Back in March, I was thrilled to have a chance to help other members of the EverQuest 2 community build playgrounds and decorate a huge guild hall for Ribbitribbitt, a terminally ill 6-year-old boy. It was an incredible thing to see and be a part of, and it was wonderful of his parents to allow us to share in and brighten his life for even a few minutes.
I learned this morning that Ribbit passed away Sunday night. I’m heartbroken, and I can’t imagine how his parents are feeling. Please join me in sending love and prayers to his family. Ribbit, I hope you have that island in the sky for real now!

If I haven’t mentioned in a while how much I love this game, allow me to remedy that: I love this game.
The last few times I’ve played, probably spaced out over the last year or two, I realized that I’d come to the “grind” portion of the game. I’ve finished the main storyline and now have to take guide, photograph, and salvage requests to build up the currency — Pelagos, in the game parlance — I need to return to the site of the story’s climax and get access to the grandest treasures and rarest creatures in the game. Thankfully I can also now take dolphin show requests, and they’re a nice source of fairly steady Pelagos, besides being pretty easy to do, with no travel required.
So I need 1 million Pelagos, and I’m up to just over 800,000. *pant, pant, pant* As I’m slogging through the requests, though, I’m earning a few little in-game extras like new diving equipment, decorations for my private reef (so posh!), or new functionality for existing equipment. One of the latest ones I’ve gotten is the ability to develop my photos in black-and-white instead of only color, and that’s been pretty fun — and I got some incredible shots of grey whales while diving in the Zahhab Region.
The final expedition to the Cavern of the Gods is in sight now, and I’m pretty antsy to get in there!

Ok, here’s how I think this thing works, according to what I read on the GW2 site and my experience with my own GW2 beta code entry. You put the code in at the URL provided, which puts you into their beta access pool. You might get to play this weekend, or you might get into one, any, or all of the future beta access weekends. If this is incorrect, please let me know and I’ll post the correction ASAP, but I haven’t gotten an answer from the question I asked on Twitter, so I’m making an educated guess and hoping I land somewhere that borders reality!
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER if you’re already in the GW2 beta pool (pre-orders are guaranteed beta access at some point) or if you won’t be able to play during this or any upcoming beta weekend. This weekend’s beta starts at 12:00pm (noon) Pacific on Friday, April 27 and ends at 11:59pm Pacific on Monday, April 29.
Remember, there are TWO codes up for grabs here, and there will be TWO winners. Good luck!!

Woohoo, congrats to Paul and John!! Emails containing your respective codes are on their way to you as we speak!
Stay tuned, guys — there are plenty more giveaways to come!
