TLE/Prestige Servers
Because we have awesome devs, and through some game archaeology, the EQ2 team have been able to bring back one of the original Avatars to coincide with today’s unlocking of the Echoes of Faydwer expansion on the Stormhold Time-Locked Expansion server. If this devilishly difficult Avatar proves popular, additional avatars of that era might conceivably be brought back as well. The initial versions of these avatars were complex, requiring a tightly coordinated strategy. From the EQ2 Forums: Do YOU have what it takes to defeat the Avatar of Growth, Tunare? This contested raid is now available on Stormhold, our...

From the EQ2 Forums: Hey all, We’ve combined the results from Stormhold and Deathtoll for the March TLE vote, and players have chosen to unlock Echoes of Faydwer content on our Time-Locked Expansion server! Echoes of Faydwer content is scheduled to unlock on Stormhold on Thursday, April 7, 2016 at 12PM (NOON) PDT.
Introduced as an addon feature fourteen months after the game’s launch, Player vs Player combat in EverQuest II has always had an identity crisis. In spring 2006, open-world PvP was bolted onto EverQuest II’s core game through the introduction of several open world PvP or “red” servers — Darathar (UK), Talendor (DE), Gorenaire (FR), Venekor (US RP), Vox (US), and of course Nagafen (US). In 2009, the population of Venekor, a RP PvP server, was merged with Nagafen. With the collapse of LiveGamer player auctions in 2011, Nagafen absorbed the Vox population. Despite significant and later sporadic development effort to...
From EQ2 Lead Designer Kyle “Kander” Vallee on the EQ2 Forums: Hello everyone, I wanted to take a moment to tell you exactly what is going on with the TLE servers. Itemization We’re done with global adjustments to Kingdom of Sky loot. We know that some items simply do not measure up, and we are absolutely fixing/adjusting these on a case by case basis as we find them (such as the Gnorble earring brought to our attention today). In this time, we have done a thorough pass on Echoes of Faydwer loot to assure the progression is significantly better...
From the EQ2 Forums: TIME-LOCKED EXPANSION Made adjustments to most NPCs to make lower level encounters less punishing. POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION General Fixed an issue where actors being killed could set the zone lockout in persistent dungeons. Kralet Penumbra: The Master’s Chosen [Heroic] Servitor of Yothshaval’s spell “In Service of the Master” damage has been reduced, but a power drain component added. Kralet Penumbra: Tepid Depths [Agnostic] Updated an encounter of Aberrants within the Tepid Depths to be of the appropriate agnostic challenge. MERCENARIES Increased the time before a mercenary auto suspends. ABILITIES / ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT Summoners Summoned Pets will...
It seems like just yesterday that Kingdom of Sky was unlocked on Stormhold and Deathtoll servers, yet here we are once again with an in-game poll. From the EQ2 Forums: Hey all, The vote to unlock Echoes of Faydwer is now available on Stormhold and Deathtoll servers! This poll will last one week. Will YOU vote to unlock Echoes of Faydwer on your Time-Locked Expansion server? The original wallpaper for the expansion, after the jump…
Have you got Stormhold (TLE PvE) or Deathtoll (TLE PvP) characters on another account and want to move them to your main account? Do you have them on your main account and want to move them to another account? Now you can. This is a manual process handled through Customer Service and it requires both accounts to be in the same name and address and, I believe, paid with the same credit card. Note that this is not opening up the much-desired ability to move characters from the Stormhold or Deathtoll servers to a standard ruleset server. From Roshen...
Like previous expansions, Terrors of Thalumbra includes shiny “collections of collections” or meta-collections. A number of the expansion’s collections reward a piece which is part of a larger collection. When the expansion launched however, some of these pieces were not being rewarded. This week, Caith went through game logs to award the correct items to the players who had completed the quests but didn’t receive the pieces. From Kander: We have started reimbursing these missed meta collection pieces. If you haven’t been reimbursed for missed metas, Please email me. KVALLEE@daybreakgames.com Email me if you have collections you have completed...
From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION Time-Locked Expansion Servers Fixed an issue with named encounters not receiving their full mitigation.

Clara’s Chaotic Cacophony’s debuff component will no longer overwrite itself when cast by a different caster. ITEMS Baby Dragon Burbur (Chestnut) petamorph wand now properly converts into a house item, and back again. Amplifying Stamina and Amplifying Combo effects will once again display the effect range. Disciple’s Fervor will...
This morning came the announcement: Kingdom of Sky is now available on our Time-Locked Expansion servers, Stormhold and Deathtoll. The announcement included some artwork I’ve personally never seen… We also saw a high resolution map of the islands making up Tenebrous Tangle, the Barren Sky, and the Bonemire. Community also polled players on Twitter and Facebook asking “What have been your favorite places to explore, as you’ve adventured through the lands of 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...

This morning, the Desert of Flames expansion was expected to go live on the Time-Locked Expansion servers of Deathtoll (PvP) and Stormhold (PvE). However things did not go according to plan. Desert of Flames didn’t activate and some players cashed in Collections but did not receive any XP for doing so. Windstalker and the EQ2 team did provide frequent in-game updates to players on the TLE servers about what was going on, notifying them of a server bounce at 9:30am which resolved the issue. Roshen also provided this update about 90 minutes ago: Stormhold and Deathtoll are coming back up...
