Shattering of Ro Expansion Release!

November 18, 2025 - Shattering of Ro Livestream
First, yes, there are still issues with the site, especially with editing anything other than the front page, but we are still here, and still trying to sort things out in between some massive Real Life stuff. I am sorry it is not where we would like it to be. :(
Meanwhile, however, there is a developer-run livestream for Shattering of Ro happening in a few minutes, and our very own House Ogre, Ngreth, will be part of it.

October 23, 2025 - Sorry
I am sorry for the long radio silence. While the sites are up, I know not everything is behaving as it should. In a perfect world, Ngreth would have been able to get everything fixed and behaving pretty quickly, and I would be back to posting event previews and more on the EQ2 side of things. The world is far from perfect, and 2025 keeps kicking us while we are down. There has been lots of real-life chaos going on, starting with having to had move my (hopefully) final surgery to deal with some post-cancer complications forward three months - making me in recovery at the start of expansion beta. Family injuries and illnesses, an ill computer, death in the family, and much more are also in the mix for our families, and we are just running on fumes. The sites are important to us, but we just have nothing more in our energy tanks right now.
I am recovering from the surgery, and will be back to work in about a week and a half, but my energy levels will be at a new low due to everything. With that in mind, I will NOT be doing a 24-hour gaming marathon for Extra Life day on November 8. I will be streaming a bit on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of that weekend, plus doing some small Twitch stream before then to make sure I got all my streaming settings correct on the new PC. I will not push hard, though, as there would be unhappy irony in stressing my own health while trying to raise money for sick kids.
Every year I see one or more people trolling on the forums, trying to turn the perspective on the Extra Life charity into some sinister scam. It isn't. Extra Life is a gamer-led fundraising arm of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH). It is a valid charity and can be claimed as a charitable donation on U.S. income taxes. Many employers have a matching gifts program for it as well. None of the money goes to those doing the fundraising. Instead it is funneled to designated CMNH. In my case, it is earmarked for Radys Children's Hospital in LaJolla, CA. I have been raising funds for them via this charity for years, and hope to continue to support it in every way that my health will allow for many years to come. ~Mum

Signs of life! The sites are (partly) recovered from their dirtnap, and Mum is (partly) recovered from her surgery. More time is needed for both, and we thank you for your patience and support as we continue to recover.

July 22, 2024 - Extra Life 2024
Extra Life has named Daybreak Games as their 2023 partner of the year. For those of you unfamiliar with Extra Life, it is an American and Canadian charity that has gamers raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, allowing us to "play it forward" to help sick kids. It is a phenomenal charity, and in November I will once again be participating in a 24-hour Extra Life gaming marathon. Also again this year, EverQuest and EverQuest II have in-game incentives for those who donate as well as those who fundraise, stream, etc. Information on the EverQuest incentives can be found here. Information on the EverQuest II incentives can be found here. While it is not necessary that you sponsor me your 2024 donation must be made to someone listed on the Darkpaw Games Extra Life roster in order to qualify for the rewards. Anyone doing so at any time during 2024 will qualify, though the rewards will not be granted until late in the year.
