When the Chains of Eternity expansion was announced, the Collector’s Edition goodies were revealed to include Krivix Honorclaw, a Werewolf Mercenary, a healer. Then at SOE Live, players suggested that it would be great to have a choice of healer or tank for the CE, and so the decision was made on the spot to offer a choice of Paladin or Templar for each person who claims the merc. Today, Holly “Windstalker” tweeted a screenshot of Krivok Honorclaw the Templar, who is a new Werewolf-like race, the Lujien:

So last night, we announced that we had made a snapshot of the AAs for some 150,000 characters which people could view at Beetny.com. We were pretty proud of ourselves until someone asked if that included the Beastlord warder AAs. It didn’t. Beatny doesn’t cover Beastlord warders. So because we try harder, we’ve gone back and made an actual backup of every character’s AAs right here on EQ2U and will hang onto it until well after the expansion. That’s over 416,000 characters. When the expansion hits on November 13th, you now have two backups you can use. The original...

From the EQ2 Forums: Krono is live in EQ2! Buy, trade, sell 30 days of Gold Membership time! To Buy or Use Krono in game, open your Character’s Equipment panel (“C” is the hotkey) and find the Krono interface at the bottom. For more detail, see http://tinyurl.com/eq2krono. The near universal reaction from players to the addition of Krono to the Character/Persona window has been that the UI elements are far too obtrusive. Left: The new Persona window with large Krono “Buy” and “Use” buttons at the bottom. Right: My mockup for a more subdued Krono interface. Clicking the left...
If you watched the SOE Live Keynote/Welcome Reception, or read our notes, you know that today October 29th is the day that Krono are being added to EQ2. This Plex-like currency allows players to trade platinum for a 30-day All Access Subscription (a $17.99 value). At the Business of EverQuest Franchise panel (read our notes), Dave “SmokeJumper” Georgeson indicated that this new currency would be a safer option for players to bypass the whole nail-biting “handoff” associated with the current SC-for-Plat trading scheme. It would also help cut out gold farmers and fraud.
