Recently found my old druid Zippo lighter and thought, wow, I should get a monk one. I can't find any "station store" (where I bought it before) and I can't find it on google or anything. So...what, is this discontinued? How do I get one?!
I am specifically seeking the EverQuest branded ones. I literally can't even find an image of the monk one.
I remember those...was very tempted to get 1 at the time (wish I had now). Being a non-smoker I got the T-shirt instead which I still have. They (Sony) stopped offering that merchandise years ago. Good luck finding an old original one.
I used to buy their merchandise at the yearly conventions. I have an Everquest hoody I still wear to this day. God I miss the conventions.
I have never understood why Daybreak (and before that SOE) doesn't sell EQ merchandise. It seems like an easy revenue stream. I mean, they are deliberately refusing to take money. They don't have to do anything other than sign some deals with some websites that will make and sell the items. Just supply the artwork and the website companies will put it on the items (T-Shirts, mugs, lighters,etc.) and send Daybreak a percentage. The other company will handle everything (storefront, taking payments, etc.). This boggles my mind that Daybreak (and SOE before them) doesn't want this money.
Handful of them for sale on eBay, $100+ price range. No monks tho, but maybe if you keep a weekly eye on it one will show up. Amazing what shows up for sale on the web. Old promo Zippos from 14 years ago based on a dying game? We got those! Still no luck finding the Philadelphia Union season schedule fridge magnet tho for the year I'm missin...
EverQuest isn't dead. I'd say it's far from it. Its not from 14 years ago, yes they started selling back then, but I found a webpage that actually referenced a particular variation of the EverQuest zippo lighters being out of stock back in 2014, so they haven't been gone that long.
They're out there in the world, but unfortunately we don't have any plans to bring them back or create new ones otherwise. If you get your hands on one (or have an old one) share some pics with us, though!
