It's already been ten years since EverQuest II launched and SOE is commemorating the milestone by bringing back Heroes Festival, this time with a host of fun new activities and rewards. Heroes Festival starts November 7 and runs until NOvember 17.
Included in the Fest are:
- Iconic EQII bosses (Darathar, the Djinn Master, Trakanon, Roehn Theer and Baelon) roaming around in patchwork form
- Patchwork bosses drop new currency - Mischeva's Tribute - used to purchase special items, including level 10, 20, 50, 70 and 95 gear
- Christopher Lee and Heather Graham lent their voices to the game's inaugural launch trailer.
- EQII introduced the first robust Housing and Crafting system ever to grace an MMO.
- Emmy-award winning composer Laura Karpman composed the game's original score.
- More than 1,000 voice actors, including Wil Wheaton and Minnie Driver, have brought life to the many characters of EverQuest II.
- Back in 2005, a simple, first ever in-game command ("/pizza") allowed the denizens of EQII to order pizza directly from the game.
