The Heroes'Festival , EverQuest II 's annual live event first introduced in 2009, will make its return tonight! The event is scheduled to run from 12:01am PST on Friday, November 7th through 11:59pm PST on Monday, November 17th. While the older quests are expected to make a return in Freeport and Qeynos, we should also have some new content to celebrate the 10th anniversary!

UPDATE : New quest - The Play's the Thing ! Centered primarily at the Claymore in Qeynos Capitol District and Execution Plaza in the City of Freeport, players can participate in several event quests , visit the Heroes'Festival merchant and check out associated achievements .
