EverQuest II video documents the new Cobalt Scar
Cobalt Scar is a part of EverQuest's legacy, but with EverQuest II's Game Update 66, players will get to explore it all over again. That's because the dev team has been hard at work on a new version of the zone that shows how time and circumstances have conspired to change the landscape while keeping the basic feel of it familiar. In the following video, a trio of SOE developers talk about the feel of Cobalt Scar, the inhabitants and landmarks that players will see, and the story that unfolds in this region. It looks as though players will even get to shoot down a wyvern or two if they're very, very good.
EverQuest II: Scars of the Awakened beta kicks off
Game Update 66 for EverQuest II is ready to dominate April, and SOE has opened the beta gates for testers to give the new content and features a try. All EverQuest II players are allowed into the beta, so you can see what it's all about if you're so interested. The studio put a few disclaimers on the beta, such as the fact that it might be unavailable at times and is subject to being wiped. Scars of the Awakened is scheduled to be released on April 30th and includes the option to create and sell gamer-decorated houses through the player studio.
EverQuest II tests the sale of player-created houses
Do you have the chops to create captivating homes in EverQuest II? If so, you might be raking in the bucks very soon. SOE announced that it will begin to test the sale of player studio houses in the beta for GU66. The team is creating tools, including a new web site, to aid with the sale and purchase of these homes. To encourage interest in sprucing up that old shack, SOE is running a sale on decorations and houses from tomorrow through next Thursday. All decorations will be at least 50% off, the studio promises. The test begins on April 2nd. SOE says that it wants to get the studio houses out along with GU66 on April 30th.
