Month: March 2014
Cyliena over at EQ2 ZAM has reported the appearance of a new Guild Hall type, based on the upper and lower parts of High Keep. This new Guild Hall choice is currently on Test, and was first noted by Kuulei. It’s unknown how the High Keep hall will be acquired/earned, or when it will become available. We’re still hoping for a Halas Tier 1 guild hall. Most smaller guilds only need a 5 room, and Halas has a beautiful exterior and great overall appearance. Read More
So this one ALMOST took me, but fortunately I read through the thread further and realized it was not posted by a developer or sourced from any official post. Originally entitled “PvP Update Notes for March 25, 2014“, a player named Xray started a thread laying out an extensive series of changes — some minor, some drastic rule changes — to the PvP-only Nagafen server which would completely change how the server works, and more importantly, make PvP relevant enough that players might come back. I won’t quote the entire bullet point manifesto, but it’s a captivating read if...

It seems appropriate that for the 15th anniversary of the original EverQuest, EQ2Talk takes a turn for the nostalgic with an extensive reminiscence about past expansions and what challenge means in MMOs. For its 74th episode of EQ2Talk, the lovely Aliscious takes a much-needed break and in her place, Dellmon‘s guildmate Osgz steps in to co-host. They ask the big questions, including whether EQ2...
