Called to Kunark

 Kunark is unlocked on Oakwynd!

On 20 July 2023, Kunark unlocked on Oakwynd. There were multiple locations of line-ups: the docks in Butcherblock, the dock in South Ro, and the spell sellers for druid and wizard ports.

The 'good' races piled up in Butcherblock and the 'evil' in South Ro. 

A mix of races clumped around the gypsy waiting to buy their transportation spells. Which one is Wind of the South again? 

In Butchblock, the shuttles and transporter appeared and the crowd began to thin as they could get the attention of the transporter. 

It was exciting to be a part of the expansion unlocking on a TLP. I've only experienced expansions becoming available on Live servers. No line-ups in Norrath on Live because the expansion is available after a long day of patching. 

Calling Iksar

Some members of the guild used race change potions to transform their Classic era characters into Iksar. Others created brand new hatchlings.

Some of the hatchlings found themselves being watched over.

Yochlol was overheard saying, "Those primitive lizards think I’m some sort of angel of death." But when you give them spike skin and protections while they fight scorpions and skeletons, what else would they think of you as?

The increase in loot (125%) on Oakwynd with Kunark unlocking made for a very prodigious haul of bone chips from Kerns.

Trakanon's Teeth was VERY active this weekend with so many looking to get their Sebilis key. Was it just me or were the Froglok Hunter's particularly swarmy? I have never seen so many of them on track!! Every time we weren't hugging the wall to kill them, more would come from seemingly miles away! I was too busy trying not to die (bard + druid box) and laughing so hard with my group in voice chat. Another of the group had been there before as well on another server long before and was just as amazed by the swamy hunters. 

Hate's Calling

The night before Kunark unlocked, we had our last foray in the Plane of Hate during the Classic era and got several armor pieces for our members.

We're taking a weekend off from raiding to let our members enjoy some time in Kunark and maybe even get some progress on their epics.

We'll go back to 2-3 days a week with Classic era raid locations later next week including a Double Dragon rematch last weekend in July.
