Where has Vhalen gone?

[Aluadienae]

<DIV>Is Vhalen still around?  I haven't seen any postings from him since the 10th.  I throughly enjoy his posts on history and lore, and was worried that he'd gone the way of the carolina parakeet . . . </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Alu</DIV>

<DIV>What kind of vacation spot is worthy for the loremeister to consider a vacation?</DIV>

[Jindrack]

Where else?!  Greece!  He's probably talking to Apollo's Oracle or wrestling a Minotaur right now... /envy

You should visit Turkey too <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Don't worry, it is not looking like Maj'dul <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<FONT size=2> <P>I have returned! My adventures on the isles of ancient mythology have concluded. The hunt for the minotaur was not as successful as I had wished, but all was not in vain. I was able to decipher the words of the Oracle of Delphi and got a glimpse of the future of Norrath. Wonders await beyond the sea of blackness.</P></FONT>

Welcome back, you have been missed!  Did you meet a Medussa out there, my cousin married a greek gal and she was very close to being a mythological creature of terror.  Alll that being said, I trust the food was good?

<P>Welcome back Vhalen! I hope your trip was marvelous! Someday soon I hope to drag off my Greek hubby to the isles and explore. So much about the Greeks and their pantheon and culture intrigues me, and is such wonderful fodder, isn't it? I suppose I may have to leave hubby to sit and drink Ouzo with his family, while I wander the ruins though, *laughs* That stuff is poison cough syrup I tell you!</P> <P>I find it very amusing that a game dev can say the most innocuous of things and have the worlds players hanging on his every word. I think devs need to be one part writer and one part sadist to keep us all in suspense and second guessing!</P> <P>Just wait, in a day or two there will be a post somewhere about Vhalen saying the next expansion will be based on ancient Greece....*chuckles.*</P> <DIV>Galya</DIV>
