Currently writing from back home in DTH. I was planning to head to Hermit Isle and relax there, but given how far of a distance that is (and how risky it’ll be to bring B2 there), decided to head back. I was also planning to stop by Dragonshearts’ deed and see if it’s changed. But, too risky.
So, the final day of the LunaLong went as expected: I stood idly waiting for something to do. A few late-comers actually showed up, and I was able to imp one final thing.
Wondered if I should leave after dinner, but I stayed. Wondered if I should leave after my snack time, but I stayed.
Good thing I did. One final Enki attack, and Dracaa doing a mini firework display to serve as the closing ceremony. Was about to leave, when she said that she had something for all of us. Hopped off the wagon and walked over, and was given.. a rare bee smoker! WOW!! SWEET! Thanks Dracaa! 😀 I will definitely accept your gift!
Aroma also had things she offered (during the past two days). Such as high WoA mats to help me imp. But one odd thing was she gave me a 2H sword and a bassinet helm.
Why would I need a 2H sword, when I have a huge axe? Do appreciate it’s 85 QL, but I don’t really need it. It has Frostband being its only enchant.
Mmmm. I’ll just stick it in a container and let it rot. As for the extra bassinet helm, that would be handy once I need my current one re-imped.
Pulled away from the deed and back on the highway heading back to Wismar (where my boat is near).
To say goodbye to an impalong.. any impalong, is painful. And as I said with the Friend-A-Long, it took me awhile to get over it. This one is no different. But at least the Shrimpalong isn’t too far away.
However, I’ll make an exception for the NEXALong, which is now the winner of being the worst impalong I’ve ever been to (worse than the Exo impalong). The activities were fun, and so was the drunk time.. but it didn’t make up for the confusing layout and only having four forges. It was an absolute mess.
The LunaLong, is a tough one to judge. Though it had good amenities, and friendly staff, I would had liked to see more activities to even come close to the Friend-A-Long. Dracaa did explain the reasoning behind it (being RL issues), and says next year would be better. The fact I got to meet Emoo, was huge.
I also learned that Dracaa actually did research, to base her impalong off of the Shrimpalong (asking Shrimpiie lots of questions). That’s pretty awesome to know.
But, I finally made a decision on where to place it in the list. And so, this is the current standing (of every impalong I’ve been to since I came back to Wurm in 2015);
1st: Indy Impalong (Ind, 2015)
2nd: Friend-A-Long (Pri, 2018)
3rd: Glasshollow Impalong (Xan, 2017)
4th: ‘LunaLong’ (Xan, 2018)
5th: Blackmoor Christmas Impalong (Ind, 2016)
6th: Exo Impalong (Exo, 2017)
7th: NEXALong (Xan, 2018)
3rd and 4th place are currently battling eachother. They are so close it’s ridiculous.
But currently, the Glasshollow Impalong is in 3rd place due to this is where I was able to finally give back from all the times I had my stuff imped.
The next impalong is two weeks and five days away. We’ll see how that one stacks up to the list. I will definitely bring Uma for it.
Yet I’m not sure if I’m going to go. Might pass it by, in favor of just staying home. Two reasons as to why. #1, what I mentioned with the Glasshollow Impalong (how my mining skill is 50 and not 80). It would be a waste of time getting BS up any higher.
And #2… someone I don’t want to see for the rest of my life is going to be there… a certain champagne-drinking dragon, mentioned she’s part of the staff.
*pukes in mouth* ..Mother of God.
Little did anyone know, the LunaLong would be the last impalong I would ever attend for a very, very long time due to my failing interest in the game.
