So I got in just fine when HKO opened it’s doors again. I finished enough quest for today and found out there will be 1 quest per day going on for 5 days. Too bad I’ll be working then so I can’t really get up at 4 am, but good luck to those who can!

My first hour was full of fun, though.

First thing I noticed; I love being able to quickly see which NPC to talk to on a quest with that helping question-mark leading the way.

After finishing my quest, I run into koray, which very un-characteristicly wasn’t afk but very much there. It was nice getting to talk to him for a bit!

I also got to meet some of the other guild-mates. Starrfire7, Ghost and Tidesong where also online. I never saw Tide, and Ghost was like the wind. I was to busy getting the blowing hair out of my mouth to get a good screenie of her. But Starrs happily took a breather with me.

Hearing from my guild-mates that petcards were now dropping, I quickly ran to my first favourite in HKO, the Skunks. Luckily enough I got a card on my first try. I wasn’t as lucky when I continued to the Fox’s, but I’ve got time to work on them. Anyways, meet my new friend cotton candy!

Now I’ll see if I can catch me some of that sleep I’ve been hearing about. It’s supposed to be good for you, so I’d better give it a shot.

So if my Time Zone Converter is correct, HKO is scheduled to open for the Founders in about half an hour. It’s a bit after 3.30am my time and I pondered a while over wether to get to sleep early to be able to wake up or if I’d just not go to sleep at all. Since the anticipation made me “not-at-all-sleepy” it kinda just decided for the latter automatically.

So I’ll just have my own little HKO-wake here in front of the computer. I’ll be in the chat-room incase anyone wanna join me.

At 2.50am I decided to run HKO incase there was a new patch, and there was. Then I couldn’t help but try and login and I got to accept some Terms and Conditions - that’s new. Then - to my utter surprise - I actually got in!

There weren’t many of us around, but I got to see Victor and Tidesong running around in there before GM Neverender announced that the server would go down for 45 minutes. But during the about 15-20minutes I got in there I got to see the moving windows. They weren’t the only things moving though. The windmill in Paris was moving, as well as the water in the London fountain. So pretty!

The Maps looked a bit different

And there where new NPC’s I met (or were they there during Christmas? I might have missed them then)
 

So… 30 minutes left huh? I just hope I can get back in then and not be run over by the crowd.
