Well!
I Autothumbnailed these due to the fact that I am lazy and at the same time want the page to load sometime in this lifetime! Check out our guild discussion group at http://pub19.ezboard.com/ballianceofmagicandsteel.
OK that got out of control quick so I am putting in some bookmarks.
30 September 2000
1 November 2000
A bunch of us waiting for the Ancient Cyclops to appear. I *STILL* have not seen this lad. Here is the guy who gave me my Eboots! Of course we had to kill him to get them. I won the roll. (I almost fainted.) Skykat bothering a spectral curate in Karnor's Castle. Here is a portrait of the Emperor, who kindly gave us all keys to his city. Here is a group portrait! I managed to catch Bruneor just as
he "makes a rude gesture" to the Emperor, while sitting on his throne. Same pic, no names, no gesture. ;) Everfrost - Here comes an Ice Giant and he is mad. :) Poor IG. Trakanon's Teeth - The group that invaded Sebilis. The globe has moving patterns of red glow. Very cool looking. TT - The same bunch, but with names turned on. Dreadlands - I jumped off the spires in DL for this night-time shot. Pretty, eh? Lorax lived. Burning Wood. Fun to whack. One of the Ancients very generously gave Pacer his jacket. Frontier Mountains. Run Sinneed Run! A caster with SoW answered Sinneed's question very shortly after this shot. ROFL Frontier Mountains. Looking the other way, a better view. The Overthere. Favored prey, until Sarnaks stopped having too many hitpoints. Trakanon's Teeth. Nice place. Exp seems a bit slow, but The Overthere and
Dreadlands have spoiled me. TT - What a big chicken you have there Skykat! Emeral Jungle. The pets attack! These things were wimps. The pets ate them. Of course if one caught up to me when I was pulling it...well you know which is wimpier: NPC anything or a wizzie. Hmm. Bruneor's favorite gesture. See Wenda, Sky can be trained. "Play Dead!" I had heard about the goblin merchant and the goblin banker since I started EQ. Sure was neat to see them. The banker worked with us but the merchie did not like us. :( Thought this was such a fine shot of an IG taking a nuke that I had to put it in. Bruneor finally shows a little respect. Luckily the text box is turned off so you
can't see the /rudes. :) Warhogg with prod, and the mob of us waiting for something to kill. Splat. Dead Wurm. A Wyvern. Not the Ancient one. The cool globe. If you click and hold on it, it stops. No one knows why yet, as far as I know. Hehe OK Pacer, loot that! Actually he managed to loot it just before I got to it. I ran off the hill with Lev and SoW and managed to get on TOP of the tree. Fun. A herd of MOB's in Sebilis. Hehe what a fight! By the time we finished there were about 12 MOB's dead on the floor. The amazing thing was how close the fight got, but I don't think we lost even 1 person. Zazamoukh becoming dead. Note this was our first attack (pet is up). Lvl 40 Enchanter. Dies fast to 2 50's shammies. Faster if you toss in a blaster. ;) This was such a hilarious bug. These are in Rathe Mountain, in the HG area, just down from the lizardman camp. Inside the Sarnak Fortress in Chardok. The MOBs are casters and will knock you off the bridge and into a bunch of mean MOBs below...if you survive the fight and the fall. Skykat bit the big one here. Lev, I think. :) The golems are supposed to rarely drop nice wisdom ring and earring. Not for us, though. Lorax wants to go. :) A view of the Sarnak fortress in Chardok. View is from the location of the fight, above. Zone in hallway is to the right in this image, zone out hallway is to the left. Wanderers spawn in both halls. Be aware! I cast sight on Skykat and shot this portrait from the balcony of the fortress. Sky was standing just to the left of the column in the view above. The pleasant Necro in the center of the view summoned Skyrat's corpse. Very nice of her. The SK in the background here and on the right above shared very nicely. This Janisary died just as I took the screenshot. :) I turned particle effects on, just to see what it looks like if you have a FAST system. Looks good, but unplayably slow for me. :) Notice the dead Golem sticking out of the wall. Same view without the clutter. Hunting the elusive (STILL never seen the lad) Ancient Cyclops. But we had a great time and a MAGNIFICENT sunset. Well worth it. Hehe the loot doen't suck either. It got really cold in Everfrost this year. ;) Perma, too! Chaser has you beat in the Biggest Chicken category. The DL dragon. She is apprehensive toward Sinneed now...and she hates wolf form. Her aggro radius is *HUGE*. Presently, she can melee from a LONG LONG way off, too. Her breath spell seemed to do about 600 to Lorax, and she feared him when he had SoW and Lev...made it about half way accross the zone. He lived. Monkey swimming accross the Dreadlands. Too funny to pass up. REALLY good reason not to teleport with an Ogre. Mean plant in TT. "How am I gonna get to THAT?!" Headed in to see Vox. Frontier Mointain Giant Fortress. Lovely really. Pacer in his normal form. This was during our hunt for rares in FM. Burning Woods. Gullerback disliked cold damage spells, even yellow I often hit for full damage. He shrugged off my fire and magic attacks, as expected. He is quite rude. "He's dead, Jim!" Bars sent this shot of a wurm becoming worm corpse. Burning Wood. One third of a wurmslayer, on the hoof, or claw as the case might be. :) How I spent my vacation. Thedoc res'ed me 4 or 5 times as I recall. Prout only had to summon my corpse 2 times as I recall though. People on the Plane of Sky run. Our first victim. Something attracted the guards, though, and we lost. The guards mentioned above, headed home after whacking someone who offended them. You must not cast on another PC, or on certain NPC's. You won't win. Another shot, showing more completely WHY you won't win. They are lvl 58 or so, I am told. Be nice...or else.
The outside of the entry to the disco room. The entry to the disco area. The disco room in Sebilis. Hear no evil, see no evil...and...um...Bruneor. ;) Bars sent this Barb's-eye view of zazamoukh. The human-related races can't see as much, but OMG what they see sure is beautiful.
27 September 2000 - My RL anniversary, 14 years with the best person in the world! After the Run. Drunk, I took these shots. Good use of the wide angle lens of extreme "you cannot possibly take another drink" drunkeness. Hate Run September 2000 A haunted chest, getting nuked by several blasters. :) I kept forgetting to get into melee range of these to nuke them. DUH! I cast sight on the pullers. This is one of the VERY few times this was actually a useful spell. Fun always, but here I could watch the puller's back. This is the Maestro's lair. Same image, but with the brightness turned up. I only died one (1) time. I am told by experts that only dieing 1 time on one's first hate raid is pretty rare. Hats off to Skykat and the rest of the team too. The only reason I died here is that I underestimated the amount of time the MoB would live before I nuked. Ooops. Our 2nd puller and his trainee, Pathwarden came up, and took our excellent SK handbag i mean Iksar along to learn. They did very well. Our first puller. It was Lumpin's first Hate run. I thought he was doing quite well til I learned that...then I realized he was doing AMAZINGLY! Pleasant fellow, too. Random shots of the view as he pulled. This one is interesting. Lumpin is just a head of the Lich. The Lich will see through his invis momentarily. This is one of those times when I was actually useful. "Lich RIGHT BEHIND YOU> INC!" More shots. After we moved to the "safe spot", and as our numbers were dwindling. The "Southwest corner safe spot." It is sorta SW and sorta safe, in that no roamers come there...but you must stay knotted up like we are in the image above. Forming up in Lesser Faydark. The Spam was too bad to form up in Greater Faydark. Moving from the zone in room to the SW corner? The zone in room, after our 1 and only mass death there. This was very contrary to "expert" opinion. I did not think it would matter, I expected to die repeatedly, as I was a Hate newbie. Ah well, in this I was glad to be disappointed. :) Fighting an Ashenbone Drake in the zone-in-room. Building 1 on the map we use. This is kinda funny. I have zoned into Kedge 2 times. CauldronBubble showed up both times. View out of an Iksar mouth. Hehe. On the ledge. Jumping Out Of The Plane Of Sky
Umm, Skykat, Bro, We have GOT to talk! ;) Thank you for the image, Mogo. Taylia, need any salt for that foot? Maybe some help pulling it out of your mouth? ;) Poor Stick. :( A Self-report by Taylia.
Necro camping the Necro that guards the portal. Preping for Fear outside the portal. I learned you can bind safely at the rock, there. You can also get INSIDE the rock, which is fun. :) Fear Run to the SW corner. We have decided, I think, to head North next time. Ester the Test to the Rescue! Ester the Tester, take 2 The only sightseeing shot I was able to get. Man is that fire wall beautiful! Gotta go back!
Sometimes the MoBs have have a bad day too. I finally got into the building with the hermit. They definitely nerfed this. Go Guards! Three guards wore him out. He kept trying to heal...but they kept interrupting him. He got one CH off. Go Ratman! :) Proper preparation for dwarf. Hehehe, Poor HG, up a tree, thank you, thank you, 43. Stewed Lizard! Sinneed the Block Head. :) Sightseeing trip to PoF. Too bad we could not put a group together, there were still a few MoBs up. I was so wasted I could barely type. The firewall in PoF! Smack 'im LOR! Pow tried out his AE in Guk. Hehe. Whatalotta corpses! |
