So, we have a few follow-ups to things…
1. The Cave – It totally slipped my mind to make a post besides just updating the cave post. I will continue to just put theories there, but for those who have missed it, a new clue was released:
Martin_smith: I wouldn’t worry about it right now
Martin_smith: read the words
This obviously brings up a few issues. Exactly what is being referred to with the second sentence–the red text itself (“You feel a strange and chilling presence.”) or the first thing he said?
Secondly, the first part alone… This could mean:
A. It’s something not in game right now
and/or
B. Just something that can’t be done right away
I’m going to quote one of my comments real quick in reference to B:
Another idea is just that it requires multiple people to have something so you wouldn’t be able to do it right away. Kind of furthers my wondering over the first high drop rate pet as you’d only be able to get 1 a week so it would be 16 weeks (4 months) of completing HM TfB before everyone would have one.
…that’d be so cruel though.
As Telanis pointed out, technically 16 people could just go in after and then, if 16 people finished, and it was a locked out instance, yes, any 16 can go. On the otherhand, if it wasn’t, you’d need to have a group together for that first boss and the mobs on the way to the second boss.
Going on to the next follow-ups… The Wonderous Egg and Lobelode from a Dev:
To the Lobelode and the Wonderous Egg, the answer is that these two pets are not yet distributed in-game. I think this may have been a case of the community getting mis-informed by data mining.
I responded back with my concerns on the Wonderous Egg and why I had asked (The Lobelode doesn’t surprise me much, but it is nice to have that confirmed) and he asked for some links where I had been told about the Wonderous Egg and seen the information. Hoping for a response back as that is something he will definitely try and get more information on as it’s a very…odd situation.
Regardless, hopefully this means the fully confirmed answers aren’t far off and we’ll know soon. I will be moving the Lobelode off the Pet List for now.
and to end this, I wish I had 900K-1.2 million to get some Adept Enhancement 27’s 🙁
EXCELLENT work regarding the Orochick. I assume you told him that an employee told you that at least one player did get it? If there’s a conflict between that and what he thought was happening he’ll be more likely to want to get to the bottom of it 😛
Telanis
Pretty much 🙂 Hoping it all gets straightened out soon.

Looks like Dooku might have gotten looking for the cave too: http://www.holonetnews.com/54/news/1352_1.html
