Velious Music on Test Copy [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
There's a bit of buzz today in the EverQuest II community as astute file-watchers found an"exp07"music directory downloading with the latest Test server patch. It's not uncommon for expansion assets to appear in live and test data very early, but the music files are the only ones the average person can access without the game client. SOE has been very tight-lipped about the Destiny of Velious expansion, and players are eagerly snapping up every tidbit they find. Some of the subdirectory names are quite familiar to players of the original EverQuest: Kael_Drakel, The_Fortress_of_Dunder, Thurgaden, Tower_of_Frozen_Shadow and Velkators_Labyrinth. There are also two called Rallos_Zek and Overland; Overland includes files called Othmir_Camp and Thrgadin_City_and_Harbor.
