Special for chrismass and New Year .... Pengouin

[thomascovenant]

It would be greatly appreciated if you could let us know when there will be special days for the holidays as well as when the penguin will be. This would allow as many players as possible to plan to be online and who knows, maybe motivate some of the less active players to come and play

Thank you in advance

TC

It would be greatly appreciated if you could let us newbs know what "the penguin" is! ;-) :-D

The penguin is an NPC that used to be a common sighting during holiday seasons, he used to give out 1 totally random, non randomized BUR or UR item to each username that logged in and talked to him, including race books. He has been absent the past few years though.

And if you look like a bat it will try to kill you.

I wish I could have been on more and played some through the extended weekend but my PC in in a room that has no heating and we had rolling black outs and no real notice of a "schedule" for them.

Good grief, my excuse was merely family events. I hope you are holding up okay!! How are things, now?

My "office" space has been an unfished basement room that has an open unfished wall to the crawl space for years we just haven't put money into finishing it serves as a place for my desktop and storage the temp doesn't get too cold normally but we had some of our coldest days in years and when PC is used it puts out some heat. The rolling blackouts were the real issue not knowing how long you will have power kind of puts a damper on gaming for me. I had plenty of family stuff too but there was time I would have gamed that the other reasons took most any time I could have used for it. Snow is gone temps are up significantly and rolling blackouts I believe have stopped.

Glad things are better.

“we had our coldest days . . . The PC puts out some heat” made me think of:
