I made an attempt to help newer players with some videos if you didn't feel like reading the walls of text.  I haven't had a chance to make new content for a long time, but I hope one day I can revisit it.  Sorry you're not having a great time here.  It really is a lot of fun if you give it a chance.

This looks awesome!

I feel bad seeing posts like this because I'm contributing to the problem.  I think I'm approaching nearly a year since I was active on the server.  Population issues were a big concern then, so I don't know why I felt it would be different now.  It's hard to keep people interested in a game over 20 years old.  I agree another GM could help bring attention back to the server.  On the evenings AKka or Rent (or Hateborne for that matter) would hang out with us it always kept me online longer and felt more engaging, especially if we got some updates or Q&A.

The YouTube page was an attention to help draw people in, and even that has been neglected by me due to life events.  Long story short, lots of good stuff, desk broke in a move and never set up my computer.  When things settle down, I want to be back on the server and back to making videos, but I think all of us have that same mindset.... mostly.

Yep, doesn't really matter much.  You can even race change later on for 5 EZ Credits.

Glad you liked the videos!  I really need to get back on those and finish the series.

So sad to hear.  I didn't know her well but she was always pleasant when I talked with her.  Definitely a great of EZ Server 

Ouch, but i'm sure they will sort it

Really all those x-mas weapons should be server wiped, was a cool idea at the time, but outdated now, as real UW's pretty much a requirement
Just my 2 cents =)

I wasn't a fan of them at the time, as I was working my ass off for my UW and someone got a Goblin UW a few levels higher than mine without even starting their UW quest.  When I got that bow on my Paladin I just shrugged and left it in my ranged for the stats until I replaced it around T10.

I also noticed under my completed quests that the Qvic Quest is in there.  If it's a single time completion quest, if it can be removed from Pallywin's quest log that might do the trick too.

I was prepping my paladin, Pallywin, to get the first 7 UWs.  When I went to do my first combine, everything poofed and I was given an error that I already have this lore item.  Perplexed, I checked my inventory and didn't find a UW in my bag.  Chieftain pointed out my Paladin has a Christmas 2015 Goblin UW VII bow that I forgot about.  Just taking a shot in the dark, I tried turning in the bow to the Essence Trader, but he wasn't interested in changing weapon types.  I destroyed Hateborne's Christmas Special Bow of Noot Butthurt to prevent a sequel of stupidity. Accepting the responsibility of being an idiot, I started farming another 100 Qvic essences.

After grinding and trading I got 100 essences and started the process again.  I tried to restart the Qvic Essence quest, but the Essence Trader won't give me the quest.  I tried zoning and relogging, but he still won't give me the quest.  I even tried the #claim just to see if maybe it moved the lost items, but also nope.

I'm not asking to be reimbursed for my screw up, but at this point I can't start my Paladins UW due to a potential single use quest.  My plea to Akka or Rent is, if possible, for either to trade my 100 Qvics in my bags for the 100 Essences of Qvic version?  I'm totally cool with a sneaky Tooth Fairy switch-a-roo.  It makes total sense to not allow someone to do the quest twice to prevent people from accidently doing a bulk turn in on a weapon that is lore, but in this instance, I played myself and now I'm stuck.  

Screenshot provided of my moment of shame.

Plane of Dragons
You may now right click any crystal to summon a random T1/T2 boss at the tiki's, much like the HoH tokens work.

Please, sir, I can only be so erect.

I agree.

Always having to kick raid members before I can do it.

I've only seen him twice.  First time was after about 5 hours of portals, the second time was after about 8 hours of portals.  Never dropped a soul for me.  I just simply don't have the time to invest into that, so I ended up trading for my Sharpclaw soul.  There has been a few times where I would spend upwards of 15 hours hitting every single portal (recurring 15 minute timer on my phone) and nothing at all. 

Also.... GSS's.  Wtf.  I know they should be rare but for the love of god, I haven't seen one in forever and I'm keeping almost all camps clear anytime I'm on.  Please have mercy.

Finally, another video has been uploaded.  Once I finish up T10 ill dedicate more time to the YouTube channel.  131 Subscribers!  Woohoo!

Epic 3.0 Quest

Desperately trying to wrap up T10 before the next thing starts.  Although a DL would help the extreme lack of GSS

I know Akka and Rent are both super busy, so I just appreciate the server running smoothly.  Let us not forget the Halloween/Christmas Lag-O-Thons.

I was working on the Blackburrow and T10 Wiki pages and noticed the Blackburrow map was missing.  Fixed that.

Blackburrow

Is your faction high enough?  I don't remember if the patterns become visible when the faction unlocks or if they're visible but not allowed for purchase until faction is met.

"Hidden Dungeons" Dranik from the Miner and the T7 Stonehive dungeon don't have lockouts at all.  You can run it over and over again.  The hive shard payouts are pretty low.  The T7 dungeon goes pretty quick if you're geared, but after about 20 runs it gets a bit mind numbing.

I just miss the essence farming every 3 days.  Easy boost for Dminors/Godsmajors.

Thanks, Noot.

I ran this the other day and saw there was no lockout. A lot of my info was gathered from the Wiki just trying to piece together my plans, and on the Wiki this shows as only being able to be completed once every 24h so that's what I was going off of. Guess I'll be spending some time farming Dranik. I can imagine they're both pretty mind numbing though, when I ran Dranik it definitely wasn't very exciting. At 8 shards per it'll get pretty dull. I'm not sure if the DMinors/Majors/GMinors/Majors still drop or not either, but maybe I was just unlucky on my previous run.

Good call out.  I corrected the Wiki.
