By Deathspawner on February 13, 2006 11:06 AM PST EQII - Erollisi Day – “The Essence of Romance” Gemima Gearshifter hated venturing into the Commonlands, but this trip was necessary. As part of her research into the decay of autonomic floogisterons, she needed to sample some of the soil in which they were found. Floogisterons were sometimes used as substitutes for grease, making it imperative that she understand how long it took them to wear out.

If video game music is your bag, then don't miss this opportunity! By Deathspawner on February 2, 2006 10:20 AM PST Shadowbane - Need help, you dirty thief? Thief, Master Burglar. Such a general statement for a class that is so often underplayed, and on the rare occasions it is used, often ends up ganking lowbies. It doesn't have to be this way, but few people have the ambition, the creativity, or the reflexes to play the class at its full potential. You have in your arsenal some of the most powerful abilities in the game. Your success with them is limited only by your desire to succeed and your ability to think outside of the sometimes tunnel visioned playstyle of some other characters. By the time I'm done with you, you will perhaps be prepared to head out into Aerynth and take what is rightfully yours; everything. On many occasions I am asked why I play a thief. "You can't effect this game at all" they say. However, this is far from the truth. I play a thief because it gives me the ability to control almost any situation.

By Deathspawner on February 2, 2006 10:10 AM PST EQ2 - New Character Progression Rather than working your way through 20 levels before choosing your subclass, you'll be selecting your final class at level 1 during character creation. There are now two uniquely good or evil islands instead of the Isle of Refuge, known as Queen's Colony and Outpost of the Overlord. Your chosen race's village or district in Qeynos or Freeport will involve you more in the lore of that particular race. Additionally, new quests and adventures await in the Adventure Yards surrounding your home city.
