With work, I havent had just a whole lot of opportunity to log in over the last week or so. I figured I would go ahead and tell about what all I have managed to accomplish though.

Last week a new outpost appeared near one of the player settlement towns. A bunch of crafters got together and built it up, while a bunch of fighters kept them safe. I went out for one of these fights close to the completion of the outpost and soundly had my tail handed to me. Logged in a couple days later to find it complete and there to be quests to be done. I started in on them...and one is just plain nuts. The things it has me fighting are tough as nails, you have to have a group smart enough not to run out into the middle of the mobs to make it out there. And some of them rez one another. There is one there that is great for the fans of the movie Office Space. The character that starts it is named "Lhumberg" and has you taking the new Tazoon Prostecting Service (or T.P.S.) reports to someone else. There are quite a few references in that quest, I got a kick out of it.

The next part of the Ancient Rite of Passage was released...I think by accident. It starts off not telling you where you need to go, just says to hurry that the spirit is waiting on you. It took some time and some bouncing between places, but I finally finished that part. Looks like all I am waiting for now is to travel into the Rift to finish everything up.

Also jumped on Edinar for a bit for a guild/allience lowbie hunt. 3 of us got on our lower fighting characters and we went out with a new character and just attacked about everything we could. Needless to say, we died a few times. But it was a lot of fun.

Other than that, I have done a little crafting with both Edinar and Denrath. Obsidian Order owns most of the settlement Acul on Order. They are some big plots too, so Ed has lots of weaving to do. A few of the buildings have already been finished up out there. Den has been chugging away at crafting. 15 more levels and I will likely stop all that with him. We will see.
