Feldon Believe it or not, it’s almost time for the first vote for whether the first EQ2 expansion “Desert of Flames” will go live next month or be held back. Players already voted on the first two Adventure Packs “Splitpaw” and “Bloodline Chronicles” and they will go live this August 20th. Remember it’s a Time-Locked Expansion Server, so it’s up to popular vote for how quickly the server progresses, not one raid guild clearing content.
From the EQ2 Forums:
Good day, Stormhold and Deathtoll inhabitants!
I’ve received a lot of questions about the shape of things to come on the TLE servers, so here’s a few answers.
ADVENTURE PACKS VOTE RESULTS: YES!
We sent out a vote for the Adventure Packs — “Splitpaw” and “Bloodline Chronicles” – asking if you’d like us to release them before the first expansion release, Desert of Flames. The final tally was YES with 80% of the votes.
Both of the Adventure Packs will release this Thursday, August 20 during an update and will be live approximately 9am PDT.
DESERT OF FLAME EXPANSION VOTE & RELEASE DETAILS
The expansion release vote will begin on August 21 at 12pm PDT through August 28 at 12pm PDT (one week).
A “Yes” vote will result in the expansion opening on Thursday, Sept. 3 during a hotfix and be live about 9am PDT.
If the vote is “No” then the expansion will not release and the same vote will resurface again on September 21.
Details for the vote are:
- All levels (tradeskill and adventure) can vote Yes or No to the Desert of Flames expansion releasing on September 3, just over a week following the completion of the vote.
- We only recognize one, and only the first, vote per account (though all of a player’s characters on TLE will receive an in-game vote in their mail).
- It will take a majority vote of 2/3 (or more) of the server votes to unlock the next expansion.
We’re enormously grateful for the support of all of our players and we’re excited about how the Time-Locked Expansion servers are moving forward!
