Everquest 2 and my crafting introduction

I had told myself that I needed a break from crafting after a recent stint in another MMO, but when I decided to give Everquest 2 a try so did I decide to go back to the world of crafting. I had heard that I could craft a lot of different items early in the game and that the system itself was complicated enough to keep you interested but not overwhelming. A big thanks to my son here for getting sick and keeping me home from work last week as I am now a level 18 Outfitter.

I am choosing to truncate this post because I have a feeling its going to be fairly large and I don’t want it wallpapering the front page of the blog. More available after the link.

Site changes and two year molars

You can thank my son and his daycare for the writeup I am in the process of putting togetherHappy Tooth this morning.  It would seem that his two year molars are coming in a bit early and with those a nice little fever.  When he gets sick like this we just try to keep him calm and full of fluids with a heavy dose of napping and Disney shows.  Because of this I was able to spend a lot of time playing EQ2 and I got fairly deep into the crafting.  Expect a decent writeup of the 1-18 experience later today or early tomorrow morning.

Also, if you stop by the site rather than getting your feed through a RSS reader, you might notice I changed the theme of the site.  I had originally wanted a theme that supported the three column layout, but for some reason didn’t see this one before.  I think its a nice change and I like how it plots my Bio page on the right.  I would expect some things to evolve in the coming week as I get more time to spend looking at it.  Eventually I would like to get my own domain and hosting but for now I can’t argue with the pricing at WordPress.
