Patch Coming on Wednesday

We have an update tentatively scheduled for April 28th.

This update should have a lot of exciting and fun additions to the world of EQ including;

A new storybook for you to follow to peruse.

We will be moving a new adventure zone to Legends (the adventure zone currently on Legends should move to live as well).

Graveyard Zone Shadowrest Now Live

The Graveyard zone, Shadowrest, is now live!

We have introduced the new graveyard zone, Shadowrest, to the live servers. The zone will allow adventurers whose corpse has decayed, after 7 days, to retrieve it. They will merely have to greet the appropriate NPC in one of the following zones to activate their transport to Shadowrest;

East Commonlands
The Plane of Knowledge
Toxxulia Forest
Qeynos Hills
The Feerrott
Butcherblock Mountains
The Field of Bone
Shadeweavers Thicket
Misty Thicket

We hope you enjoy this new addition to EverQuest!
