Destination Apocalypse
Yo everyone. We finally have a website update, it’s a Christmas miracle. So here I go again, weaving a web of intricate excuses for why the website update is late and/or maintaining the position that it isn’t actually that late so I don’t look like the slacker we all know that I am. Well this time I am owning up to it. Yep, it’s time to be a man and lay in the bed I made. This website update is very late. Very late. We can discuss just how very late..soon, but first let’s get into the nuts and guts of this thing.
All we had left to do in The Darkened Sea to secure another #1 serverwide finish was jump through the repetitive and arbitrary hoops of the flagging system in order to get to the much unanticipated fifth and final event, Confronting Calix, and defeat it. Even when an expansion sucks gorilla nuts, which this one surely does, I’m always hopeful the final event will be something worth working towards. I’m always hopeful that the final event will be challenging and new or at least have a final boss that looks cool. Confronting Calix had neither of these. Since I’ve done exactly zero research and reading regarding the lore in this expansion, I have no idea how Calix managed to buddy up with our old friend Lanys T’Vyl but here she is…again…back at the end of another expansion…again. Excuse me, I need to go change my pants – I just pissed myself with excitement and probably sarcasm.
Continuing on, the event itself was nothing special which isn’t very surprising or disappointing; you get used to that sort of thing. What I found delightful was whoever is in charge over there at SoE for coming up with the big “you just beat the expansion” post-event finale has the same level of enthusiasm for Lanys T’Vyl’s part in this saga as we do:
Something tells me that bitch is going to go all wrister-sister and kill herself for losing…again. Speaking of ‘again’, I want to once again congratulate my Realm of Insanity misters and sisters for another serverwide #1 expansion finish, further establishing us as The Best Guild in the Universe. Here is the loot we excavated from the excrement; click for stats! Oo la la!
Now if you read our last update, nothing about that second to last image seemed out of the ordinary. If you didn’t read our last update, then you might be wondering what the fuck is up with the afro-saurus sporting some mean aviators and smoking a stogie. Well that’s just our buddy, Reggie Washington. Reggie is an imaginary dinosaur that appeared one day to save us from the boredom and drudgery of The Darkened Sea. You can find Reggie slangin’ rock on his block down at Thuliasaur Island. And while Reggie may be imaginary, I assure you that he keeps it very real. How real does Reggie keep it? Well SoE recently send out a customer satisfaction survey asking you to take 5 minutes of your time and give them feedback about The Darkened Sea expansion. 5 minutes? Reggie ain’t got no time fo’dat. So Reggie came up with his own survey which is really quite simple:
- EverQuest’s monumental 21st expansion which features several new zones, a level-cap increase, and must-have in-game items.
- An imaginary dinosaur named Reggie Washington.
Take a second to cast your vote below. You can check back in a few weeks for the results which we will share here, there and everywhere. In the meantime, from all most of us here at Realm of Insanity, have a happy holiday. We love you.
