Feldon From Holly “Windstalker” Longdale on the EQ2 Forums:
Good day Norrathians!
We’re heading into summer and looking ahead to more entertaining updates and the expansion. Below I’m going to list the update plans like I did last month to keep you in the loop on what’s coming up!
For July, including this week:
•Status Point Merchant Updates: New items added
•Summer Ethereal weapons! And we’ll have Artifact versions of these too!
•Aerakyn Lore & Legend Quest
•Tinkerfest!
•Ages End: The Final Chapter (a X2 instance)And in August:
•New Loyalty items
•Nexus Duo Challenge instance. (Also SOE Live week!)
•Moonlight Enchantments content additions
•Status Point XP Bonus Days
We also have a few promotions, too. We’re going to run a “Holidays in July” sale from July 3-8 that will include all previous holiday items (Frostfell, Nights of the Dead, etc.). At the same time we will run a 40% off rebate for most items in the store. Heroic Characters will be excluded, but remain at 25% off for members. The ToV expansion will remain at 15% for everyone.
Come join us in Norrath this summer!
Sincerely, as always,
Holly “Windstalker” Longdale

If ages end final chapter is Kerafrym being dealt with I will be immensely annoyed that it’s an x2 when they could have made it an x4 and not had Deathtoll.
i love the idea of a x2, thanks SOE!
Yeah because we all know SoE has handled X2’s properly in the past 4 years…
Why would they end the main storyline of EQ2 with an X2? This is ridiculous.
“Why would they end the main storyline of EQ2 with an X2? This is ridiculous.”
Agreed!
Challenge mode x2? Maybe there will be other versions like adv solo, heroic, x4…and wouldn’t a double x4 (8 group) be sorta cool (if lag didn’t destroy the zone)? It is the age’s end, right?
And if you more than X times, all of the avatars appear, heckle you ruthlessly, take some loot away from the loot table , penalise everyone a couple of AA’s and “save the day” so you can try again another day. The script would have to be recoverable with no chance to dps or heal through it. The encounter could only be killed a limited number of times (maybe once). Best loot for 1 pull could be something ridiculous like an item that has 1 charge to smite almost anything (but destroying it, not killing…so no achievement or loot). Basically, stupid op single use thing only “elite players” can get (or at least well coordinated players with 47 friends like them). ;-D
It’d be fun to see people take a stab at it…like first kill of the sleeper in eq1, but by design. Players doing the “impossible” doesn’t seem to happen much these days.
x2 raid with fabled deathtoll loot set up with it being the ending to the storyline…
