Fan Faire: EQII Expansion Panel

The EverQuest II expansion panel was sketchy on details, but what we saw was promising.  Destiny of Velious, slated to launch February 8, will return Norrathians to the fabled continent of Velious.  Here players will continue the Order of Rime storyline, discover the fate of Thurgadin, and learn more about what happened in the 500 years between EverQuest and EverQuest II. The expansion will be levels 86+, to compliment Sentinel's Fate.  There is no level cap increase and there will be new AA although the details have not been hammered out yet. 

Community Address Added to Fan Faire Schedule

The SOE Fan Faire schedule was updated today, and now includes "an informal Community Address" by John Smedley to kick off the festivities Thursday night.  Fan Faires past have included a Community Address with high production values and players were disappointed to find it missing from the schedule.  Fear not, SOE fans, Smed will be addressing the masses!  See the revised schedule on the Fan Faire site.
