Living Legacy Launches!

As you may have seen the Living Legacy Web site – we’ve been hard at work preparing to bring back some old time players, and at the same time, bring in some new players for all of us to enjoy. Working on a far reaching marketing blitz such as this has a lot of implications, most of which can’t be discussed until after the fact :) So, for the past several months, we’ve been busy as beavers trying to integrate some of our previously existing plans into the larger whole of this promotion. The fact is, we are pretty pleased to have so many people enjoy our games, and we think there are some people who may have left for various reasons that have changed over time, and they deserve an opportunity to try our games again. If you were with us at launch, think back to how much the game really has changed, mostly in response to your suggestions, comments, etc, both at Fan Faires (sign up now!) or in various boards.

From new races, to new starting areas, to new zones, to exciting new play mechanics, and of course the awesome loot to be had, the game has grown substantially from where it was at launch. This team has continued to make EverQuest II the best game out there, in my humble opinion.  The game really is a new experience, both fun and engaging, and we’re excited to show it off. Of course, most of these events occurring during this promotion are targeted at everyone, not just people who may be new or returning. Even in the next update: ‘Gathering Tempest’, there will be a full new quest line, and a heroic version of Runnyeye to play in. We hope that you will find the time to come back to EQII, and be one of the true living legends!

  1. From my Posting on the EQdev blog site

    “I would like to see an Everquest Pass, providing access to both Everquest games without the additional games provided by the station pass.
    A suggested price might be 2/3 the value of holding both accounts, ie $20.00 US a month.
    A service like this might encourage more players to be active in both games, helping the player population in both over all.”

  2. I’ve just found out about the EQ2 Dev blog and I must confess that I think the the Living Legacy promotion is brilliant. As a former trial user (from 2005!) who planned on getting EQ2 but followed friends to WoW, EQ2 has always been something I meant to come back to someday and the LL promotion gave me a perfect reason to jump in.

    Whereas my last memories of EQ’s starting experience were somewhat less favourable (this was during the time of Isle of Refuge and everyone only chose their archetype at creation I believe) I am having a blast playing now. The many refinements from launch til the latest updates really did wonders.

    I believe I’m gonna be converting to a regular subscriber come LL’s end. I hope to see more great things from the team, congratulations.
