So I did the interview with Microsoft and it went pretty well. Though most of my projects that we talked about were Ruby/Java based and not the C/C++ that they were looking for. But over all the interview went pretty good. They ask me a pretty interesting question at the end of the interview though. So here it is.

Let say you are working at the Microsoft library and Bill Gates call you up asking for a book. You check the system and you see that the book is in the library so you tell him you have the book. He says he’ll be there in 1 hour to pick it up. You head to the shelf and you find out what that the book is not there. What do you do?

So live update 45 (or game update 45, what ever you want to call it) Is now one test.

And there are some huge changes with it.

• Coercers are getting revamped. They have been one of the least played classes since the start of the game, Which i guess is a good thing
• Cure Noxious, Elemental, Trauma and Arcane have been consolidated into one spell called Cure.
  I know a lot of our healers hate having to cure, and now that they only have one button to do it, it make it a lot easier for them
• Grayed out quest level 10 or high will give you AA point now. So if your level 80, and have a level 15 quest you can get some AA points from doing it. Not sure how much, but does give people a reason to do the lower end quest.
• Banks now have 12 slots up from 8
  
• Shared banks now have 8 slots up from 4
• Shared evil characters and good characters can now see each other shared bank slots — FINALLY.
• You can also used your bank to send coin from one character to another.
• Weaponsmiths, and Woodworkers now can make new weapons, with different effects
• And now you can show the little quest symbol on all quest that you have out leveled. Which is great for questers like me

All in all a lot of changes that should of came a year or so ago, but i am at least happy that they are coming

So there are a few different theories out on who the last cylon is. I believe the final Cylon is the Cylon centurions. Now first, they are technology already Cylon, but they do not count as one of the final 12, as of yet.

The last supper picture does relieve some things. Cellounge has said that Ronald D. Moore has said that none of the people in this picture is the last Cylon (so that kills Baltar, and starbuck as the last cylon). And if we follow the picture the last cylon would have to be in Judus seat. Judus in the bible betrays Jesus. And if Jesus is number 6, then someone would need to be in a postion to betray number 6.

And there really isn’t anyone in a position to betray her other than the  Cylon centurions. You can see that happening as well. When they she asked the cylon centurions to ecsort the other Cylons off her ship, and then says please the other one pauses for a second and then goes back to cleaning the blood.

Since the Cylon centurions can now think for them self, they are in a very good spot to betray her, and all the other cylons.

So i’m late about 5 days to this, but as Tipa, and The Clockwork Gamer, and a few other have pointed out Shadows of Odyssey seem to point to Luclin.

While i believe it might have something to do with Luclin i don’t think we will be going up to the moon. I think a large Chunck of the moon fell on to Norrath. Back before the game came out and they were realsing lore. They talked about how after the moon blew up a the oceans became very strong, and made passage by the ocean inpossible. My guess is that was caused when a chunk of the moon fell on to Norrath.

Which also fit in with the current lore that they have passed. One of them is the Escape from Guk, the other The Flight of the Mudskipper. Both of these are said to come from the  lair of Trakanon. And Guk would be off the west cost (where Trakanon is) of Kunark. It would be easy for him to get infromation for a Luclin/guk Contitent. And if the shadows live there as well, it could show why there is a Shadow strong hold in Freerrot, since that is close by as well.

Also if a large rock from luclin did fall on Norath there would have to be some large (but smaller) impacts near by. On the west coast of Kunark again in the overthere, there is small impact craters. So the place in black on this map would be a near where guk woud be and would also be about the place where a large chunk of the moon could fall, with smaller chunks falling on Kunark

So my thought is this expantion is going to be around the area were Guk was, But after Luclin smash in to it.

Part 6 (unless i miss counted), of a ummm let say 15 part series at the moment.

This first loadscreen is from the orignal everquest 2. I have never seen anything like this in the game. It looks like it is in a cave. So it could be the city of Neriak, or Kaladim. Or it could of be a sewer under freeport of qeynos, or any o the underground dugeons.

Another one form the orginal Everquest 2. Can clearly see that these are examples of what the tower of freeport could of been. Some of these are pretty cool looking. The second to last one looks pretty cool, if it was maybe an ice tower, or mabe something that was pure inky black. I believe if i remeber what Freeport looks like they picked the second one on the bottom

The next screen shot comes form Desert of Flames. I don’t really remeber why i chose this one (I chose all the load screen that i would do for all these a few months ago).  The first image in the load screen is the arena that is in the middle of the city.

This one is from  Echoes of Faydwer it show some of what Greater Faydwer looks like.. kinda You can see some of the acorns that they live in. You can see some of the trees conecting. And you can see some of the building that did not make it in.

This is of  Veeshan’s Peak I’ve never beeen in there yet so i do not know how it looks or if this is how it looks. But most of Rise of Kunark looks like the zone really looks like, so i’m going to say that looks like it really looks like
