When it comes to massively multiplayer games there’re those that dip their toes in the pond and play an hour here or an hour there, and those that dive right in immersing themselves in their games of choice, making it a hobby in its own right. I’m most definitely in the later category. Sure, I’ve dabbled in Fallout 3 and I still routinely slaughter Christian Turks with my Hin-Jew Celts in Civilization 4 (the two largest empires in my current campaign), but, by and large, when I’m able to game, I fire up EverQuest 2 and start putting virtual pointy objects into gnolls, orcs, beasts from the void … or dragons.
Ballads, my Ratonga Dirge went on a pre-Tier 8 dragon-slaying spree with a couple of guildies relatively recently and while both of these dragons would have been far too difficult to handle had my cohort not been well geared and mentored down, nevertheless we had an absolute hoot. After each kill, I decided to take a few screenies to mark the occasion.
First up, Cyenadros, Lord of the Sanctum!
Next on the docket, it’s Darathar!
After bagging, Darathar I returned to my benefactor, the Red Lord, Nagafen who gifted our intrepid adventurer with the Prismatic Swiftblade of Scale!
Dragons beware, the indefatigable Ballads is taking the hunt to you with his Glowstick of DOOM!
I’m not sure what’s scarier, those dragons or that rat. Congrats on the glowstick. Now all you need is a rave and you’re all set.
