Bonus XP Weekend Feb 12-Feb 15 2009 & Retail Boxes

From EQ2 Wire:
Bonus XP Weekend!

Kiara brings us news that this will be a Bonus XP Weekend!!

All forms of experience (Achievement, Adventure, and Tradeskill) will receive a 30% bonus from Friday Feb 12th @ 3pm PST (6pm EST) until Monday Feb 15th @ 11:59pm PST (Feb 16 @ 2:59pm EST) when the servers will be brought down to patch the Sentinel’s Fate expansion as well as Game Update 55.

Retail Boxes

Some players have reported seeing Sentinel’s Fate regular and Collector’s Edition boxes in retail stores. We’re glad to see this as it will make it easier for some players to buy the game early if they are not able to get to a retail store on the 16thl. Frankly, the release date doesn’t really matter on an MMORPG. Until the servers themselves are patched, you cannot play the new content.

Kiara has encouraged players to NOT enter Sentinel’s Fate product keys into the system (Station.com) until February 16th. The system may get confused by a prematurely entered key. O.o

EQ2Wire Beta Tour of Sentinel�s Fate

From EQ2Wire:

EQ2Wire got an invitation to go on a tour of the Sentinel’s Fate Beta with the lovely Christine “Kiara” Renzetti, EQII Community Manager, last month and we’re now able to post some screens and details of that tour. We were able to check out the hub city of Paineel, the sprawling open dungeon the Hole, the Vasty Deep Conservatory, and the Erudin Library.

I believe the most stunning aspect and lasting appeal of Sentinel’s Fate will be the artwork.

The Shadow Odyssey artwork was not my favorite. I found the “void” look of purples, greys, and sharp edges just didn’t appeal to me. Also it seemed that many of the NPCs and monsters in these zones were not entirely new.

If you ask many players, I think they will tell you their favorite artwork in the game’s zones have been Kingdom of Sky and Pillars of Flame.

I think fans of that design will be thrilled to see Sentinel’s Fate make a return to the bright color palette and rich zone design of the past, while at the same time not simply recycling what we’ve seen before. The Conservatory is an eye-popping visual feast. As we saw at Fan Faire, the developers have been working hard to add completely new monster and NPC appearances.

One of my favorite parts of the Sentinel’s Fate zones I’ve seen so far is the influence of housing on zone design. Most dungeons in Sentinel’s Fate were laid out in a very “down to business” fashion. Long corridors full of monsters that need killing RIGHT NOW.

Sentinel’s Fate, as far as I have explored, seems to have a more “lived in” feel which I find very appealing.

Armor Appearances

This was not part of the Beta Tour, but we thought I’d throw in some screens of some of the armor I’ve seen in game. These are mostly the Raid armor sets from Sentinel’s Fate.

Beta Tours Around the Interwebs

EQ2Wire is all about newsworthy rumors, scoops, announcements, and breaking news. But if you’d like to read a much more extensive Beta Tour, it’s worth checking out the Beta Tour at EQ2 ZAM by Calthine and Kain. Each of us have exclusive screen shots of Sentinel’s Fate.

Niami has also started to post her Beta Tour and Sentinel’s Fate Info. I know she has been working diligently to document all of the tradeskilling there is to see on the Sentinel’s Fate Beta and will continue to make EQTraders your one-stop shop for Tradeskill info. Check out the screen snapshoty goodness Niami has posted so far at EQTraders.

Erollisi Day

From Zam:

'Tis the season of love, and Norrathians everywhere are feeling it... Erollisi Day is right around the corner! New craftables, the Hearts a Flutter Contest, and a new quest in the series that takes you to an... unexpected location. Gather roses in Enchanted Lands and earn titles giving them away!

ZAM has all the info should you need a hand! Erollisi Day 2010 runs from Febbruary 4 through February 16, 2010.

Battlegrounds!

From EQ2Wire:

EQ2Battlegrounds.com has been launched with new information and screen shots of the new Battlegrounds cross-server PvP system being added to EverQuest II.

Battlefield of Ganak – a zone reminiscent of Kunzar Jungle
- Capture the Flag
- Group vs. Group (6 on 6)

Smuggler’s Den
- Hold Territory
- Group vs. Group (6 on 6)

Gears of Klak’anon – takes place in a technological labyrinth in the midst of a scrapyard
- Hold the Relic
- Raid vs. Raid (24 on 24)

Again, these are cross-server zones, which means you will be able to group up with and battle players on other servers in North America, Europe, across both PvE and PvP servers.

Tokens will be rewarded which can be used to purchase special Battlegrounds PvP gear. This gear, and the rewards are NOT being designed as a progression path, and you will NOT need this gear to solo, group, or raid in the Sentinel’s Fate expansion. However it is conceivable that some raid guilds will expect players to have certain gear.

If you are familiar with existing PvP in EQ2 or want some more details, you might check out the PvP Changes thread. In that thread, we also learn that we may get a third set of armor slots besides Main and Appearance — PvP armor.

Bonus Exp Weekend!

Greetings Norrathians! There will be a bonus applied to adventure and tradesill experience this weekend, starting at 3:00 p.m. PST on Friday, January 15th and ending at 10:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday, January 19th.

Happy and safe adventuring!

PVP Battlegrounds in 2010
