After the servers went down and made the game unplayable in the evening I took a break from EQ2 to play some WoW and then decided I wanted to go back to EQ2 and I ended up having the most fun I've had with the game in awhile. I guess you could call me an achiever because I really wanted to make lvl 18 and finish this writ I had that involved killing skeletons in Stormhold.
I managed to finish them both. The stormhold one was more fun though for me at least because I could take the skeletons myself if we were 1 on 1, but I'd die if I got an add. So it was fun sneaking my way through a lot of Stormhold searching for a lone defiled squire that I could kill. I died a few times but eventually completed it and I have to say that I really enjoyed being able to do it on my own.
Right now we're interviewing Dr. Steinkuehler in EQ2 and it certianly a little livelier (at least in-game) than our interview with Dr. Bartle. I think part of that stems from the class being more comfortable with the format of the interview and the interface. Looking around at the people in the room though I can sense a slight amount of boredom. Interesting though that hardly anyone is talking in the classroom and we're all chatting away in-game. Hah, imagine the future of online courses taking place is virtual classrooms that are made to look like stereotypical desks/chairs/chalkboard type of thing. The crazy thing is the technology is available and I'm sure someone could make it.
Funny stuff.
