First off, I love how my first post on these forums is in LOVE.
Second, I love the Wheel of Fates because wow is this a way to start a character. Yesterday "The massive wheel comes to a stop with a sickly flash of green light. It shudders for a moment before rewarding you with an Artifact Vial."
And today: "The massive wheel comes to a stop with a sickly flash of green light. It shudders for a moment before rewarding you with an Artifact Tattoo Token."

SeirSeein' All the ThingsGetting high off your emotion
I have finally reached my goal of full-time U.S. government civilian employment with one of the three-letter agencies doing the career path that I was trained to do instead of shitty help desk work. Life has begun progressing in a positive direction and with the government job down, it's time that I started focusing inward. Started doing some therapy on the weekends to get my priorities straight both personally and professionally.
Now that my chosen career is secured, it's time to start work on the next life goal: my own house. Yay.
I love that the company I work has just been round and given every single one of the employees an Easter egg. I also love that they allowed us all to attend scheduled fitness sessions (DURING WORK HOURS!) so that everyone can improve their health but also to encourage people in the charity work they do during the year by doing sponsored activities (they raised over £50, 000 last year for a couple of local charities.)
Going on my vacation anyway, despite the hellacious last few weeks that ate up a ton of time, the deathplague flu, and my child racking up a $700 phone bill because I made the mistake of waiting three weeks to turn on stalker-mom app Family Base.
I get an extra paycheck next week -and- my ex started paying child support just in time to balance out the cost. My awesome supervisor arranged it so I could take unpaid time and juggled it so I am not even at a warning despite having missed a full week of work being ill. And informed me that I'm the most interesting employee she's ever had, apparently due to my weird assortment of jobs and hobbies.
So. Tomorrow, I go away for 4 days of nerdy heaven that is Norwescon.
Last, but certainly not least, we are bringing a Fishing system to Aetolia, which has been a secret project of mine for some time now. We're not going to reveal a lot of details just yet, but I can assure you of its total awesomeness (being a Fisher in nearly every MMO or IRE game where it was available, myself). What you do need to know is that it will be a skill, it will involve strategy in terms of types of bait, rods, and location, and there will be over 100 different types of fish available to be caught on initial release, with many of them being difficult / rare catches. It will work aside a new Faction of Kelki fishermen in Mournhold, who will give additional quests and give out rewards for aspiring anglers. Whether you seek to relax oceanside and fish up a few shrimp, or go full throttle by seeking out legendary kraken and shark catches, it should be an entertaining hobby for many Aetolians.
Help I'm trapped in the quote box. Also I might have sort of peed a little. I am excited like a wee puppy.

This goddamn awful Gary Busey ad for Amazon Fire TV. I have no interest in the box, but everytime Busey shows up I start laughing because all I can imagine is Rivas.

Oh dear god, not this again. I'm STILL recovering from the last one.

@Iosyne - please tell me Aetolia's fishing will be a little better than MKO's fishing. That game is fun sometimes, but oh my GOD the fishing is SO BORING.

Since there aren't love buttons on changelogs, I'll just say here that I'm really happy they made the suggested changes and added even more things to make it even easier.

@Ishin - Our planned implementation will give fishers a few levels of complexity; it will be a combination of different locations, bait/lure preferences, and rods that will need to be figured out in order to find a specific type of fish. The actual act of hooking and reeling a fish in will be a small mini-game of sorts where you battle against the fish.

@Razmael is an amazing producer, and does a lot of really awesome things (such as helping me when I think I've found a bug, but in fact, I just figured out a way to make the game fire 900+ GMCP messages at me and crash my client). Seriously, much love for the overgrown, suicidal, grove-annihilating Razmael. Even if I think this board exists in his house

This giftbag is rectangular in shape, every side of which has been decorated with a hideous, stretch-distorted face. The features of the faces themselves have been blackened, the skin surprisingly holding the shape of the giftbag well. It is warm to the touch and crafted so that ethereal spiderweb strings, reinforced with a thin, black cord strung about the top of the giftbag serves as drawstrings, allowing the items within the bag to be hidden from view.
It has 4 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 22 pound(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of a young Tsol'aa girl.
A giftbag of distorted faces is holding:
"candy218576" a large chocolate eyeball
It is holding 1 objects.
I don't know if it's sweet, cute or oh god someone is going to murder me in my sleep.

Building this system. Seriously, it's super fulfilling watching the whole project come together.
