Still mostly praise to the Dragons of Norrath expansion, albeit the lockout timers are somewhat excessive. Having
to wait for nearly four days prior to repeating a 24 player event is all but disconsolate. Having said that,
most of the encounters we've attempted so far are highly enjoyable, most definitely the Guardian of the Sands
event, which proves the programmers have taken an innovative path in regards to expedition design and strategy.
Upon reaching Yar'Lir we discovered an apparent vanity issue, the dragon having indulged himself with several titles, most pertaining to weather related
elements, though we will merely refer to him as Yar'Lir. Knowing that defeating this event would set in motion
a one time dynamic event opening up the nest for our server, we all agreed that our weekly Anguish farm could easily
be postponed to permanently alter the state of Antonius Bayle.
Through unlocking The Nest, we obtained access to the following monstrosity, it seems the Yar'Lir model is a popular
choice for high end DoN mob design. Traits found amid the earlier Gates of Discord encounters were recognized upon
playing around with the event somewhat, and hopefully we will return soon to engage the guardian of the dragon spawning
grounds.

European servers have long been neglected in comparison to the American ones. I could mention GM events being arranged
at 4 am, patches ending at midnight, pretty much rendering the entire day worthless for raiding. These are things
we have long since learned to accept, our server being the oddity amongst the pack, located on a foreign continent.
However, leaving the Arch Magus Vangl event broken on Antonius Bayle only is hardly a minor issue, it is pretty
unbelievable considering the fact that we have two high end guilds located here, both deeply involved their learning process
against Mata Muram. Having spoken to several raidleaders serverwide, they've all confirmed the encounter is working
perfectly. Set aside five minutes of your precious time to patch the Anguish zone on the server that most likely utilizes it
the most...I usually refrain from ranting about such issues, but this has been postponed for way too long now.
