I knew yesterday was going to be a hair pull keyboard smashing SOE swearing day because of the Holiday update was going to be loaded. With this in mind, I got off of work @ 2:30 EST to beat the rush and maybe be able to get the quests done before the masses were updated and logged in. I got home at about 3 o’clock and by 3:15 I had the patch loaded and ready to play ---I thought!!! NOOOOOOO, locked out what the He—was this all about. I am going away early Friday and will not be able to log back in until 01/02/07 and I want every second I can play because I have 3 toons I need to complete the holiday quests. Well at 3:45, I was able to log in and get my first toon to go to North Q and accept the quest. Now one must know that she was a level 42 Templar and is mainly a soloist. Well the quest tells me to go to Everfrost and kill sharks and spiders. Crap I know where the sharks are but it means I need to search all over for the spiders and if you know what a Templar can do soloing in Everfrost at Lvl 42 is going to be tough. Well I made it through the sharks and was lucky enough to help out a dying soul who could direct me in the right direction. As I was talking something came up from behind at 1,2,3 dead……To make this short I go to the spiders and there was a poor soul dead on the ground so I team and revived him and we proceeded to take out the 5 spider in a very quick fashion…. This was great, back to NQ and gets the tree!!! What do I find out, I have to go back and kill the same creatures to receive the wreath, s/b simple I know were everything is --- Yah right a 2x EPIC shark had me for lunch not once but twice. I plan on going back there and take out the shark when I get back. Well after three deaths, 1 AA point and almost pinging 43, I completed the quests for my templar’s holiday room decorations. Now it is my lvl 30 Monk turn!!! May you have fun completing the holiday quests and watch out that snowball I found maybe comming you way!!
