What we’ve done in game:

Sallennia

  • Dungeon Face Off!  Went great, had so much fun!
  • Ran Exp Foul Cascade, stupid Sparkwing
  • Did some crafting
  • Squashed more bugs, wayyyyy more bugs to squash! (last week’s update)


Chris

  • Short break between episodes as we get into the swing of things again, so not much new since the last show.
  • Our first Dungeon Face Off went really well. It was tons of fun!
  • Rogue still stuck at 45, but he’s calling out to me…. “Play Bardazar……..” I hear softly in the distance.
  • Ran Foul Cascade and had sooo much fun! Always nice to bring guildies through an instance for the first time.


News from the Rift

EU Servers Merged
http://forums.riftgame.com/official-rift-news/news-announcements/323459-european-server-structure-update.html
http://www.riftjunkies.com/2012/07/06/the-effects-of-eu-shard-merges/

  • Same system as the previous round, where some servers become “trial” servers, and characters are encouraged (a.k.a. forced) to switch to the new server.
  • Following the same line as SWTOR did with the “increased server tech means our servers can handle more people”. Not sure if I buy it, or if the merge is because of reduced population.
  • Some side-effects: PUG with people who speak different languages.
  • Server chat: same issue as above.
