Events for Everyone!

Things have been busier during the week lately then I’d like, but c’est la vie I suppose! I’ve been bogged down with a lot of work, and when your work includes playing video games that can eat into your spare time very quickly (see all that Aion time I clocked in? Yep, all for work). I’m excited about the latest EQ2 event that should be starting at 5pm EST today. Apparently void shards are going to be dropping randomly in chests – and I don’t know anything more then that at the moment. I don’t know if it will drop from level 1 chests (if you’re mentored for example) or if it will be level 50+ or level 80+ or how it will work. I don’t know what the drop rate will be, or if they’ll only come from instances.

What I do know, is that I need at least 100 shards in order to upgrade T1 to T3 that has been sitting in my bags collecting dust for the past little while, and I’m hoping that they drop with enough frequency to make this announcement worth while. The event goes on from today until the 2nd of November, and I hope it also entices some people who have been feeling a little ‘blah’ about EQ2 to continue playing. We’ll see.

It’s Friday, and I hope to get a lot of gaming in but we’ll just have to see! Happy gaming no matter where you find yourself. Don’t forget to turn clocks back an hour (fall back, see how that works?) on Sunday, and NaNoWriMo also starts the first of November!

Good luck to everyone!
