from ZAM News (full)
|
In a post on the official forums today Dave Georgeson, EQII Producer, announced that the Friends and Family phase of Velious Beta started today. "Destiny of Velious"is almost ready for beta testing! We're going into internal"Friends and Family"mode today and then we'll start authorizing players for Closed Beta testing when we come back in 2011. So that's great news. (TOFS, here I come!) Additionally, we're doing two other cool things right before the end of the year. 1) From the 24th to the 27th of December, any Station Cash cards redeemed will be doubled in effect. This is our"Double Station Cash Stocking Stuffer"program if you see it mentioned elsewhere. 2) Also, we're doing Double XP Days from Dec 27th (monday) to Dec 30th (thursday). Most of you will be shocked to hear that we're doing Double XP not actually on one of the holidays and on weekdays instead of weekends. Don't fall down in shock. He later added: P.S.

Today the Freeblood Vampire race and their assorted accessories appeared on the Marketplace on the Test server. The Unlock: Freeblood item is 2000 Station Cash ($20), which surprised many players as a Race Pack with three races on EQII Extended is only 750 Station Cash. For a reasonable 500 Station Cash you can pick up Ferocity of the Freeblood , which is the invisible two-hander that allows the race to use the new alternate hand-to-hand animations. The Freeblood Contract gives access to the Freeblood Lair Estate for a mere 1500 Station Cash. The contract states it's accessible from either South Qeynos or South Freeport, but it has not yet been found on the Test server. Of all the Freeblood items, this one doesn't specify that it can only be used by the vampire race. Last but not least, 2500 Station Cash will get you Swarm of Bats , an illusion that has all the benefits of a Marketplace prestige mount. Please note that all the items are on Test, a ...
