Today marks the introduction of Pegasus as the first premium flying mount available for purchase for StationCash. A bit of miscommunication led some to believe that purchasers of the mount would need to have completed the Gryphon Flying Mount 5-day quest in order to fly their Pegasus. We look no further than the press notice released by Amnerys, and confirmed by sources, clearly indicating that purchasers of the Pegasus and Dark Pegasus flying mounts can IMMEDIATELY fly with them provided they are level 85+, and do not need to do the Flying Mount quest timeline. Pegasus and Dark Pegasus...

An enigmatic comment from Dave “SmokeJumper” Georgeson, newly minted Executive Producer of the EverQuest franchise including EQ1 and EQ2: There’s also going to be a very cool feature announcement this week. Wednesday. Look for it. and regarding Server Upgrades: The other servers are coming. We intend to get them all installed in the very near future, but I don’t have details yet. I’ll find out and post something soon (after I get back from E3 probably…early next week). and regarding the future of Freeport and Qeynos (in response to a smarmy, but not off-base supposition by a player that...

Appearing today on the StationCash Marketplace, we now have our first Premium Flying Mount. It is a Pegasus with choice of light coloration with priest/mage stats, and dark coloration with fighter/scout stats. UPDATE: Both mounts have a +5 increase to skill stats used by priests, mages, fighters, and scouts. The price is 1950SC, which is $19.50 at normal SC rate or $6.50 if you got in on the recent Triple StationCash offer. The mounts require level 85 either tradeskill or adventure, but do not hinge upon completion of the 5-day flying mount questline. We expect more flying mounts in...
We’re now just 1 month away from SOE’s Fan Faire convention in Las Vegas and we have some news regarding those who intend to participate in the EQ2 tournament and/or costume contest. Unlike past EQ2 tournaments, this year’s will have little to do with actual EQ2 gameplay and instead be an Aether flying race, with players being selected for earning the fastest times. SOE Costume Contest The ever-popular SOE Fan Faire Costume Contest will be returning this year, and it’s going to be better than ever. We’ll be doing a few things differently this year. All contestants will need...
