For those that stop by here infrequently, and perhaps for those few who stop here often, you may have noticed scarce activity on my thoughts and progress on my many hobbies at the Emerald Tablet.
Alas, I have been stuck in the world of Everquest II all summer and have toiled and wasted hours journeying in the world of Norrath. It was not a bad little excursion and I had allot of fun. One of the greatest accomplishments for me was finally reaching the end game on multiple characters. Up until this last expedition into Everquest II, I had never had the focus to complete a quest or stay on one character. I have dozens of characters in Everquest II, but none had ever reached 80th level (the maximum level as of this time).
Recently I found some interesting ways of staying focus and more importantly finishing quests that I started. Within short order, I had nine 80th level characters — Yes, can you believe that. I also found myself rather rich, with over 400 platinum coins. Sure there are others that have more 80th level characters and many that have thousands of platinum, but for me this was the “Jumping of the Shark”, or otherwise known as the beginning of the end.
Hopefully I will return to more writing and less game playing. My eyes are set on playing a couple of months of Champions Online, and then eventually returning to Everquest II in March of 2010 with the release of their next expansion.
In the mean time, I am still trying to sell my novel, “Amish Johnson and the Pegasus Chamber” as well as finish my many RPGs that I have been working with on and off since 1979!
So much to do, and so little time.
