Empires of Kunark – And So It Begins !

We were told there are two raids to start this expansion with; a easy one, and a hard one.

So we started obviously with the harder one, and at first, it was a challenge, but a couple of days to learn the event was all it took.

Although I hesitate to say its on the farm list, we need to redo it many times for flagging

After giving a great big dragon a well deserved hug for reminding us what DKP stands for, we rounded off the night, and took a reduced raidforce to look at Droga

Even though it was almost midnight, we came close to beating it on our first attempt !, I guess it really is the easier raid.

Expect to see this rather lackluster event beaten very soon, and added to the rotation

Edit: 1 day later

Yeh we beat the Goblin event as expected, but im not doing another news update for that shitty raid.

Also, I managed to be dead on the win, so your picture for it is “unusual”…

Hiya all Pikey fans. Seems it is that time of the year again. It’s new expansion time. YAY………….

Greetings Norrathians,

‘Tis the season to talk about our next expansion for EverQuest! The team has been working hard this year to manage the ongoing progression and event server updates, big server-side updates to improve stability, as well as toiling away on our new content-focused expansion this November. Speaking of the expansion…

While we are still in the throes of development, we are thrilled to announce we are returning to a much-loved continent of Norrath! Prepare for EverQuest: Empires of Kunark! We’ve got a new look for Sarnaks (perhaps an illusion for some?!), new zones like Scorched Woods, Chardok: War March, Lceanium, Droga, Kor’Sha, new monsters, armor, weapons, items and more!

It’s been many years since we’ve set our eyes on Kunark and there are many stories to discover. At the beginning of October, look for announcements regarding expansion features, for pre-orders to become available, and news about when you can join us in the beta. The launch of EverQuest: Empires of Kunark is scheduled for November.

Also on the horizon, we’ll be unlocking Luclin on Phinigel server on September 28th 2PM PDT.  Ragefire and Lockjaw also have some expansion votes coming in October and November.

As we start cooling down for fall and prepare for EverQuest: Empires of Kunark, we’ve got a few promotions for you too:
•This weekend we kick off a 40% off sale for members from September 1st 12PM PDT through September 6th 12PM PDT as well as Double Experience for everyone!
•Starting this weekend, EverQuest: The Broken Mirror will be on sale at 50% off September 1st 12PM PDT through October 5th 12PM PDT. Note that option to purchase the Collector’s or Premium Edition of EverQuest: The Broken Mirror won’t be available after pre-orders for EverQuest: Empires of Kunark begin in October.
•Also, throughout October and November until expansion launch we’ll be running bi-weekly bonuses, like experience boosts, reduced lockouts, increased rare spawns, and more.

There is plenty more to come, so keep an eye out for more news and announcements soon. As always, we are grateful to all of our dedicated and thriving EverQuest players!

Sincerely,

Holly “Windstalker” Longdale

Expect more news updates here soon. See how high up the rankings we can get in the new expansion when it finally arrives.

Have a good time all and be good to each other. 🙂

Strong to the Core

Since “beating” the expansion several months ago, and with nothing more to do other than farm raids until the next expansion,

D’Pikeys like many similar guilds turned their attention towards Achievements.

Many achievements came to us very easy, several you have to work at to not obtain them !

We crossed them off one by one,  until eventually a few weeks ago, we were down to three more difficult targets.

Akkapan Fast – Uncursed! – Strong to the Core

The Mouse and Anashti gave up their achievements after a few attempts, which left one.

---

Tonight marked the server first winning of the last of these – Strong to the Core.

I was told that it was virtually impossible, but it only took 6 million DPS from our Raidforce.

So eventually, our achievements looked like this

     

Beating this gave us the final piece of the puzzle to gain a pretty decent augment.

I guess the strong will only get stronger.

And I guess we look forward to doing all the achievements again for the unfortunate guildmembers who missed any.

until next time…
