Live from Qeynos

The Streams

Every member streaming their own view of the same launch. Pick a perspective, or watch them all at once. A few channels are still being set up.

Launch Night

The Schedule

All times shown in your local timezone. Rough plan — it is a launch, things will slip.

Servers Up

Everyone online and queued. Streams go live at the same moment — twelve simultaneous first impressions of Norrath.

Name Reservation

Handles locked immediately. Thirty years has taught us the good names go inside four minutes.

Group Formation

Two balanced cores, tank and healer covered in each. Overflow rotates in as people log on through the night.

First Zone Push

Harold calls the route. He never actually stopped playing EverQuest, so we let him.

The Long Haul

Whoever is still standing keeps going. Historically this is when the stream gets good.

Day One

The Launch Plan

Thirty years of doing this has taught us a few things about launch day.

01

Name Reservation

Everyone locks their handle the moment the servers open. No scrambling, no compromises, no Sootttt.

02

Group Splits

Two balanced groups out of the gate, tank and healer covered in each. Overflow rotates in as people log on.

03

Coordinated Leveling

Shared zone progression 1–50. Nobody outruns the pack, nobody gets left in Blackburrow alone at 3am.

04

Everything Streamed

Twelve simultaneous POVs of the same launch. Watch the wipes, the corpse runs, and the first dragon attempt in real time.

Norrath Awaits

Velious ice drake — still one of the best models ever shipped
Lich boss encounter
Something in the depths that will absolutely delete a level 20
Froglok knight
Froglok knight — Guk is going to be very crowded on July 28
Ratmen in a cave
Ratmen — the reason half of us know what a corpse run feels like
Giant chessboard clearing
The chessboard — if you know, you know
Reaper wielding a scythe
Reaper — ask Harold about this one sometime
Dragon encounter
Round two. Hige has unfinished business with dragons.

Also In Rotation

Five of Us Are
Still Racing Forza

Forza Horizon 6 did not stop just because Norrath opened. Soot, Jibbish, Harold, Tat and Pugh keep the weekly grind going — Rivals leaderboard chasing, full seasonal playlist completion, and tune sharing across the crew.

Side Rotation

Pugh & Soot
EA NCAA 27

Norrath is not the only thing on the schedule. Console Champion Pugh and Soot run EA Sports College Football 27 on the side — dynasty saves, road-to-glory runs, and head-to-head games that get considerably louder than they need to.

Roll With Us

Rolling Qeynos?

We are not a hardcore raid guild and we are not recruiting like one. If you are a decent human who likes this game, come say hello. Twelve of us have been doing this together since 1995 — there is always room for one more.
