Thirst for knowledge

[Zeltaria]

<p>I saw this on Feldon's Eq2 Wire site... not sure what it means, figured someone else might know. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p><a href="http://fanfaire08.feldoncentral.com/2009/08/12/the-thirst-for-knowledge/">http://fanfaire08.feldoncentral.com...-for-knowledge/</a></p><p>sorry if this is a repeat, if it is, please merge or delete.</p>

[Sharakari]

<p>I have no idea but I dont think its a repeat.  Looks like that was posted today.</p>

[irish]

<p><span>Shard 9 <a href="http://lorelibrary.com/">http://lorelibrary.com/</a></span></p>

[irish]

<p>Shard 6 <a href="http://mmoquests.com/">http://mmoquests.com/</a></p>

[irish]

<p>The one at feldons site is shard 7</p>

[Grimoire]

<p>You should link to people's sites, not directly to the images, especially the sites not using photobucket or image shack to host the images.</p><p>The poor site owners usually need ad revenue to make up for the extra bandwidth taken by the extra hits, and direct image links usually don't give them that.</p>

[Barx]

<p>Hmm, Calthine mentioned getting a mysterious package, maybe this was it (ie it got sent out to several fan site staff people in pieces)</p><p>I'm guessing that's one of the font langauges. Too bad I don't have them here at work or I'd start translating some of it =/</p>

[irish]

<p>Removed the combined 6 and 7 image since Lord Ebon added  a combined 3 and 4 and 6 and 7 below so to keep things less confusing.</p>

[Barx]

<p>Irish, can you post links to the ones that used to be there? So far all I have is 6/7 and 3 (and 3 doesn't seem to fit with 6/7 just yet... they may be in numerical order)</p><p>Also I could be wrong, but if I remember that font right I think that is upside down.</p>

[Sharakari]

<p>Is anyone hosting this shard pics anywhere else?  My work is blocking several of them (specifically the lorelibrary site).</p>

[Barx]

<p>Shard 3 is at <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.eqtraders.com</a> btw</p>

[Calthine]

<p>If those are all the ones you've found, y'all have missed at least one.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[irish]

<p>i posted the sites they on Kiara asked me to post links, instead. Im hoping posting the combined ones ok .</p>

<p>Ah, it just took a bit to see it <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>An unknown numbered shard (bah, you changed the file name <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> is at Zam: <a href="http://eq2.zam.com/wiki.html?v=137516" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.zam.com/wiki.html?v=137516</a></p>

[Sharakari]

<p>can someone host shard 9 from lorelibrary somewhere else and link it?  Its blocked for me.  thanks!</p>

[Sharakari]

<p>Also... im at work but if anyone can access the on-line survey, one of the questions was "What site do you go to for information".  There was a long list of sites to choose from that someone could check.  not sure how many total shards there are.</p>

[Barx]

<p>Looks like Zam's was probably 4, if we're going in order. I've stitched 3467 together so far:</p><p>(EDIT Fixed, image got cut off a tad. and it helps if I actually change the image)</p><p><img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8483/shards3467.jpg" /></p>

[Krishti]

<p>Thank you to those putting the pieces together into one pic <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /> I dont have any softwere to do it myself.</p>

[Barx]

<p>I've got 9 cut out, but it doesn't have anywhere to really fit into yet. Anyone found any others?</p>

[feldon30]

Isn't this fun? I have no more idea how the pieces fit together than the rest of you. I've been tinkering in Photoshop, but Barx has made much further progress than I have. Bravo!

[Barx]

<p>I can't take credit for the original lower-left of that stitch, but I have done a decent amount of photoshop (although the rough cut-outs I'm doing here makes the perfectionist in me cry <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ).</p><p>So assuming there is 10 total, we have:</p><p>1 - ??</p><p>2 - ??</p><p>3 - eq2.eqtraders.com</p><p>4 - eq2.zam.com</p><p>5 - ??</p><p>6 - mmoquests.com</p><p>7 - feldoncentral.com</p><p>8 - ??</p><p>9 - lorelibrary.com</p><p>10 - ??</p>

[Sharakari]

<p>So I've checked</p><p>thebrasse.com</p><p>eq2players</p><p>eq2flames (worth a shot)</p><p>and a couple other off the wall sites but I have had no further luck.  so it looks like we have 5 of at least 9 shards so far. (4,5,6,7,9).</p>

[Sharakari]

<p>some sites I cant access.</p><p>Jethral Silverwings site..</p><p>RadarX site...</p><p> Just shooting in the dark with limited access to the net...... Your tax dollars at work! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Oh drat... I should have dropped one at Flames.  * sigh *</p><p>Next time * nod *</p>

<p>Y'all want a wiki page to collaborate on?  Wouldn't take me but a minute or two.</p>

<p>I looked through the community news section for ideas, and checked mmodomination but nada.</p><p>Also on the VERY off chance checked EQ2i... but nothing there either.

Working on adding that one now... it's not quite lining up with 9 though, maybe one got resized.</p>

[Sharakari]

<p>I'm useless today.  Most all sites getting blocked.  Good Luck to the rest of you and I'll be checking back often.</p>

[Xdatinelia]

<p>Is anyone translateing it yet?</p>

[Barx]

<p>OK, here's 8 added in, I still need to try and get 9 to match up with it a bit better:</p><p><a href="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9537/shards346789.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/95...hards346789.jpg</a></p>
