If you listened to our EQ2Wire Podcast with Kander or have been reading EQ2’s Update Notes lately, you know that last year’s “Weekly Updates” are out and bigger less frequent updates are back in. The “weekly feature” idea ended up being a drain on the dev team and we might have gotten an even bigger expansion were it not for the requisite deadlines of such a schedule. We’re glad to see this idea go away and to see the dev team able to once again release things on a schedule that maximizes their capability to give us great content. This...

Here are our recent updates to our EQ2U Players site which are all about keeping up with the Joneses!! Gemmed Gear Gadget The Altar of Malice expansion builds upon the itemization changes begun with Tears of Veeshan. The number of “stat packages” gives players more choices in their gear selections, especially for fighters and certain priest classes. Also with the introduction of upgrade gems, it’s more important than ever to keep all the sets of gear straight! To respond to this need, we’ve introduced a “Gemmed Gear Gadget” page to EQ2U. This new Gemmed Gear Gadget page lets you...
From Holly “Windstalker” Longdale on the EQ2 Forums: Hidey-Ho Norrathians! We’re excited to announce that we will soon be updating our Heroic Characters to start at level 90! We feel this change will help players keep up with our growth in free content and with the pace of the game due to our new level increase included in the Altar of Malice expansion. The price for the upgraded characters remains at 3500SC per Heroic Character, but we’ve made some improvements! What’s the difference? Purchased Level 90 Heroic Characters will come with Level 90 (Adventure only), 320AAs, a full set...
While Legends of Norrath may not be receiving much developer attention these days, it still has a playerbase, with people logging in to open loot cards for in-game items in their native games (EQ and EQ2), and people running the in-game scenarios for rewards or just the enjoyment of it. Over the past few days, players have been experiencing “synchronization” issues with their cards disappearing from their inventory. Some quotes: When I check my collection tab it shows that I have 0 cards. I tried to validate game files, open and close the LoN window, delete and reinstall.. It’s...

The recent Altar of Malice expansion includes several Named enemies in the overland Tranquil Sea and Phantom Sea zones. These names not only complete weekly Missions and Achievements, but also grant Ferrin (expansion currency), AoM armor gems, and personal status. These tantalizing rewards have led enterprising players to park their characters at the spawn locations with Mercenaries and/or Pets set to defend them. The mobs are therefore engaged within seconds of spawning, preventing others from even trying. There really is no contest. EQ2 Lead Designer Kander has already applied one change to mitigate this AFK camping, and in a forum post he describes...
After 7 years in operation, we’re getting our moment in the sun! EQ2 Community maven Racheal “Afista“ has posted our very own Norrathian Spotlight on the EQ2 Forums: There are many amazing players in the EverQuest 2 community that spend time making the game more enjoyable for their fellow players.
