Chronoportals Offer Look into Past for EQ2
From EverQuest2.com:
From Wednesday, March 23rd @ 10:00am PDT [17:00 GMT] through Wednesday, March 30th @ 10:00am PDT [18:00 GMT]*, log in to EQII and take part in a week-long look back at Norrathian days of yore.
The EQII Team has created this fun event as an homage to EverQuest in honor of the momentous occasion, and although the lore doesn’t exactly fit the current story of EQII, they decided to make it extra enjoyable for those who were around for the first iteration of Norrath. Adventurers who take part in this journey through time will find some silly nods to EQ and moments of nostalgia as we reminisce about our heritage.
The Chronomages of Norrath need your help. They’ve felt surges in the fabric of time, and used their magic to investigate those surges. The results of their probes caused portals to open, connecting the present with the ancient days before The Shattering. You’ve been asked to go through the portals, face any challenges you may find, and return to help the Chronomages understand what’s happening.
Portals have opened in Sinking Sands, the Moors of Ykesha, Feerott, Thundering Steppes, Antonica, Steamfont, the Enchanted Lands, and Lavastorm. The mages ask that you investigate them all!
Journey through the portals to find the ancient heroes and villains of an age gone by. Reminisce about them. Then kill them and loot them for the really cool items they possess.
If you would like to read some interesting speculation about the locations of the Chronoportals, look no further than EQ2 ZAM.
* Europe goes on Daylight Savings on March 27th.

I didn’t play EQ1 so the nostalgia will be lost on me, but the event does sound fun and a good diversion.
Also I see a pegasus model being fought against in that last screenshot. I would speculate that if they made the model it’ll find a way into the game. Probably SC but I would hope a decent quest or reward.

This sounds like fun, but without any concrete information about the portals, it will be difficult to get started. I will do them when I know where the portals are. I am not much for running around looking for something when I haven’t a clue where to look.

So far it is looking like an event for groups of 90s in raid gear. Antonica chronos you down to 20 — and the mobs are 2^^ to a group heroics…

A friend of mine who is a guardian, and i a warden cleared most of the instances. He had to log out but i was able to solo partly through the south ro instance. When i got to the AC i had to evac because the NPCs trailed the spider on me. So i went back to solo it then tried the AC. He healed too much to solo him so i gave up. Then i got a pickup group for the guk one. So all in all I finished everything except the AC. Only because i was left to solo it lol…
