I’ve added a new page to our guild documents: the Code of Honor. These are common-sense guidelines that all guild members should be familiar with. Check it out!
We’re going to need a tie-breaker on our level 64 amenity poll to the right! If you haven’t voted already, please do so. :)
For a great run-down of the various available amenities and what they do, check out EQ2i’s Guild Hall Amenities article.
Brewday is here again! This live event starts today and runs through the 22nd. Make sure you visit your home city to pop into the Bar of Brell, and head out to Antonica to help the Avatar of Below in exchange for a new quest reward.
Check out the EQ2Players.com writeup, and drool over the new craftable items over at EQ2 Traders!
The big day is here!! EQ2′s sixth expansion Sentinel’s Fate launches tomorrow. Players who have purchased the retail box are allowed access tomorrow, while digital download buyers will gain access next week.
The EQ2 Players site and various EQ2 fansites will be covering the launch minute-by minute. Here are some resources to help get you through the server downtime and take your first steps into the new content:

How to Get Started in Sentinel’s Fate
My fellow crafters will find the EQ2 Traders’ SF Clearinghouse quite useful. It will help you make sense of all the new recipes and factions that will be available.
If you use UI mods, be sure to keep an eye on EQ2 Interface so that you can download SF-compatible mods as they are released. There are changes coming to several commonly-used windows, so you may find the list of interface changes useful when it comes to disabling older mods.
We hit level 62 last night and unlocked a new amenity for the hall! You can find Sorcha Bluebones downstairs, who will be more than happy to bind your completed collections for you!
Our next milestone is level 64, which will unlock one more amenity slot. Be sure to cast your vote in the poll to the right and choose the amenity you’d like to see purchased next!
Make sure you head to Gorowyn this week (through the 7th) to participate in the city festival. You can spend City Tokens for special goodies and collect purple shinies to earn a Gorowyn-style mailbox for your home. Don’t miss it!
To reach Gorowyn, you can take 2 routes:
1) Port to the Kylong Plains druid ring, then take the griffin from Teren’s Grasp down to Dreg’s Landing.
2) Hop on board the boat that stops at the docks in Antonica and the Commonlands. It will drop you off at the dock in Kylong Plains.
Once you’re at the KP dock, you can ring the mariners’ bell (loc 836.05, 2.43, 371.31) to be transported to Gorowyn. The quest-giver will be awaiting you at the dock, and the merchants are just inside the cave between the dock and the city.
Make sure you head over to the Green Knoll in Greater Faydark (just inside the Butcherblock Mountains zone line) to participate in EQ2′s first city festival! Each city will have its turn hosting a festival from the first to the seventh of each month, and some great city-specific quests and rewards will be offered. Make sure you head over to check it out! For a peek at some of the goodies, check out EQ2 Traders’ City Festivals guide.
I’m going to get the old posts imported tonight, and in anticipation of that, the forums are once again available. :) Go nuts!
The forums have been updated! Because a reliable way to synchronize WordPress and SMF doesn’t currently exist, I’m giving Simple:Press a go. Please bear with me as I make sure the permissions are set properly. I’m going to attempt to import the old bbPress posts very soon, so the forums are temporarily locked until then to prevent any data collisions when the import is in progress. Thanks for your patience!
I’ve found that the installation of bbPress that we’re currently using just isn’t as polished as I’d like, so I’ll be working on switching us over to SMF this evening.
I’ll be synchronizing SMF with WordPress, so your login will still be the same, although the existing forum posts may be nuked. Since there aren’t that many, I may be able to convert them manually, but please don’t be upset if they’re lost.
I’ll post another update when everything’s good to go!
