I am here and very much alive. No Pod fading here! It’s been two weeks with no updates but I have been very hard at work on the next couple of shows. As I said in my last show there would be times I did not get the show out exactly within two weeks. This is one of those times. Real life got in the way and I became very sick this week with a strong cough. Which meant no voice. I am almost over it now so I should be recording soon.

The next show is going to be covering the Lore and Legend quests. The main topics to cover are a description of the mob, where to get the quest, what level should you be, where the best locations to hunt the mobs are and what type of reward will you receive. At first I felt there was just too many of these to fit into one show so I was going to split it up. I since changed my mind I felt I could get these into one show. That made the show not ready for release since I was now missing some of the researched content. And I did not want to just throw together a show unprepared just to make a self imposed deadline. I want the quality of the shows to remain high so a couple more days of preparation is worth it. I have been saying all along I have several shows I am working on but the problem is they all incomplete. Soon I will be in the opposite situation where I will have plenty of show content ready to record.

I will be putting out at least 2 shows this week so stay tuned!

It’s been a while since I posted an update. This week’s show will be evolving once again with some new segments. I have not given them a name just yet but they will be more or less sections that cover quick topics in both Everquest and Everquest 2. Some of those topics could cover a small zone, small quests or even a tips and tricks. Tipa from West Karana also had a good suggestion in that I should introduce a topic that compares the original Everquest zones with the new ones found in EQ2. I think I will call this segment “Then and Now”. I figured it would not always be good to devote the whole show to just one topic. The core of the show will always be the main subject of the show and reside at the second half of the show. I am also still looking for some listener segments that I can also insert into the show. I would love some in both Everquest and Everquest 2. Please send me an email if you’re interested. 

Also I am proud to announce I am now a part of the Virgin Worlds Podcast Collective. Thanks to Brent and Troy whom I have consulted during my development of the EQ-IQ show for allowing this to happen.

This week’s show will be covering the mid level zone of The Sinking Sands. This zone was introduced with the Desert of Flames expansion pack released in 2005. The zone was most closely tied to the Desert of Ro from the original Everquest. I am about ready to start to record the show but need to brush up on some of the content. Stay tuned!

When in the EQ2 chat channels have you ever wondered what the hell RoV or even BB meant? I became tired of always asking people in the chat channels “what is RoV?” Of course this makes me look like a noob (new player) so I pulled together some of the most common abbreviations used in the EverQuest 2 chat channels. I compiled this list from many different site forums as well as the chat channels themselves. Feel free to download this sheet and print it out. This list defines the more common abbreviations used for the Zones and Dungeon Instances of EQ2.  Enjoy!
