EverQuest II's GU58 additions previewed


EQ2 Trader's Corner is one of those fan sites that we don't visit nearly as often as we should, and further evidence of that fact surfaced earlier this week when Niami DenMother posted a comprehensive preview of EverQuest II's forthcoming Game Update 58. While GU57 was soundly denounced in some quarters, the new update -- tentatively slotted for October 12 -- looks to bring a round of welcome additions to EQII's already-superlative non-combat game.

Among the tweaks are appearance tabs for mounts, item count increases and outdoor area additions for much of the game's housing, functional housing doors, and currency tabs that will free up a boat-load of inventory space by moving tokens and shards out of your main packs.

In addition to all this, the next major world event -- the Halloween-themed Nights of the Dead -- is scheduled to hit the live servers a couple of days after the publication of GU58 (which will also mark the closing of the long-running Druid Ring event).
