Feldon Amnerys has posted an announcement on the EQ2 forums about exclusive items which SOE Live attendees will receive. It’s being presented in a rather peculiar way as a “$35 Loot Card” but really, it’s just a way of allowing SOE attendees to get the in-game rewards on the account they want, plus we’ll be able to buy these loot cards for friends. For in-game item for EQ2 players is a 66-slot bag with a Tears of Veeshan appearance.
No word on whether we’ll get the EQ and EQ2 expansions for going to Vegas this year. According to the letter sent out to premium SOE Live badge purchasers, the regular edition of the EQ and EQ2 expansions will be granted to our accounts.
The list of in-game items can be viewed here.
I’m pretty sure I read (I think in the letter that came with the SOELive badge) that premium attendees will receive the EQ and EQ2 expansions, standard edition. No luck for day pass holders. 🙁
That bag! I want that bag for appearance on my beastlord, she’s stuck with the adventurers backpack and that TOV backpack would look way better. Alas, I can’t go so i’ll be stuck with what I have.
It does state that if you pay to go but for some reason can’t attend the claim key will be emailed to you afterwards.
You missed out the bit where they say that additional “loot cards” can be purchased at the event for the price of $35. Though why anyone would is beyond me.

Nope, still having a failure of imagination on this one. $35 for an appearance item? Just does not compute for me.
66 slot bag with an appearance. But yeah unless you play multiple soe games it’s astronomical.
I’d pay for an extra if it was 1 per Character, but it’s likely 1 use only.
Hmm, I may just be getting an extra, Holly’s post states 1 per Character.
Most if not all soe live items have been one per character.
I’ve been an All-access member since before I started going to Fan Faire, from 2008 to now. I’ve gotten the in-game item for EVERY game for EVERY character that I have, and even every NEW character I make years after that particular Fan Faire is over. Now I only get it on ONE game?
It clearly states every character can claim it once (from that link, above) . . . but I’m still going from being an “all-access” member getting it for every game to having to now pay for the other games I play besides EQ2 . . . Other than EQ2 I play/dabble in EQ1, DCUO, Planetside 2, Landmark, and I plan on trying H1Z1 and EQNext.
So, quick math . . . I went from paying $21.99 a month. . . to $24.99 . . . to $29.99 . . . to $19.99 . . . . back to $14.99 (or as low as $9.99 if you pay for the year). But to get ALL the items for the games I play (and I am including the one free one I’ll use for EQ2), I’ll have to shell out $210.00 dollars? Hell, I’d rather go back to paying $19.99 a month. It’s cheaper.
What in the holy hell are you talking about? It’s $35 for all the rewards. Or if you bought an soe live badge.
Ohhhh . . . . well that’s different.
Nevermind.
