(No spoilers for the Zalazane's Fall event other than comments on the voice acting, no plot spoilers at all.)

Before yesterday, I was at best indifferent about the troll race. Indifferent strongly leaning towards dislike. Almost without exception, every troll player I run into is a raging asshole, and I don't mean just in RP.

Then came the Zalazane's Fall event yesterday. Oh my god. The voices! The accents! So amazingly hot. I'm in love. Just the one character saying "Zalazane" somehow was so very, very, very hot. I was melting in my chair.

Even the female voices were OMG SEXY. Almost every single voice in the event had me melting. (Zalazane was the only exception, he sounded exactly like Rafiki from Lion King! Ha! Not sexy, but amusing!)

I did the event three times yesterday (Haken, big Keen, mini-Keen) and have two more to do today (Crow and Thack). The quests leading up to the final event weren't fun at all (shades of FFXI events where you're just running and collecting endlessly as nothing but busywork*), but the final event makes it all worth it.

* As usually, I don't actually read the text quest, so for people who do maybe the busywork doesn't seem quite so bad.

"Wait...troll druids?"
"Ya we were here the whole time!"
"So, why couldn't I be one of you?"
"We were hiding!"
"...what"
"We're good at hiding..."

Oh well, I guess it beats "a wizard did it" in terms of reasoning for changes to the race/job combos.

I was the first person on my server to finish the event, but they weren't giving out "server first" feats of strength so I was a sad panda...I'm also incredibly disappointed by the cape! I mean, I know they couldn't make it like some sort of awesome better then ICC cloak but still! Maybe make it so when you have it on then you have one of those masks following you (like at the middle point of the mission) or something. Not just "oh look, troll symbol that's covered up by my tauren hair...wooo...

At least the costume is nice.

Things definitely wouldn't be as tedious if you read the quest text. It makes things much nicer. :P

Fun news from FFXI - AF3 info is coming out from the DAT mining. Every other bit of gear you have is useless in comparison. Salvage is crap.

Now, AF3 isn't that easy to get (at least, noone has found the items as a quicky-drop so far). But all of it is crazy-go-nuts good.

Also, yay 85!
