SOE adds new microtransaction items to EQ2 portion of the Station Cash store
Just about a week after the Station Cash service was implemented, we're already seeing new items pop up in the store. SOE has announced a quintet of new items added last night to the EverQuest II component of the store. The newly added items are:
The Potion of Quickened Steps - A 30-minute length potion that increases your walking speed by 40%. Strangely, the tooltip on the image at the EQ2 Players site uses text that indicates it also increases experience gain, but we don't think that's the case.
Ironforge Parade Armor - The handsome armor to the right is the newest addition to the appearance sets they're offering. We think it's the handsomest of the suits they've put up so far, but very much still not work $10.
Phantasmal Skulls - Floating, burny skulls for your home.
The Mage of Shadow's End - A cosmetic pet that looks like a floating husk of a half-lich.
Pegleg, the Scourge of the Ykeshan Sea - A cosmetic pet that appears to be a pirate troll with a peg leg.
If the company intends to keep updating the store on a regular basis, this is a good start, but there are still a few issues to be sorted out with the system. We wrote extensively about kinks in the service in our Unofficial FAQ, and you can find a number of interesting insights into why this service was released in the first place withing our interview with John Smedley.%Gallery-38919%
