The clandestine Norrath/Dragonspyre connection

Norrath, the planet itself, wasn’t discovered by humans or elves or iksar or the ancient snake people or even the gods. It was discovered by the great she-dragon Veeshan, who chose this nondescript planet on which to raise her brood. She marked the planet with a swipe of her claws, claiming it as her own to all who could read her sign. Her brood, the First, and all their many descendants chose that event as their emblem, until the time when the awakened Sleeper, Kerafrym, tore the moon of Luclin apart, and in defiance of Veeshan, chose for his symbol, himself, curled in the same way, bursting the moon. Veeshan may have been content to leave her mark on some forgotten frozen continent, but Kerafrym’s mark would be laid across the entire SKY. ...

EQ2: Dragon Wars

This isn’t Veeshan’s Peak. That’s Thomas Lionblood, the Friendly Necromancer, on the left, though. If your MMO doesn’t have dragons in it, it’s just not a fantasy MMO, is it? You can take out wizards and plucky farm boys and enchanted princesses and evil kings and all that, but if you lose the dragons, well, you’ve lost me as a player. There’s just a deep need inside every person to seek out a dragon, and then kill it. Be the dragon killer – be a hero. ...

EQ2: The gladdest/saddest sight in Veeshan's Peak

I’d worked so long on the Spellborn comic – way longer than I thought, it took forever to come up with the story and then I had to go back and make tedious reshoots to fill in the plot and a long time in Photoshop to make it look like Mercy and Erisa were in the same place at the same time – that I thought I would reward myself with some EverQuest II time. I don’t play enough of my favorite game :) ...

EQ2: Raids always can use another troub...

Dream of Mirror Online got rolled back to yesterday evening. Everything I wrote about in my last post – gone, like it never happened. I suppose I shouldn’t be upset, because I still had the fun and the memory hasn’t faded, but now it means I have to level my alchemy again, do that trash quest again, make my level again, do all that gathering again… UGH. I HATE THAT. ...
