It's poll time. Last week, Grand Librarian Maelin proved to be a popular choice as a presentation partner, blowing away the competition. For this week's poll, we look to alternate abilities. It has been nearly four years since the introduction of alternate abilities with the Luclin expansion. This week we ask: How many alternate abilities has your main character accumulated?

Next I thought I would point out an interesting thread on the EverQuest forum. Are there any zones or areas in the game which catch your eye? A user by the name of Maktub brought up the subject: What is the most visually attractive place in EverQuest? Nedaria's Landing and Katta Castellum have gotten a number of mentions. Perhaps there is a place or two in the game which stand out to you.

Lastly, a thank you to the Hellfire Club guild of Cazic Thule for assisting me in getting a set of screenshots from the volatile Uqua zone.

I would like to take a moment to thank Henora for the complete list of Darkhollow spell mission caster / melee rewards and Saraban of Darkwind for steady contributions to the site, and for offering up tidbits about high-end game encounters.

It's poll time. Last week, we addressed the issue of gender-crossing. If last week's results are an indicator, you could say that slightly more than half of the females you encounter in game are actually female. That is an interesting statistic.

In this week's poll, we ask: You have a major school/work presentation to prepare for. Which of these NPCs would you pick to work with you?
