Game Update 54 & Sentinel’s Fate Beta

Game Update 54 — December 8th

We are now expecting Game Update #54 — Will of a Tyrant to go live on Wednesday, December 9th. EQ2 Forums Announcement

Game Update 54 contains:

• Over 300 bugfixes
• 40 slot crafted bags and strongboxes
• choice of Melee or Ranged default AutoAttack
• added tiles and house items to the Moonlight Enchantments event (20th of every month)

Game Update 54 also see the second prelude event leading up to the Sentinel’s Fate expansion. You can read the EQ2Players writeup on this Attack on the Crowns event, and when the event goes live, head over to EQ2 ZAM which already has a full walkthrough of the entire event.

In Game Update 54, we’ll also see the conclusion of the Spires event. It is currently unclear whether the Spires Merchants will be sticking around after GU54 goes live, so go ahead and run all your quests and buy everything off the vendor you wanted to buy.

Niami at EQ2Traders has a great writeup of everything in Game Update 54, check it out!

In other news, the Sentinel’s Fate expansion Beta registration process has begun. To sign up, visit EQ2Players.com and fill out the NDA and form. Sources indicate that the first Beta invites will go out mid-December, perhaps earlier. Currently the /beta command is not switched on on live servers.

And we have seen reports that players with a month-to-month or 30 day card subscriptions are currently not able to sign up for the Beta. They’ve been advised to contact Customer Service.
