Of Ants and Queens

Of Ants and Queens 10 June 2009



"What was that?!", a screeching voice angrily echoed through the underground cavern, "you want what? A break?! Where did you get an idea like this?!"

A huge leg with razor sharp blades attached stomped the ground sending out a small earthquake.

"And who, by the hunger of my children, will tend to guarding my doorstep?"

A look, sharp as a needle, was cast down, literally impaling the two smaller creatures.

"My deepest apologies, honored Queen", one of them spoke with reverence, "...but we can no longer endure this anguish...." the other said as if both their minds were linked together.

"We're being beaten up regularly by hordes of adventurers trying to get into your chamber. And since through their pure overwhelming number, they always succeed anyway. We just need to have a breather sometimes."

Speechlessly the Queen of the proud Kal Tuk Ant Clan tugged on one of her long antennas and could only look at the two as "Kal'Turstan & Kal'Turssi" known guardian ants.

After a long minute of awkward silence she spoke once more.

"So be it then. Take your stupid breaks then. Let the heroes of Taborea know that this Queen's chamber is open from now on - but tell them that anyone who dares to enter will meet my wrath!" her voice thundered through the cavern system.

The brothers bowed low to the ground in front of so much power of their queen and slowly backed away.

With the update we are going to apply at 2.15pm BST (GMT+1) / 15:15 CEST the two ant brothers guarding the "Kal Turok Hive" raid instance now will rest for a short time before taking up post again. It takes them a few hours rest before they can stand guard again. In turn the Ant Queen's chamber is now open at all times and the she will be facing the players once a day.

The servers will be available after a short downtime (app. 30min).

Now, what are you waiting for? Nobody should leave the Queen waiting!
