Fan Faire. Can you smell the excitement? This is what it really is all about, this is our opportunity to recharge the batteries, to really chat in an informal and formal way with the folks who enjoy our game without any barriers. So far, we’ve had a wonderful time, and there’s another day to go!
Of course, I can’t really post here without mentioning the big announcement of our upcoming expansion. Yes, it’s called EverQuest II: The Shadow Odyssey, and we’re pretty stoked. With over 20 areas to fight in, including Innothule as a central location, things are looking great for this fall. You’ll see Mistmoore, Najena, Guk, and Befallen, with many zones with content that scales from 50 to 80. We’ve got an exiting new Dungeon Delving / mission system which will allow you to do daily quests to get experience, faction, and loot. There will be a whole slew of new achievements, since we’re raising the cap to 200, and you’ll see improved critical damage, critical mitigation, and new pet buffs amongst other exciting things. Did I hear you say Heritage Quests? Why, yes, we’ve got several of those. In addition to tons of normal quests, and even a couple of deities are returning to Norrath, in the avatars of Rodcet Nife and Anashti Sul.
Not so much into the Adventuring side, but fascinated by Tradeskilling? We’re going to be introducing several new Tradeskill dungeons, and provide a raid like experience for you, where you’ll group together to complete a goal of crafting in order to earn faction and purchase recipes.
We’re going to start talking about all of these things in tomorrow’s panels, so if you’re here at Fan Faire, start writing down your questions, and we’ll try to answer them to the best of our ability.
Finally, thank you, one and all, for your continued enjoyment of EverQuest II. I speak for not only the development staff, but all of SOE when I say we appreciate your participation in the exciting world of Norrath!
