The Long-Hidden Plane of War Beckons to You with Eternal Battle

    “Here you stand, on the brink of war. Before you enter the Plane, you should ask yourself, ‘Am I prepared?’” – Commander Gorok

    The Plane of War, the domain of Rallos Zek, is where fighters of all races selected by the Warlord god battle eternally in his honor. This plane was sealed off long ago from mortal intervention, to be opened at a later time when the citizens of Norrath were deemed to be a worthy challenge.

    “Do you hunger for blood? Is your appetite only satiated by senseless war? The battle never ends on this plane.” – Jorgar the Pacifist

    The gates to Rallos' realm have remained sealed so long that most mortals have simply forgotten that his plane has been left despoiled all this time. Now the rumors of the Warlord’s domain becoming accessible have reached the ears of god-slaying adventurers. Veteran adventurers are already preparing to trek into this new yet strangely familiar place, to reap the rewards of plunder. Will you be one of them?

    Plane of War and the challenges contained within this zone are designed for adventures of the highest levels. To zone into Plane of War you must be level 95. This zone becomes available to players on Wednesday, April 2, 2014.

    15th Anniversary Mission and Raid

    In celebration of the 15th Anniversary of EverQuest, there will be a special mission and raid available to adventurers for a limited time. The special level-scaling mission will be available to players that are level 65 and higher that want to get a taste of the Plane of War experience. In addition, raiders will be able to rally their forces and fight their way into the Plane of War to engage Tallon and Vallon Zek in combat!

    Be warned, they are the personification of war. The brothers Zek employ both strategy and tactics when facing their foes. It will not be an easy fight.

    The Plane of War mission and raid are planned to go live on Wednesday, May 7, 2014. Like other EverQuest anniversary content, these will be available in game for a limited time. These will be available in game for approximately six weeks after they go live.

    2.5 day lockout on the raid like Nagafen or 4.5 day like most raids?

    It had been mentioned by someone at SOE that there would be some level 85+ content in PoWar. I'm guessing that has been scrapped. I noticed on Test that I couldn't get in with my level 91 toon but I figured that would be changed. Guess not.

    In any case, looking forward to WAR!

    EDIT: Never mind, I see here, "The special level-scaling mission will be available to players that are level 65 and higher that want to get a taste of the Plane of War experience".

    You should bring back the Naggy raid, too! We only beat it two, maybe three times when it was up. We only got one aug back then but would love for another chance. :)

    Currently 2.5 day lockout.

    Since Test was patched last week, I was expecting a live update this week, even though its not that typical time-of-the-month.

    Downtime tomorrow morning?
  10. Roshen Brand Manager


    Yes, the servers will need to come down to patch in Plane of War to live servers.

    Once we have final patch notes and specific down times ready to announce, we'll be doing so in another post.

    That's a Hardcore Heritage raid. I expect it to be back around June. Not that I would object to it also appearing now :).

    Will plane of war require ROF or COTF to zone in?
  19. Eluwenie Augur


    You're right on this for me lagkills, only lvl 85, no chance in even going into UF either solo. Can't even do Field of Scale at this point.. my main is not a Heroic Character. And my tagline says it all too.. I stay alive when I solo. Plane of War.. no time soon for me :(

    So the entrance to PoWWar is the unused fifth stone in PoTranq, next to the Valor stone, across from Tactics stone??
