New adventure on red

[hablabba]

Long break. Much needed vacation. Wasn't sure if I would return. Returned - testament to fun and excitement of server. Even though writing this while being bind point farmed. Cold blooded wood elf "guards" care not about gnomes. Might be fun to raise wood elf faction to surprise would be attackers. Perhaps next chapter!

Look for group. None around. Check out Crushbone against all my better judgment. While solo. As a cleric. With no gear. Spirit of red right? No one here except some HOLOCAUST dudes. Try to talk to one of them and see what's going on. No response. Must be too busy holocausting or whatever people do on red.

Run around trying to kill some blues. Cleric in full cloth and cracked staff sucks. I may have forgotten that. Eventually run into a bard and enchanter. Lower level than me but friendly and we get on to killing. Group has absolutely no dps. Still vastly outperforms solo xp. Bring on the bards with rusty weapons and no dual wield!

Midway through group bard says "brb looting castle". Not sure if an elaborate trap but I follow anyway. Need spell money. Get to castle and entire place has been murdered, orc corpses everywhere. Greed overtakes and all of a sudden incredibly overweight. According to group, holocaust member to thank. Ironic as I thought they were in business of pvp not pve.

Good time for group to break anyway. Can barely move so do bank run and back to lfg. Nothing this time so boring solo chapter in Butcherblock begins. Chessboard too hard, full mana bar to kill any blue. Not great so wait around hoping for group again while slowly soloing - seems even solo xp faster here. Evocation 50! Alteration 21! Server really is pretty fast.

Played a lot so next chapter coming but not written yet. Best chapter yet, promise, First pvp skirmishes and death! This is starting to get fun.
