Thanks to Arboc of SC, the
Tourism section has
been updated with another category of locations, this time of all the
NPCs in the game! Click
on the name of an
NPC for further details, including closest town, related quests and
shortest route! I'm still going through my screenshots to add pics and
descriptions (coming soon!), but the list itself should be pretty thorough.
If you notice an NPC I'm missing, please
send me an email. Thanks again,
Arboc!!

Whereas most of the
servers have destroyed the door, releasing Reeshan into Dereth, Morningthaw
and Verdantine have mounted a defense! Exciting times! Server divergence,
perhaps? See
this post by Ibn for an intriguing comment.
Update: The doors on MT and VT have fallen.
We're doomed!!!! :)

the Turbine Site

Lead [sic] by Mgrauleshk, a Guruk Gorefiend, the Burun storm the Temple of
Izji Qo. The portal gateway in the matron's crypt has become active and the
Burun have stormed a receiving chamber containing a sealed portal.
Mgrauleshk and his force will break through the wall and activate the portal
beacon, bringing the Burun masters to Dereth unless they are stopped within
ninety minutes.
Thanks to Zerono & An'iya of HG, Mykell of TT
and Chazzy Chaz of TD! Visit the
patch
page for more information!

Just a reminder to everyone to redeem your free
experience from Jalina al-Hajj in Al-Arqas before
the patch next Wednesday! Ibn suggests not waiting until the last minute!!
Also, a request for DT or VT
players before the next patch! I think you're the only two worlds to have
not yet received the 5 available globals from the Noble Weapons/Blackmire 4 quest! If
anyone is going through this weekend, I'm hoping you can snag pics and stats
of the Guruk Titan Watcher, the Ruuk Fiend Watcher and the Burun Egg! If
anyone is so inspired, please forward to
jackcat@spacestar.net!
