Monument and Might GU #52 for EverQuest 2 is heading to their test server soon. In the meantime you can check out a preview of the update, which is... More...
Remember these are going onto TEST (and probably for a while before going live). Some features: Research Agents -- NPCs that will upgrade your already-scribed spells. There'll be some cost involved, and a long wait time (about 30 days to upgrade an L80 Adept III to Master I, for example). Immensely long thread about them : http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=444889 Player-Written Books -- You can write your own story and have it in an in-game book (neat way to share your stories). http://eq2players.station.sony.com/news_archive_content.vm?month=042009&id=3062 New Zone : Emperor's Athenaeum (maybe aka Lost Library of Chardok) -- heroic ?? New Zone : Kurn's Tower (x2 instance)(speculation is it'll be like Ward of Elements (progressively tougher named mobs), and probably tougher overall than WoE). New Quests : In RoK overland zones (KP, JW, Fens mentioned -- what, no Jungle?)
Tougher than WOE is appealing to whom??? But all the same looks like fun and more quests is always good. Was just lurking I will scurry away now.
