EQ Realms Search 11:00 AM

The search is on for a new webmaster at EQ Realms:

Hi there. This is Cralis, the webmaster of EQ Realms.

I am stepping down from EQ Realms, for several reasons. The biggest reason is time, I am going to be running a different site somewhere else, and will be unable to do both, and lately I have been unable to do either.

Last week I announced on EQ Realms that I was looking for someone to take over the news and events, and that I would assist them. However I have had only one response which did not seem to pan out.

So here I am asking all the EQ sites to put out the news. I am stepping down, and EQ Realms will need someone to basically run the news and expand the site. There is a lot of ideas that have been floating around, although of course you will get to run it as you see fit. I will simply remain around to help if needed, write some specific articles, and to help Thadius with Valorblade stuff.

If anyone is interested, you can mail me at cralis@eqrealms.com or to thadius@eqrealms.com.

Thanks!

Cralis
Webmaster @ EQ Realms (http://www.eqrealms.com)

Monster Island Raid Results 10:50 AM

Here are the results from Tarew Marr's Raid on Monster Island:

We started out meeting at the freeport docks as planned, and sailed on to the island of the Sisterhood of Erolsi. From here we gathered outselves together and headed for the Cyclops island!

The clopses proved to be difficult, but against our army of 30-40 people, they fell quickly and easily! We slaughtered at least 10, before sacking the pirate camp for sport! There was one casualty here when Gornit respawned and chased a mage into another clops :(

When we felt Tunare's lust for the death of her enemies was satisfied, we hunted down the great dinosaur, Allizewsaur!

Things got messy here, as many could not find the island, some fell into the water as levitate wore off and had to swim the rest of the way, lost at sea :( Eventually all but one made it to the island, who gave up from being lost and gated home . It was very hard to find for those of us not used to using /loc to find things.

Once all were there that were going to be there, we heard one of us yelling "Incoming!", and the fight began! I shouted a battlecry in Tunare's name and dug my scimitar deep into his heel! (about as high as I could reach)

It was a long battle, and he hit harder than I've ever seen (even harder than Nagfen's claws, I believe), but the army was too much for him, and we were victorious and without casualties!

All in all it was a great event, and everyone that went had a lot of fun! Below are links to the screenshots I took:

As for next week's assault... I was thinking about killing Heretics in Toxullia forest, but how bout a Mistmoore raid? Inside the castle slaughtering vampires? :)

New Ask Milo 10:40 AM

The NotCrazy site has more entries in their Ask Milo Feature:

Milo D. Cooper (who seems to be gaining a reputation for being the person to ask about sexual EQ things) has updated his Ask Milo page with a few new questions. Today Milo tackles such wonderful subjects as dealing with your own personal 'Wood Elf' and bouncing breasts... plus a few other topics. AM is our column over here at EverQuest NotCrazy where you get the chance to send a question to Verants 3d Character Artist. This puppy is more addicting than re-runs of Alf, yes it's that good! =) Err, anyway here's a rip of one of todays questions:

Milo, I have this problem. Whenever I see one of those female wood elfs, I get incredibly turned on. I mean. I literally have to excuse myself from the computer for a few minutes to deal with my "wood elf", if you know what i mean. It never fails either, it happens every time. But im so addicted to Everquest that I cant get away from the computer. Naturally, I no longer have a girlfriend to take out my "aggrivations" on. As If playing EQ all the time wasnt bad enough for her (shes never been the computer type), she found out about my wood elf problem and left me. Real women dont even turn me on anymore, only those polygonal wood elves will 'do it' for me now. Please help me Milo! What can I do?
