The letter also talks a bit about future updates coming as well, such as the third phase of EQ2's Summer Jubilee. Chan reminds players that Oceansfull, the third phase of the Jubilee, will be their last chance to earn the Golden F'Aestival Bracers.
Darkpaw Games also announced in the latter that they were pledging $5,000 to go to the San Diego LGBT Community Center to help solve the housing crisis in the area. They also announced their Extra Life stream this year, taking place on November 5th.
Finally, Chan revealed that the team is working on EverQuest 2's 19th expansion, though no real details are being given just yet. However, DPG did show some concept art of new armor being planned with the next expansion.
