[EQII] Guess Who is Joining the EverQuest II Content Creator Program

It was because of this post over at Inventory Full that I even learned about the content creator program to begin with. Now, I haven’t actively played EQII since 2021 but I do have quite a long history with the game.

  • Met my husband in game (we’ve been together for 15 years, married for 9, and have 2 children)
  • Went to San Diego to interview the team for Beckett MOG (back when magazines were a thing) some of those folks are still around!
  • I have more than 500 blog posts about that single game, more than any other game I’ve ever written about – plus various videos kicking around YouTube.

One of the options when you sign up for the program is that you can mark yourself as a returning player, so that’s what I did. They ask you about your current content creation (which I admitted did not currently involve EverQuestII, but did involve other MMORPG and has been done on a fairly steady basis for a large number of years) and all of the basic questions that you would expect. It did take some time to hear back, the program is just rolling out and things are still getting set up.

One question my husband asked me, was WHY I would sign up. Why did this interest me. Aside from my long history with the game, I’ve been looking for a little extra motivation & inspiration when it comes to content creation. I oftentimes talk about how easy it is to lose yourself in parenthood and just be “so and so’s wife, so and so’s mom” without an identity. I’ve always loved sharing games I’m passionate about, and I’ve kept this blog up through all of the trials and tribulations, writing about those games. I wanted a little more motivation to go beyond the blog. I think this will help.

There you have it, the latest person to join the EQII content creator program. I hope to post some great things over time. If you’re looking for me over on socials, here’s my carrd.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

A Little Deluge

I’ve been using a squall to haul planetary interaction components around high sec, but I wanted something with a little more protection because lately the gate camps have been hot and heavy – so I picked up a Deluge. The biggest difference (besides straight up hitpoints) is that I can warp while cloaked. With the Squall I was using the MWD + Cloak trick each jump, which is fine, but is also quite hands on. The Deluge does haul less than the squall which I also find a bit annoying, but I can deal with that. The high sec static out of my wormhole today happened to be only 5 jumps from my home system, so I decided to take an impromptu trip and brought everything out. Normally I do this just once a week on a specific day, but it’s always nice to take advantage of a close connection.

The Legion expansion released this week, and while I haven’t looked into it that much, I did notice that the AIR Career rewards have been bumped up so that there is an Alpha reward channel and an Omega reward channel. If you had already completed the AIR Career path, you got to retroactively claim all of the goodies, which is pretty nice. My main character is currently sitting on almost 2 million training points because I’m just not sure what I want to spend them on. I do have a skill queue going but nothing in it is essential, so I continue to hold onto those points in case there’s something that comes along that I NEED to get immediately.

I’m not sure what I want to work towards / do in game these days. My signal cartel character can finally fly a Tengu, so I’ve been getting situated with that. I’m currently training all of the subskills and whatever else goes along with that particular ship so I can do it well. My ‘main’ has been able to fly a Tengu for quite a number of years, and it still continues to be one of my favourite ships because it can ‘do it all’ as far as things I enjoy doing in game. Anyway, hopefully I decided what I want to do, and then I can write about it here, we’ll see.

As always, fly your way!
