Heroic Characters Come to EverQuest II [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
At this summer’s SOE Live convention EverQuest II players were first introduced to the concept of Heroic Characters, an instant level-85 character that came equipped with level-appropriate gear. It was met with mixed reactions and over the following months players have demanded more information on the feature. Early last week a Producer’s Letter was released that dished out a lot of information, including the revelation that all Destiny of Velious content (which includes additional content spanning at least four game updates) will be made free for all players. Like any information that is released into the EQII community, the letter was met a large flurry of questions. There were some issues that needed to be addressed, which we dug into when we recently spoke to Holly“Windstalker” Longdale , Senior Producer of EverQuest II , and Dave“Smokejumper” Georgeson , Director of Development for the EverQuest franchise.

UPDATE: We have discovered that the reason behind these issues is that there was an SOE-wide maintenance that started at 3am PDT and ran through 6am PDT. You can see the announcement here on the Vanguard forums. UPDATE 9:25am EDT : Login servers are working for now! We also see SC balances in-game. As of 9:15am EDT (6:15am PDT) the EverQuest II login servers are down for a second time this morning. The first round players were receiving a black box in place of the launchpad; this time around those who are character hopping or zoning are getting booted with a"login rejected"message. The Marketplace SC balances and Krono were also unavailable while in-game.
