Congrats on the gems. That was a tough fight and you had to earn them on this shard. The double spawn of named shadowlords was, hmmmm, unique.
Yes, that is me standing in the dungeon with the SL before the event. Seems history repeated itself ... *remembers the gate in shadowlord base and how everyone could access it at first* ... nosey, errrrrr, inquisitive stealther types do a lot of scouting. Imagine my surprise when I wandered up on the demon temple and said the entry word that had been used on Great Lakes the night before and found myself face to face with the shadowlords (and dying instantly).

I set a macro to say the word and hide immeditately and managed to get in and stay alive (third time the charm).
After discovering this little deja vu moment, I messaged a friend who contacted a friend who got hold of someone who removed the teleporter. But for hours before the event you could get in. I stayed inside until the event started to see if anyone else figured it out and to get video of the first players dropping into the dungeon. (long video)

And yes, Arabella, Lake Superior is one of the most unselfish shards you can play. I went to Great Lakes for the faction play but I come home to LS when I need to remember what playing this game can really be. Congrats to all the players that pulled together and showed exactly what a community can do.
Welcome to LS Arabella! For those of you that don't know, she is Me Me and her real life daughter is Goat. The two crazy "kids" that fought the crimsons with no armor on newbie chars. These two are excellent faction and all around players. Give them a chance to train and gear up and LS has gained two incredibly dedicated and talented players.
Their never-give-up attitude even got the attention of the EM, so I am told. I guess at one point the EM started stacking their bodies! A player got a screenie of it and I hope to post that soon too.
