Well, for those of you who didn't check it out on test, here's a quick peek at the new starting city for evils. My inkies are going home at last!

Video's not the best, but it has a few "OooooOOOOooo..." moments, so thought I'd share.

The "new" dark fae race (which look suspiciously like normal fae with emo haircuts) are also live as of today.

We alt-aholics also got a new character slot. About damned time!

[Boogahz]

Bring some of those alts to play with my Wizard while I catch up in levels. I am up to 40 now!

I made a little fae bruiser.
The zones are very well done.

[Dregor Thule]

Tell me it's called the Darklight Faire and is only there for 1 weekend of the month. Please!

Looks cool, tho I still despise the Fae, even if they're more goth looking for evil players. Any new screens for RoK?

[Niffoni]

The Emo-fae do the South Park emo kid dance

What's the most uberest zone/dungeon in EQ2 these days?

What's the most uberest zone/dungeon in EQ2 these days?

Raid-wise, you're looking at Emerald Halls in Lesser Faydark. Final boss is Wuoshi.

Wouldn't that be Wuoshit?

That dragon that was so-so in EQ1 who lived in the forest outside Kael?

Impressive! Talk about a make-over!

Cool, he a beef now
http://www.thelorespot.com/tod/wuoshi.wmv <-- Have they removed most of the effects or is this how it looks these days?



What's that chubby thing bottom right? New class/race?

[Bojangels]

That chubby little guy is a pet you can get from doing a quest line...rallos zek i think. He gives like a str buff or something.

Yea, it's a deity pet.

Most people dial down their graphic settings for raids... for better framerates.

[Kwonryu DragonFist]

Understandable that they remove the majority of the effects during a raid, thought at first that EQ2 got a revamp!

The Wuoshi-raid vid almost makes me wanna play EQ2 again!

Vanguard is better than EQ2 tho?

Those lil chunky chubbsters are fun pets!

[Kaldaur]

Man, I'm loving EQ2. I haven't played in a few years, and going back now was totally worth it. I can solo, I've put together raids, I can craft. It's all truly fun, and the range of things within my power is a big retention factor.
Plus, it's Norrath

Vanguard is an unfinished mess at the moment, but who knows? I plan on taking another look in 6 months, but the writing was on the wall that the game would be a wreck at release.

Yeah, raid vids are cool, but I just don't have the interest in serious raiding anymore.

EQ2's been good to me. Got friends, a strong 1-70 game (now, at least), and enough lore to choke a camel. I'll probably move on when the content slows down and folks start to go elsewhere, but with Kunark coming out in a few months and plenty of stuff to do in the meantime, I think I'm in for a while. Even got my wife playing

If you haven't seen, Mayong Mistmoore also is an endgame boss in a raid instance of similar difficulty.

I saw this Niffy!

I wonder though, if Vanguard should be superior to EQ2 in 6 months or if EQ2 still is better?

I'm curious how people who don't even play a game feel they can give an accurate opinion on the state of the game.
