MMORPG.com EverQuest II Reporter Phil James writes this look back at the events of the month of November in SOE's EverQuest II.
Overall a pretty exciting month... Over here in the UK, in November, we celebrate 'Guy Fawkes Night' more commonly called 'Bonfire Night'. It seems big fires and fireworks are more worthy of celebration than failed terrorist plots. Going stateside, November is the month of Thanksgiving, but from a gaming point of view, it's more than fires and turkey, it's a very exciting month. Traditionally, the pre-Christmas 'Triple-A' releases all vie for our attention and back in the day, before I was aware of MMOs, November was 'Tomb Raider Month'. But now, for 'Everquest II' subscribers like me, it is expansion month.
But not this year. We won't receive the new expansion, Sentinel's Fate, until next February. This delay is a small price to pay for an extra bit of polish, in my humble opinion, but that doesn't make for a good article now does it? So, what are we to do in the meantime?
Nice write up.
Yesterday GU54 went live, releasing a couple more prelude events.
Frostfell is also now live. It is my personal favorite set of holiday events..

Completed collections can then be handed in for a reward, again, something cosmetic.
If you mean the grotto's, then maybe yes, as I don't know the outcome of those collections, but to be clear, not all collections give purely cosmetic rewards. Some give treasured equipment, on up to quest starters (book quests from EOF for Cloak of Flames, Kunark for language quests that are required for other quests, etc).
D'Armer is actually some kind of lesser god who was broken up and scattered across people's memories.
There is nothing in-game that is specific on who this character is. This is based purely on speculation by people on the forums.
a commemorative painting and a replica of the Claymore monument, both of which are look pretty funky in my house, even if they are actually in my backyard as the monument is taller than any of the rooms.
You are aware you can adjust the size of house items with your mouse scroll wheel and Shift (elevation with Ctrl)?
