These two guild halls may be earned by purchasing guild tickets from the Marketplace [for $1 or 100DBC each]. Anyone within a guild may purchase and make use of these guild tickets.

The Norrathian Spotlight is an opportunity for the EQ2 Community to recognize one player per month who contributes to the player community in some measurable way. The last official nomination was in January 2015 when I was featured. I’m overjoyed to announce that fellow EQ2 players take up the mantle of identifying one player per month and interviewing them about how they make Norrath just a little bit better for everyone else. From Suka on the EQ2 Forums: Hi everyone. Starting this month, we will try to spotlight one person a month who contributes to our experience in Norrath....

Tonight is the last night of Frostfell until later this year, while tomorrow sees the unlocking of Kingdom of Sky on the Time-Locked Expansion servers. Meanwhile on live servers, in addition to a number of content fixes, we will also see a potentially significant change to AAs. Abilities that used to grant Crit Bonus will now grant Potency instead. Finally we must say goodbye to a feature that has worked inconsistently at best for many years but must have proven too difficult to fix. With tomorrow’s update, the PvP Arena feature will be disabled in EverQuest II, with the rewards...
EverQuest II has one of the most advanced decorating systems of any MMORPG. It likely has more house items than any other game, as evidenced by the frequently updated, screen-busting fansite EQ2Furniture which allows players to see a spinning preview of all 16,325 house items in Norrath. However this paradise of customization has become a huge data storage problem for the EQ2 team and players alike. Although the Dungeon Maker feature never lived up to its hype or even the lowest expectations due to the anemic customization and storytelling options it offered, it provided mass storage and an almost...
From the EQ2 Forums: GENERAL The /summon_chest command can no longer be used while on a transport. POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION Maldura: Palace Foray [Heroic] Dragoon Z’Koz will always drop a treasure chest.

Kralet Penumbra: The Master’s Chosen [Heroic] Necromantic Concentration buff can now appropriately be dispelled.
Table of Contents So what’s new in the expansion? How do I get started with the new expansion content? What do I get for completing ALL the quests in the expansion not just the Signature line?

There was some really important information on the Terrors of Thalumbra beta forums but they’ve disappeared! What itemization changes have there been in the ToT expansion?

Early this morning, the “Malicious Threat” prelude event was activated on all EQ2 live (non-TLE) servers. This event will undoubtedly tie current events into this fall’s upcoming expansion, while giving some hints of what we can expect later this year. The prelude event was tested on the Test server and is now live until September 16, 2015. Good players can start the “Malice in the Glade” quest in Greater Faydark while Evil players should start the “Malice in the Woods” version in Darklight Wood. Both quests start in Greater Faydark. These quest writeups are by Sigrdrifa. When the quest...

Last summer, EQ2 player Errrorr created a thread championing a new type of player mount — ducks. For forty-three pages, hilarity ensued. However the thread was put to bed by lead animator Tom “ttobey” Tobey in January of this year when it became clear from higher ups that we’d likely never get such a mount. Theories were bandied about that sales of the bunny mounts had not been sufficient to justify their development effort. It may have been felt that these more frivolous and genre-bending mounts just didn’t resonate with players. Personally I stick with flying appearance mounts so...
From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION Phantom Sea T’Kaela should no longer have an incorrect Rum Cellar requirement. F.S. Distillery: The Rum Cellar [Solo] At no time will death result in being stuck in the storeroom. The damage inflicted by Aerial Attack has been slightly increased. F.S. Distillery: Distill or Be Killed [Heroic] The cannon used against The Red Corsair will no longer be stuck in operation by another member of your party when it shouldn’t be. Charanda will no longer be stuck immune in either the normal or challenge mode encounters. Brokenskull Rum Party – No...
UPDATE: What was supposed to be a one hour downtime this morning has turned into an all day event of stumbling servers, uppity login servers, and unexpected downtime: Server Downtime April 21st Unable to Connect to Login Servers (created by Caith to let players know there’s a problem) General Discussion forum (numerous EQ2 servers have come down and back up) From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION Brokenskull Bay: Fury of the Cursed [Raid] Corrected an issue in the Captain Krasnok encounter that allowed the Spirit of Gluttony to be killed when it shouldn’t be.
