               ==On this wiki==

I decided to get active here a long time ago when I was hanging out in [[Rivervale]] and noticed how sparse the content, especially in regards to screenshots, was.  I took a few and wrote some articles.  Then I had computer graphics problems - see below - and wasn't active for a long time.

What I started with was writing monster articles and upload screenshots of monsters.  Generally I decide to work heavily on one zone at a time.  Which zone, basically depends on which one I'm in at the time I get in the mood to do some wiki-writing, although I give more attention to zones where the content is sparse.  [[Kylong Plains]] for example, had about 10 articles when I started attacking it.  

I'm a compulsive completionist.  If something gets my attention about a zone, I'll start poking at it, hunting into the rarely traveled corners to see if there's any kinds of monsters that people don't realize exist.  Or I'll get sidetracked trying to spade out how to flush out the rare spawn namers, and that can take a long time.  I've only gotten [[Slumber Paw]] to spawn once in like 2 weeks of sporadic messing around with the bears that spawn him.  And as of GU61 there's a lot of reitemization to be done.  And most of the tradeskill recipes haven't been touched since GU52 (or was it 51?  I'm too lazy to check) changed the way they worked.  So basically I have wiki-ADD and I work on whatever I feel like when I start working.  That's also why I prefer old-world content - the new world stuff is just linear and comparatively boring.

[[Ruins of Varsoon]] was the first zone I finished the monster articles for. And I ''think'' [[Zek, the Orcish Wastes]] is the second, but there might be a rare spawn namer somewhere that I don't know about.

By the way, 99.5% of the images I contribute are done in MS Paint.  Copypaste is a wonderful tool for those who are too impatient to learn photoshop.  

I'm a lot less active than I used to be.  I bought a new computer that was supposed to be an upgrade to my old one, and despite having far superior hardware and capabilities, it runs like garbage.  I could play EQ2 on higher specs on a 8 year old machine, and this thing barely handles facebook games.  As it turned out, the problem was a power source about half as powerful as it ought to have been - a new one and the computer runs fine.  But loud as a jet engine.  In conclusion, if you ever consider buying a CyberPower PC, '''don't'''.  

Oh yeah, I have a [[User:McJeff/Sandbox|Sandbox]] and a [[User:McJeff/To do|To-Do List]].

===Current projects===

*None

===All time highlights===

*Designed the page for [[DoV Fabled Sets]] (though it's been expanded a lot since I first made it - I quit raiding just after Drunder came out)
*[[:File:Bouncer Fug (Feerrott).jpg]]: First image I uploaded to the wiki.
*[[:File:Zaashka Bradagan.png]] - I wanted a clear image of her.  I finally got one by climbing to the railing above her, leaping down to my death, and taking the shot while dead.  That's why her name doesn't glow with aggro.
*[[:File:Sullon Zek rear view.png]] - I never quite figured out how to use this one on the wiki, for obvious reasons... but if SOE designed it it needs to be shared, right?
*[[:File:Slumber Paw.png]] - I had a hell of a time figuring out how to spawn this guy.
*[[:Category:The Mystic Lake Monsters]] - this was ''completely empty'' before I tackled the zone.
*Aviaks in the Barren Sky.... you do NOT want to know how long I spent trying to figure out the shared spawns.
*[[:Category:Ghoul]] - SOE should thank me for straightening this all out.
