Any rumors for the next expansion?

    Now that it's August, we should be getting a new expansion in around 3 months. Has anyone heard any rumors about what it will be yet? I thought we heard tons of Kunark rumors several months ahead of time. Any clue for the next one?

    It is going to be EoK part 2. The lack of the end to the story in EoK, plus the fact there are several zone files on our hard drives that are all on the other half of the continent, pretty much guarantee that.
  3. Xarbokk Elder

    I hope you are right. I have loved the EoK expansion and would welcome more Kunark based zones
  4. Act of Valor The Newest Member

    Expect Charasis and Skyfire Mountains at the least.

    just look at the eok map. 2/3rds of the kunark zones are grayed out plus the obvious zone connections in EOK zones that lead no where.

    So next 2 expansions might be in Kunark.

    Maybe It would make sense to finish that story arc before moving on and coming back.

    March Producer letter was the last info I know about.
    And, lest there be any doubt, there will be an expansion later this year! The team has already been working on it. No spoilers yet, though!

    The lore could be about the story of a dark elven woman whose feeling a little blue because she wants to win the love of a highelven male, who it turns out is holding her sister captive for integration.

    In a story of forbidden love and unparalleled adventure:

    He wants to find out how to change the future timeline by finding the location of the Chronozon sphere, to change felwithes future.

    She betrays her own, and frees her sister by consulting a Oracle, to first learn of the prospects for her love but finds out about her sister and the sphere...the location is reviled in a banned book called the Norathinomicon, that even Innoruk fears.

    That said the player has to help her retrieve it in an existing instanced raid..in a max level version of the plane of hate defeating tome keeper Yog.

    Yet first to unlock it must pay a vist to a Frenchman type gnome named: Monsieu Deus ex Machina, to forge a special key which you must obtain the legendary metal for and sacred water which requires two more raids.

    She then brings the sphere to the highelf as love gift.

    Come to find out her and her sister live in felwithe in the future, and there mother and father to avoid retaliation

    She is married to the highelf and the oracle that helped her was her future sister, who learned the secrets of both dark and high eleven magic and would undo her power if all this never happened.

    Also there tampering with the book and the timelines has caused an angry horde of shagoloths, to invade to give the high level player something to do...just because.

    Oh yeah there are tasks and mission out the old wazoo concerning all these interesting things.

    Edit time limit edit exspired:


    Optional:

    Hosts crossover invasion event in eq and eq2 two where portals to the lair of the elder gods open across eq and eq2 and when the expansion is completed, felwithe as a starting city for elves magically appearances as a starting city in eq2.

    You have to assist the ancient ones and queen Tiamat defeat the elder gods to assure victor for the elves, and keep magic in the world.

    The great lord kingu her husband helps the player in this exciting adventure to journey to the depths and seek out his benevolent if somewhat bored and indifferent to somethings Cuthulu fatgn, to avoid copyright infringement so named.

    Visit the town of Innsmoyuth, to talk to capt stern, to in list the aid of the heartwarming hybrid sea people to help you on this quest. (he turns traitor and ends up a to defeat named, (buryings too good for him)

    (Introducing Tridins as a new race!)

    There would be King highelf and queen dark elf. (dark elves are just modified high elves), she could be heritage obsessed beginning as dark eleven noble with a research hobby, and resent the tampering, he would treat her as high elf.

    After her dealing in the plane of hate more so. Innoruk dose not really like her.

    SHOTGUNS!!! # H1Z1DDOS lol no but really it is almost 100% gonna be kunark. All signs point to it, only thing we are missing is the dev conformation. Which I'm sure will happen in a web cast where they show us 5 min of new content, talk about it for 10, and the other 50 will be a new marketplace item. We had cats in crates, my vote is on monkeys in a barrel
  12. Yruc Augur

    I think increase the group size to 9 and perform a massive escort quest across multiple zones, facing several mini bosses (goblins, troll, demon, giant spider, undead on horses and then undead on a dragon like creature), and a couple massive zone wide battles. Also must have someone with maxed tradeskills in fishing (catch the fish with a ring (very rare drop) to actually start a new epic quest, baking (make elvish bread), tailoring (to make some cloaks) and smithing (to forge a broken sword)
  13. Phrovo1 Augur

    i swear, if they make epics that require 350 in all tradeskills, I will shoot someone
    EnchFWO and svann like this.
  14. Questoften32 Augur

    Why cant 2.0's scale to 85?
  15. fransisco Augur

    they did
    its that 3khp +80hstat augment
  16. Nolrog Augur

    The lead time is incredibly long. At this point in time, they are typically already working on planning out the expansion after this one (and may even have a general sketch of the one after that) we haven't heard about yet so that Art and Code have time to plan their work.
  17. EnchFWO Augur

    Make it extra fun by being like AP but also needing someone 350 in Alchemy/Tinkering/Poison for completion! Personally, I've only paid attention to restricted skills (alchemy) post-300... and that would be FUN. Would love to see the bazaar prices on that item.

    Because that remotely mimics any effect ever that was on an epic when it mattered [don't even try bringing up Necro]. :rolleyes: The aug is what... 3/4 piece of an item (I hate math) for A LOT of work that isn't even close to doing any epic in era benefit-wise. Just sayin' that's kindof a poor comparison of epic weapon v. stat aug.

    As to the rumor topic... the only 'info' I've seen (and said) is the multiple zone files people noticed and already posted that all happen to still be... Kunark. These days I don't care much about 'where' the expansion is because they've butchered or even just ignored lore so it's just another place to go. Only thing that really has me excited is the VP (potential) revamp. Unless the dragons are like Gore. Then no. If it's like Ancient Dragon... okay!
  18. High Voltage Augur

    Please, no Sarnaks in the next expansion. I could not stand even more of those.
  19. fransisco Augur

    the whole epic thing - people seem to forget epics are dead for like half the classes. If your class has a useful epic click your lucky. Many effects are level capped and worthless.
    druids - lvl capped
    mages - lvl capped and miniscule damage
    enchanter - miniscule rune
    ect
  20. Nolrog Augur

    This is a total guess, but I'm going to say that we see a return of the iksars in the next part of EoK (at least, that's what I'd like to see.)
