown to the categories for that poll, simply breaks due to the number of items that polling site would allow in each poll, and it made the voting kind of rough. They are now running a new poll with all the sites in one big list, and you can vote here. They are also asking for feedback on how future fan site polls should be run, and you can cast your vote for that here.

Meanwhile, on the home front, we're still chipping away at the GU45 weapon information for the database, and I hope to get a bit more out of the way before GU46 hits Test. (Check out this thread for an early preview of the crafting stuff that may make it in with GU46.
