{| style="width: 100%;" Good morning, everyone! In honor of Pokemon next week:

I haven't played those games in forever, but they were always fun (just repetitive after the nth generation :P). The originals were released (in Japan) around my birthday in '96...aaaaaand then I had to wait until '98 to get my copy. Torture. :) Anyway, in WS news, my Engineer can finally proceed past Ellevar. I enlisted SyKho's help last night to delve into three Explorer-gated areas of the zone and then managed to find the last challenge for 100% completion. Thank you SyKho (Sheae)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes I'm too much of a completionist for my own good. There was nothing preventing him from moving on...except that last 2% completion that my brain wouldn't accept. :rolleyes:

I think Farside's Biomes were my favorite areas in the game when I was on a PvP server. With so many hiding places for gankers and tight mob density, those areas were some of the only ones where I ever actually felt like I was in danger. Add to that the necessity of sneaking into the enemy faction's base to complete the zone's lore collections, and I thought it was by far one of the most immersive areas of the entire game. I never realized that the lower-tier thickets were level-gated. I got really lucky and got multiple elite thickets out of my boom boxes and bought an extra one off the AH for dirt cheap. Apparently the lack of a level gate is one of the benefits.

I'll be stopping to vote on my way home from work. I have a meeting tonight at the same spot where I have to go to vote anyway. Grats on the second attunement. From what I understand, the hookahs are a marginal profit, but when you can set an addon like Hephaestus to make a gazillion of them while you're AFK... Someone also mentioned that a lot of people are hoarding materials in anticipation of making a profit from the rune re-roll items.

"Magic is simply something that science cannot yet explain." I wish I remembered where that quote comes from. Google failed me.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Now I wish I hadn't read the spoilers. :D But, it'll still be fun to see how they get to the big reveal. I guess that means I might need to actually do something in Blighthaven, though, so there's some level of continuity. :rolleyes:

What are you looking at me for? I'd go out on a limb and say yes and no. We know a lot about weather. But no one can really explain Earthquake Lights in the sky. In fact, Earthquake lights were a myth until recently. No one thinks its magic though.

Depending on what type of event you decide on, I'm willing to help out if I'm free on the day you pick.

No, with that group, the "solve the world's problems" and philosophical conversations don't need to be artificially induced. :P

ThaydFest II (in the Spring) is tentatively scheduled right now but it's waaaaaay too early to be doing anything with it yet. We'll kick off planning and preparation in earnest about six weeks before the event. The reason for waiting so long between them is just to give everyone a break (and because of holiday season). It is a *lot* of work to plan an event of that size and then pull it off, and the guilds involved need time to go focus on their own members, relax, and build back up before the next one. That said, I love the idea of your event and I thin you should go for it! I'm sure the Kickers and other Dominion guilds will jump in and help out. More community events is *never* a bad thing. Who knows, I might even get my Dominion character up to 14 so she can come lurk at your event ;)

Can't wait!

It sort of depends on the explanation:
