Just in time for the last day of early bird SOE Live 2014 registration, the Official Schedule (minus Player Panels) has been posted! Realize that the schedule is subject to change.

And don’t worry! We will be updating our EQ2Wire SOE Live Schedule webapp (which works on Android, Windows Phone, and iOS) for 2014. We will also be adding a warning to remind people that if you make a custom schedule, it will ONLY be saved if you take the extra step to Add to Home Screen. 🙂
Gotta love them doing a “Zombie Prom Party” during the “Year of EverQuest”. That’ll be a night out trouncing bars for me!
This is the second year I am considering skipping the party altogether.
What, you don’t unconditionally love zombies? 😉
Agreed, zombies are so done.
If I ever thought that SOE Live 2013 was the “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” year for EQII – I guess in 2014 we’ve been Cousin Oliver’ed.
Perhaps I am being a little premature in passing judgment based on the highlights of the schedule so far, but doesn’t it seem EQ2 Lite this year?
And don’t even get me started on scheduling anything other than the brunch on Sunday…
You knew last year that they would schedule things for sunday. We just planned to stay till monday
Over half the attendees are interested in either EQ or EQ2. Are you suggesting they should present more content that is tailored towards the people who are actually attending? 🙂
It looks like everyone has to drag their butts out of bed on Saturday morning for the 10 AM EQ2 AWESOME ART PANEL!!!
You know I will be there!
If you missed last year’s panel…
