So for those folks behind on AAs, if you buy Chains of Eternity, you get an item you can claim 2 per account (not 1 per character) that if you are level 90 it dings you to 280AAs.
General
Waiting for Keynote #2 to start. Supposed to EQ, EQ2, and DCUO. Brasse talking about nVidia sponsor. Military gamers on stage. 10, 15, 20 years. This is for an nVidia GeForce 6600Ti card. DCUO keynote up first. Will come back with EQ2 stuff. Wrapping up DCUO. Waiting for EQ or EQ2.
This is a more behind-the-scenes technical type panel, so will not be covered live on EQ2Wire. I’m recording a video. Also got a video of the ProSieben panel. Thanks Dedith — you rock!!! UPDATE: Getting Cozy with Coders was not like Geek Panel last year. Instead, it was EQ2 devs at the front of the room and players can just go up and ask them questions. So kind of an organized Kelethin, without alcohol. 5pm panel is Fansite panel. Nobody told me what I’m supposed to do/so so I guess I’ll just wing it. 😉 Next info is SOE...
Sorry for the late start. I am videoing this panel as well. Just typing the most important stuff: * Remove Adornments from items * Adjustment to Mentor Experience * Group XP Penalty is gone – must be on hate list * 280 AA reward with the expansion * Guild Chronomage * Guild Deity Altars * Guild Standards more
The Data Feeds (Census) panel is just starting in Las Vegas and Dethdlr and I will be presenting a talk about how EQ2U started and our plans for the future. The big news is, we are unveiling a feature we’ve been working on for some time — Achievements. I wanted to do this feature right, and further, I wanted it easier to read than both EQ2Players, and the in-game Achievements window. I hope you’ll agree that we’ve accomplished that! Go ahead and head over to EQ2U and check out the new Achieve tab on each character.
Just starting the EQ2 Art & Animation panel. Dave “covic” Brown, Tom Tobey, Aaron “Gnobrin” Bisnett, Chris Myers Lotsa slides. This is a visual panel, so not going to be a lot of updates. How we create a 3D environment Showing a flythrough of a new outdoor 3D dungeon that’s being worked on. The expac will have 9 individual dungeons (not repurposed)
Player Studio panel starting… Recap of info that has been posted so far. [Editor’s Note: E-mail just received from SOE “Player Studio Now Accepting Game Item Submissions”] From Submission to game * Submission *Evaluation * Paperwork * Art Finishing * Item Design * Item Creation * Placement into world * Testing * Merchandising in Station Cash store * Deployment scheduling * Deployment * Free item delivery [to creator] * Quarterly payments in US $ by mail

Just left the EQ2Wire get-together at the Burger Brasserie.

Well, this should change the tone and tenor of the ProSiebenSat.1 Panel at SOE Live a bit. From SOE President John Smedley‘s twitter: [I] wanted to thank our players for continuing feedback. We’ve been listening along with our European partners at Prosieben. We’ve found a way to let existing players of our current games that are migrating over to Prosieben (EQ, EQ II, Planetside 2) keep their SOE accounts and stay with SOE. Down the road we may offer an option to move over to Prosieben. Just to be clear after these games launch on Prosieben’s service new accounts...
If you have attended past Fan Faires and are an iPhone user, then you are likely already familiar with Greg “Rothgar” Spence‘s Fan Faire iPhone app. Greg developed this app in his extremely limited spare time and has maintained it over the past two years. If, however, you are an Android or Windows Mobile user, you’ve been waiting for your own app for going on 3 years now. Greg developed his Fan Faire Schedule app for the iPhone because that’s the device he owns. He’s always been eager for others to step up and make their own apps for...
On Thursday, October 18th from 5-6:30pm, Morgan Feldon of EQ2Wire and Dethdlr of EQ2U will be having an informal get-together at Le Burger Brasserie in the bar area.

Here’s one of those things that would have been great to know before SOE Live 2012 Registration closed. 😉 It turns out that attendees of the upcoming SOE Live 2012 who purchased a Day Pass ($40) to attend either Friday or Saturday events in Las Vegas will get not only the EverQuest: Rain of Fear and EverQuest II: Chains of Eternity expansions, but also the in-game items. This is unusual compared to past years where only the $140 All Access Pass option granted said items. Since the trend today seems to be complaining about free stuff, let’s complain about...
It’s October which must mean it’s time for the annual Nights of the Dead celebration to return to Norrath.
