Have you ever wondered just how many titles there are in this game? As you hunt you collect them, hunter of this, killer of that and so on. Well recently EQ2 Stratics had the opportunity to sit down with Wandering Free, the player who seems to have the most titles out of anyone we have ever met!

Take a look at the interview here.

If you think you know anyone else who has more titles...or better yet would like to try and beat his record...we want to hear about it!. As always, send your contributions to EQII Stratics for publication and sharing with your fellow players!

Stratics Network Announcement - Jul 9, 2008 1:14 AM EDT | Posted by zigzag

We will be bringing our forums down Friday, July 11th 2008 to import restored user data initially lost in May. The following was posted in our Forum Announcements:

"On Friday, July 11th our message forums will be taken offline for approximately 48 hours while we restore the data we were able to pull from the old database and merge it with the existing data. The restoration will begin at about noon EST on Friday.

Users whose accounts were recovered from the old database will have those accounts merged with the current existing account, if the username and the email address match. For those of you who created alternate usernames we will be able to merge your restored account with your new account after the restoration has been completed.

If you have any questions or need any assistance with your account please email forumhelp@stratics.com or use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the forums."

In Testing - Jun 24, 2008 1:01 PM EDT | Posted by trepas

From EQ2Players:

 

You've heard the buzz, and now you can check it out for yourself! SOE has partnered with Vivox, the integrated voice chat system, to bring a whole new dimension to EverQuest II and the rest of the SOE family of games.

Right on the heels of last week's game update, this great new in-game feature is now running live on the EQII Test server, and the team is anxiously awaiting your feedback. EQII Technical Director, Joshua "Autenil" Kriegshauser, has posted two related forum threads, one for discussion and Q&A, and one for feedback only.

If you'd like to try it out, log on to the Test server, click on the tutorial trigger that appears on your screen, and follow the simple instructions. All you need is a microphone to chat, and those without mics can still listen in.

So you think you're an EQII Legend? Maybe so... but you'll have to prove it!

These summer events are all about players living the legacy and we want to help you show off. This is your chance to let others outside of the game see what you have achieved. Each week we will be posting images leading up until the announcement of the winners. Get in-game and show us your stuff!

EQII Updates - Jun 21, 2008 10:55 AM EDT | Posted by trepas

HIGHLIGHTS

  • During "Gathering Tempest" (GU46): The ranks of Freeport's Academy of Arcane Science and Qeynos' Concordium have been stretched thin as they attempt to investigate the mysterious and dark storms that have erupted across Norrath. Those wishing to volunteer their services for the investigation are encouraged to speak with the Concordium Pupil Adepts or Academy Apprentices that have been sent all across the world. 
  • There is a great commotion stirring around Bog Mountain, goblins from all nations appear to be drawn to the halls of Runnyeye Citadel! High level groups can now investigate, should they choose, the new dealings with the goblins in Runnyeye: The Gathering!
  • Poisons now have the option to auto consume when they run out.  Check out the "POISONS" section for details.
  • Carpenters, inspired by some of the elaborate cloaks adventurers have discovered, have started learning to create similar tapestries for the home.  They have also acquired a few new recipes inspired by Kelethin and Maj'dul craftsmanship.

EQ2 Community News EQII Lore: A Storm of Sorrow - Part 2 Return to Top Submit News!
EQ2 Community News - Jun 21, 2008 10:52 AM EDT | Posted by trepas

From EQ2Players:

By the pen of Eylee Zephyrswell,
This is the account of our leader, a plainsman by the name of Bayle. He had trouble speaking about his past, but it was necessary for us to understand the whole background of what we were dealing with. Further details came with time, as the conflict we all became a part of drew us closer together.

As far as I can tell, he still does not believe he has atoned. Despite all of his great acts of heroics, he still believes his folly outweighs them. It is a shame that such a great man should bear such a burden, but we all must feel as we must, and the past cannot be forgotten, only forgiven in time.
