In case you somehow missed it, Gamespy did interviews with Jeff Anderson (CEO of Turbine) and with Jason Booth (ultra-cool Turbine Dev) about the upcoming AC Sequel! I was lucky enough to see some previews of AC2 artwork when I was at the player luncheon last July! Thanks to Dawn Under and the generosity of Turbine, I was able to snag some exclusive pics regarding PvP, Housing and Combat! After seeing the video trailers they've released (here and here), I am simply amazed at how far they've come!

Did I say BEST PATCH EVER? A new recipe has been discovered, thanks to Mats and some willing testers in Mayoi. Letters updated with a tale of the discovery of Carrot Cake Soup! Items added to the Fever Dreams patch page as well.

February 21, 2002
Portal Storm page updated with The Invoker! Congrats to everyone who completed this challenging quest! Special thanks to Absolution of FF and Krusher of WE for pics, stats and info! Thanks also to Greyghost of MT for initial reporting!

Page now updated with Aun Tanua's sayings inside Portal Space. Thanks again to Absolution of FF.

February 20, 2002
The recent update to correct the log-in issues also fixed the broken quest portals! In a continuation of the Buadren quest and the Akiekie Ember step, adventurers entered the Portal Space dungeon! The mother lode of lore was unearthed! Fever Dreams patch page updated with a special Portal Storm page with pictures, the discovery of Lilitha and the Empyreans and a first hand account of the adventure! Coordinates to a 2nd nutmeg discovery added as well.

Best... patch... ever!

Housing Purchase information page updated with the new items required: Sclavus Tongue for a cottage and a White Virindi Jewel for a Villa.

As you may have heard, the servers are littered with the corpses of valiant warriors, slaughtered in their attempts to conquer Portal Space! I'd love it if you could send your stories, tales, and of course, your fabulous screenshots to jackcat@spacestar.net

Legio Matar sends this cool pic of the new dungeon that is part of the continuation of the Baudren quest!

February 18, 2002
More updates to the Fever Dreams patch page. Missing creatures stats filled in, the 4th elemental bracelet added, pics and stats of additional items, several miscellaneous corrections, more housing coordinates, etc. I still haven't gotten through all the email. More Palenqual info to come! Once again, thank you to everyone who has sent info!

February 17, 2002
Baudren quest updated with the remaining items, thanks to Jaguar and Punisher ibn Zod of MT. In addition, a warning added at the top regarding no-drop, no-give properties of crafted pieces. Thanks to Vangar of FF and Confucius of FF.

Cooking Love! The Fever Dreams patch page has been updated with the new food items from the latest patch -- tasty peppermint treats and comfort food, such as Mac & Cheese and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches! Recipes page updated, and the Food and Pantry section revisions have begun (pages may be slow to load).

I replaced the pic of Thunderchild holding his Stave of Palenqual with a one that shows off his prize more clearly. You can also see him casting the Avalanche spell here! Pic of Baudren added, courtesy of Julian's Touch of TD.

I think I have corrected all misspelled names. If your name has not been corrected, please send me another email. Still more to come!

February 16, 2002
Thanks to the strong and speedy legs of Thorwolf the Carver of TD, Settlement Portals page updated with the new portals from the latest patch! The Fever Dreams patch page also updated with a few more new housing coordinates, including a few mansions. Last, Town Crier sayings added to the Rumors page (thanks to Cody Killer of LC)! Still much more to come!

February 15, 2002
The Fever Dreams patch page updated with Akiekie Ember. Thanks to Kynd the Shrike of WE and Naoko Hime of FF for info on this new discovery! For the details (not many!) so far, visit the Akiekie Ember page in the quest section.

February 15, 2002
The Fever Dreams patch page is finally up! (spoilers inside) Rubble is spawning, more cool quests, Shadow Armor returns to its former strength, and the Hoary Mattekar is back! Additional Singularity Weapons, new creatures, a cool new hat and more! I think this just might be the best patch ever!

Thanks to everyone who sent information in. If I missed you, I apologize. I think I had more submissions than I have ever had for a patch. Yesterday was also the busiest day ever for the site, with over 33,000 unique visitor sessions!

And now... I must sleep! ;-)

February 14, 2002
Preliminary information is coming in! More coming later today, but for now, see Legio posing in the new Shadow Armor on the Fever Dreams patch page! Build Notes, etc. also added!

February 14, 2002
I'm glad the Zone posted two new Bestiary entries, because I didn't have time to do up something myself for folks to read while the server is down for the latest patch. (!!!) Texts updated with Banderling: Guardian Chief and The Reedshark: Claw, Tooth and Fin.

As always, please use the jackcat@spacestar.net email address to send any patch screenshots!

And Happy Valentine's Day.
Love, Maggie!

I'm still totally swamped with that pesky job, but I will do my best to cover the new patch on Thursday. In the meantime, Auberean History section updated with the teaser for the Fever Dreams event, plus the latest History installment. Texts also updated with the latest stories on the Zone: Eyes of a Child, Blaylock's Folly and Queen in the Storm.

I also added the Roof Hook and a few more Two Headed Snowmen sayings to the Flesh and Blood patch page.

February 10, 2002
It's been one of those weeks at work. I've had almost no AC time at all! I did update the Emotes page with the latest additions and the @commands page with all the @helps that were added a while back. More coming soon! :) 

February 5, 2002
Final spell-casting item section completed! Wands added to the Magic section. I also added the Specialized Mana Conversion requirement to the Staff of Clarity on the Staffs page. Thanks to Rortie of MT and Dark Hallucination of SC for pointing out the omission! Thanks also to Donryu of LC for the missing Obsidian Ring icon in the Jewelry section!

February 4, 2002
For once, coming soon means soon! Staffs added to the Magic section.

February 3, 2002
Congratulations to my wonderful vassal for attaining level 76! He's now... er... 25 levels higher than I am. Ha.

Continuing with the updating of some older sections, I've moved Orbs off the Magic Items page in the Shopping section and placed them under the Magic Section. Like the various Sports pages, the Orbs are broken down into Quest & Crafted Orbs, Store Bought Orbs. As always, a sampling of loot generated orbs are included. Staffs and Wands coming soon!

Gauntlets of Marksmanship updated with pics and stats of the Swamp King. Thanks to Sister Immacolata of WE!

Recent new creatures added to the Beasties page (page is still huge -- slow to load). Many other miscellaneous bits and pieces updated, corrected, etc.

January 2002 New Stuff archived.

Lilitha, trapped in Portal Space dungeon!

Cooking Love!

Tarron of WE in the Helm of the Elements!

Ned Cleversun, now Level 76, casting with his Focusing Stone!
