EQ2's GU44 now live, bringing the Hate to Norrath

The fourty-fourth game update to Sony Online's EverQuest 2 is now live, bringing with it a wave of negative emotions, angst, and loot. GU44's biggest gift to the community is the Shard of Hate, a high-level instanced raid zone we profiled here on the site last week. Most other tweaks are minor, including:

• The addition of new (attractive) armored Warg mounts.

• A revamp to the Freeport crafter's zone.

• More tradeskill quests in all cities.

• Tweaks to items across the game, including the high-level Veeshan's peak encounter.

• Several client changes intended to aid players running the game with low memory footprints.

Full details on the patch are available at the EQ2 Players site in the official patch notes. Don't be surprised if you see fights breaking out in the NPC cities this week. After all: the Hate is back.
