Day: May 12, 2010
It’s hard to believe that in 3 months we will be covering our third Fan Faire event and entering our third year of wheedling news and previews of EverQuest 2 expansions and game updates. We plan to offer the most comprehensive, up-to-the-minute coverage of the 2010 Fan Faire event. It’s challenging to come up with news on a daily basis, especially about a game that works in 3 month cycles.

In addition we’ve extended our logging in this area to help us better troubleshoot long...
From EQ2 ZAM: EverQuest II players have long hoped for an expansion returning players to Velious. Scars of Velious, the second expansion in the original EverQuest, was a favorite of long-time players. With the appearance of the the icy Order of Rime last summer many players were sure Velious was coming, and were surprised when Sentinel’s Fate took EQII players to the lost island of Odus. Astute player Vulkoor found some interesting files downloading in April, which included othmir (an otter race from Velious) and Tserrina the near-legendary boss of the original Tower of Frozen Shadow. The appearance of...
