To the casual onlooker, the implementation of these additions to EverQuest is unanimously successful.Īnd to be very honest, they would be right. Following popular demand, SOE has opened another progression server to ease the queues and overcrowding that comes with 2,000 over-joyed veterans rampaging through Norrath once more. The progression server, named after the Qeynos-strolling Gnoll, Fippy Darkpaw went live this week and within 15-minutes its population capacity was robbed of its virginity. Well in an act of community servitude, some fellows at Sony Online Entertainment have decided to hop in their in-office DeLorean and head back to a time when Brad McQuaid was respected and Nu-Metal was still riding high, to bring us the EverQuest Progression Server - I just felt the collective MMORPG-equivalent of an erection sprout from 30-year-olds the world over. Yes many great and wondrous things have occurred in the proceeding decade since the lands of Norrath opened for adventure.īut who amongst us can say that they do not look to the past in a fit of envy and regret longing for a time passed that is so desperately desirable. I have sprouted hairs in deep, dark places and even discovered the smoothness of the opposite sex. And I too have changed from a small weird-looking boy to a taller weird-looking man.
We have also seen the MMORPG grow from a small, fledgling genre to one, by this website’s last count, that is 400 games strong. A decade has passed and with it so much has changed we have seen great technological leaps with graphics evolving from crude 3D representations to high-definition, dazzling reproductions of the human form. These are the days.Ī lot has changed since my pre-teen adventures in the lands of EverQuest. I am like the Peter Parker of the MMORPG world, my double identity never betraying.
I am a studious guild-member that is an asset to any team which is willing to conclude activities before my 9pm bath and bed time. Gone are such antics of childishness, I “ROFL” with the best of them, I provide great “DPS” while “Gratz’ing” every “Ding!” anyone types to me. And no this isn’t sponsored Daybreak doesn’t talk to us.By day I am a mild mannered boy with a mind ready for educational moulding and distinction as a Primary School soccer-genius– but by the night I am changed, I am evolved: I am Oberenn the level 37 Erudite, Wizard. Incidentally, thanks to those who whitelist the ads. Also, kudos to the folks who came up with the guild name Boomer Council. For those who want to follow along, EQ2Wire has hooked into Daybreak’s API to track all of the server’s created characters and their levels – and some folks have already hit 50. Like other TLE servers, players have to have a subscription to enter Varsoon, so if you’re among that number, now is the time to start from scratch all over again. In addition, Varsoon has tuned down item reuse and casting speed to better align with server progression, opened several villages and their associated quests, and removed familiars as they are deemed “out of progression.” Any content that was released in between expansions, including GU and Adventure Pack content, will be released eight weeks after its corresponding expansion goes live. Expansions will unlock approximately every 16 weeks with the exception of Desert of Flames, which will unlock in 12 weeks. For those who have experienced EQII’s other time-locked expansion (TLE) servers, Varsoon will be similar to Kaladim except trading of items that normally would be heirlooms will be available.
