I decided to leave behind the Freeport home, and move to the 7 year veteran reward – Mistmoore Craig Estate. Placing those 300+ books was an enormous pain, but completely worth it. Enjoy!

Video: 1 Room Inn (Baubleshire) #EQ2
You don’t need to have a huge mansion in order to do really neat things in EQ2 housing – this video is of my Templar’s home, Dasie. She’s a halfling (that automatically makes her home amazing without any work) on the Oasis server. Enjoy!
Destiny of Velious Postponed & Pre-Orders Announced #EQ2
Players will be able to pre-order the next EQ2 expansion starting on January 18th according to the EQ2players web site. On that same note, if you were looking forward to diving into the expansion at the previous release date of February 8th, you’ll have a little bit more of a wait. It’s been said that the expansion will now be releasing the 22nd of February.
As you know, we’ve been working hard on the “Destiny of Velious” expansion pack. It was originally scheduled for release on Feb 8th, but after getting feedback from players, spending time playing the game internally, and discussing ways to make things better, we’ve decided to move the release date back to Feb 22nd instead.
Feb 22nd gives us another couple of weeks for polish, tuning, and a honing of the fun factor for the expansion. We think the wait will be well worthwhile.
Check EverQuest2.com for the announcement on pre-order dates! And also stay tuned for an announcement about a raft of cool events coming out in the week after DoV becomes available!
On a side note, we’ll be adding another batch of players into the Closed Beta on Jan 24th, so if you put in an application and haven’t been accepted yet, don’t give up yet. Your time may be coming! – SmokeJumper announced on the EQ2 forums.
Fine tuning is always a good thing and I have no doubt that the developers and community involved are all working incredibly hard to get this expansion out the door. Thoughts? Please feel free to post them in comments below!
Vanguard Bloopers
The video sort of explains itself. I picked up Fraps (I typically use Game Cam to record my play sessions but it doesn’t work for this particular game) and decided to record a little of Vanguard. Expect more in the future! Or maybe not, you’ve been warned.
Moments That Make You Go Woah #MMO #MMORPG
When a game really clicks with me I can count on a specific moment or two when I (literally) take a second and think to myself ‘Woah. THAT is cool!’ Thankfully even with years of games behind me and more game selections than I can shake a stick at, I still have these moments. The majority of the time it’s when I encounter something that is larger than myself. Pictured above: Toxxulia flying around Sundered Frontier in EverQuest 2. When a raid is working on her she has two seperate scripts, one for easy mode and one for hard mode. One of them causes her to fly off around Sundered Frontier and players will often see her (as well as see the emotes). Dragons always seem to elicit those “ohhhh” moments from me in pretty much every game.
In Rift I had that feeling during my first invasion. I mean rifts were neat but they happen so frequently and you can defeat them with a handful of players if there are not more around. Invasions on the other hand, invasions can progress to a massive point and the bosses of these encounters are often times (literally) larger than life. As you and a group of 50 other players try to take on stone giants and other fabled creatures it really gives you a sense of wonder. EQ1 raids also gave me ‘chills’ – back before the days of 24 and 12 person limits.
What was your greatest ‘woah’ moment, in any MMO? Let me know in comments!
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
