Another Game Update makes it’s way to EverQuest 2 players across the world providing numerous fixes and content additions which Ten Ton Hammer planned to detail. Unfortunately Coyote and RadarX got a hold of the notes first and have been diligent in finding every oddity they possibly could among them. Why does a Templar ability sound like an artificial sweetener and how does Wilford Brimley fit into Norrath? You’ll have to read on to find …

I’ve been playing EQ2 since release, and EQ1 before that though admittedly not for long.

The EverQuest II Community Relations Rep, Tiffany “Amnerys” Spence, spilled it all (or maybe just some) for MMO Lifestyle. This is a great interview that even includes questions from the community!
MMOL: What was your first foray into gaming? Was it with the original Pong console, arcades at the local mall, maybe a Atari 2600, NES or something later?
Amnerys: Way back when my dad bought his first computer, I remember playing some ascii-looking robot game…no idea what it was now. Then we got our Atari and I loved Pitfall, Frogger, and Pac-Man. A few years later my dad introduced me to PC games, like Mystery House, King’s Quest, and those old text adventures. That’s really what started it all for me.

Just FYI all, the GU planned for tomorrow, July 30th has been pushed back a day. GU is now planned to go to the live servers on July 31st.

For new players and old players alike, nothing can be more confounding than the economy within a game. Amnerys lays it all out there and shows us the guiding light of EQ2 economy made easy!
Perhaps the quickest way to start making money in EQII is by taking quests and hunting NPC’s. Quest rewards vary, but usually include some coin and often a loot item or two, such as armor, jewelry, or weapons. Hunting rewards are quite similar; some NPC’s drop money, some drop loot, and some drop both.
This is no get rich quick scheme but a solid idea of how to make the most of your financial time in EverQuest II. Check it out and have fun!
