Delidgamond had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
What happened to the Kelethin continent? Why can't you make characters over there and only one Qeynos and Freeport?
With the blowing up of Luclin, most of Norrath was destroyed in a lot of earthquakes, tidal waves, and falling pieces of moon-rock. Antonica is now broken up into a chain of islands. The other continents are lost (waiting for new expansions) or destroyed. The Sea Fury Buccaneers now plow the seas around these lost areas, picking up survivors as they find them and taking them either to Freeport or Qeynos to be new citizens.

Laughed pretty hard when I came across this fellow and thought of Addy immediately. I'm Renaar on AB. Qeynos faction

I had to prove myself to Qeynos by killing 25 Gnolls that posed a challenge. I just went out and slaughtered the green solo Gnolls. Solo Gnolls are extremely rare in Antonica, especially ones that wouldn't be grey to me. Luckily I know where to look for such things! 
Anyway, after that, I had to bring water from the fountain in Starcrest Commune to Sensei Makoto in Elddar Grove, without spilling a drop. There are basically several checkpoints between those two places. I couldn't use the Mariner's Bell, either. So I had to walk (not run) through the main parts of Qeynos, and hope that at each checkpoint, it didn't say that I spilled the water. It's a random chance. Took me 9 tries to do it.
After that was the final task. I was sent to slay a Master of the Order who had fallen from grace, so to speak. I was sent into my own instance in Antonica, behind the rocks in the valley (anyone who knows Antonica well enough will know the blocked-off valley I'm talking about. The instance was behind that).
Awaiting me was my opponent, and we were destined to fight in a REALLY cool arena.
After the battle, I took some more shots of the arena.
Hawk Pet!

Your character looks like a special olympian.
Anyway, I haven't seriously played too much, so there's not really any screenshots of NEW areas per say. Sorry folks. But I shall share some nonetheless!
Contrary to popular belief, there ARE pick up groups that can pull off HOs... advanced ones.
People have seen the Mystic form. This is the Defiler's (evil shaman). In my opinion, they got ripped off... because it's really nothing that special. But, eh. Maybe they have a fun form that looks cooler. *shrug*
Just Boomba, ;o And why he still 'exists.'
This would be the Academy of Arcane Science in Freeport. *nod* And speaking of the Academy, I got my coercer subclass quest there.
I was sent out to kill this zombie. Okay. Cobbi came to help, and we teamed up with a few other mages for supreme overkill. Well hopefully the quest will get a little better!
Oh wait, I forgot, this guy was the quest giver:
A freaking gnome. I was very disappointed by this quest, as it seemed all the mages did the same one. While monks in Qeynos got their own specialized one? Bleh, sounds like SOE is in favor of Qeynos when it comes to quests. Which is probably why Qeynos is overpopulated. Still frustrating, since there was so much potential for a coercer quest. I was actually expecting something that had to do with, y'know, my profession, instead of...
...killing skeletons while finding some stupid elixir. I hate gnomes. (Except Seyna 
) And I hate Qeynos. GRRRRR. SOE needs to give us some good subclass quests too. :\
EDIT: Oh yes, it sounds like enchanters are the new bard! Hooray! I get to not only manage heroic opportunities at times, crowd control, stuns, the list goes on, but now we can toss breeze into the formula, since they made it a 3 minute duration buff with 30 second recast and everyone is still in EQ1 mode, demanding it to be on all the time instead of treating it as a power-over-time heal!

Or I can just do the Armor Quests like I have been and not spend money I don't have because of arrows, poisons, spells and various other shit.
And I like to actually *read* what is scrolling across my screen, 1 or 2 chat boxes is nothing but a spam fest. Not to mention I have a 3rd bar and I use all of the skills on those bars, regularly.

Better than a social.
"Nice shot Red 2! Watch your flan-wait...wrong genre of game! DAMN YOU SONY!"
You know what else is "paved with good intentions". I thought this was moderately clever, given this is from the Dark Elf borough of Freeport.
This is a twofer.
Item one: The gnoll. In motion they don't look like the hydrocephalic chihuahua men the EQ2 site made them out to be. The ears look freakish, but there you are. Yo Quiero Qeynos Bell.
Item two: Notice the glowing disk on the castle in the background? It's actually a stained glass window on Antonia Bayle's castle, but at night, outside the city, it looks like some sort of freaky medieval batsignal. Yes friends, when the forces of icky darkness threaten the city-state of Qeynos, Antonia Bayle (billionaire monarch) grabs her trusty Qeynos Claymore, strips down to skimpy clothes, and with her youthful ward Lieutenant Arathur (who is a chick in EQ2) fights crime as...
...never mind, the joke is running thin. Qeynos is too happy a place. Freeport rules.

Freeport: To become a brawler, you get to scare people into submission, gut punch one chick, smack another across a bar, and KICK A GNOME IN THE NUTS. ALL of your responses can be as sarcastic as you like, and you don't get people who are so saccharine you fear you'll develop diabetes.
Also, Freeport doesn't have the silly Baylesymbol flashing on the front. It has the OVERLORD'S FORTRESS HANGING LIKE THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES overhead.

Alidane spewed forth this undeniable truth:
Do you know what the highlight of the Cleric quest in Freeport is? I forget the name of the room, but you basically stand in the room and get the shit kicked out of you. You have to survive for a set amount of time. It sucked and was painful after like the sixth time.

Besides, Qeynos has Dwarves. Dwarves are kinda like Pirates, who are bad motherfackers.
My dwarven shaman feels awkward without his axe.

Anyway, here's a question: Should I be buying food? Or would it be essentially the same thing as the stuff I can summon? The effect says it helps regen, but I don't know if different foods help regen different amounts, and I'm too lazy to run my own tests.

Any purchased food makes you regen faster then summoned.
Have any cool shots of Stormhold, Pesco?
The only "Cool" place in Stormhold I've found is the sword.
Better shots once I'm a higher level
