The Ballads of Zimara expansion has been released! It will take me a few days to have up a proper article about it, but here is the placeholder for now: Ballads of Zimara Crafting & Housing Preview

November 29, 2023 - Ballads of Zimara!

The servers should unlock at noon Pacific on Wednesday (today or tomorrow, depending on when you read this) for the Ballads of Zimara expansion. This has kept me insanely busy, so I do not yet have a preview ready, nor a Frostfell preview. I am working on both, but with all that is going on, it may take a few days. At the least, I will have some quick expansion notes in the official forums tomorrow, and will echo them here as well. Meanwhile, the Patch Notes are here, beta and Frostfell video previews are on my Twitch stream for those who do not want to wait until my aching hands are behaving enough to let me do all the web page work needed for the official previews.

November 19, 2023 - Recent Eye-Candy

I recorded a bit of beta goodness recently, and forgot to post it here. Due to connection issues, the EQ2 beta furniture preview is in two parts, but I got most of it, I think: Beta furniture chunk 1 and Beta furniture chunk 2. In addition to that, I took a meander through the new Ballads of Zimara prestige house and expansion overland zones. My Twitch skills still need some polishing, but at least it gets you a look at things. Enjoy!

November 02, 2023 - Several updates

Nights of the Dead has been extended! Nights of the Dead 2023 will now end on November 6, instead of November 2.

The Heroes' Festival has been pushed back to start on November 7, and will end on November 17.

Lastly, a reminder that the 24-hour game marathon for ExtraLife is this weekend. I currently plan to start my marathon at around 10 a.m. Pacific on November 4.

October 26, 2023 - Infodump

It has been a rough fall, and the rest of the year is going to be chaotic for me on every front. This means the site is getting updated a lot less frequently than I would like, so these updates tend to cover several things in a single post.

• One house item was added after the fact to the Nights of the Dead recipe book for this year. The image of the Cage of Rattling Chains has been added to Panda, Panda, Panda 2023 article with the first five weeks of the quest included, and pictures of all the house items from all nine weeks of the decoration packs.
• The Heroes' Festival 2023 is currently on the Test server and will go live on November 3. Click the link for details on what is new this year.
• Daybreak has announced a new stretch goal for the Extra Life 2023 incentives, since we already reached our fundraising goal for the year. Read more here.
• Speaking of Extra Life, Denmum has gone pink-haired again this year in preparation for Extra Life Game Day. She will be showing it off on her Thursday night Twitch stream this week. (Oct. 26, 8 pm Pacific) Stop in then and say hello if you wish!

Is that enough? I think that's enough for one night. Time for sleep!
