    Exactly! Being professional.

    So there are PTW crates available on day 1 of the TLE?!?!

    It's nearly two decade-old MMORPG - what exactly are you going to be winning with the crates?

    XP potions, 15% move speed clicky, 66 slot bag, a mount with no combat stats, and a tax free broker box. Pretty mild compared to many games, including live servers.

    Kronos and Spell Research are much more "PTW" than anything in that crate.

    they're winning at broker listing wars, tragic !

    Ahh, ok....yeah that's pretty tame IMO.
    Thanks for the info.

    Curious about this part. Is it posted somewhere? I looked, but didn't see it.

    I made the assumption the mounts stats (other than 29% run speed) will be set to 0 on Varsoon launch and scale up later. Because that's how claimable mounts worked on Kaladim.

    I only see the DoV Pack there, not the Varsoon pack.

    Same

    not all CDNs updated yet?

    If I buy the Velious Crate today can I buy the Varsoon Crate tomorrow and claim both on the Varsoon server?

    That's how I did it on EQ1 when new TLP's came out. If it works that way for EQ2 I am ready to fork over my $70 USD!

    I apologize if this has already been posted. I couldn't find it. Assuming all goes as planned, what actual time will logins be available? Is it like 12:01AM or does it happen after a patch time? Just wanting to get a start on trying to secure a preferred character name. Thx!

    UPDATED: Nevermind - I see that they just posted this: "All EverQuest II Servers will be taken offline on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 at 7:00 a.m. PDT (14:00 UTC). Estimated downtime is expected to last up to 3 hours."

    There might be another multi-crafting station in it but, we likely won't know for a bit longer. I would be surprised if there is not either a multi-crafting station and/or a new teleporter thing just so there is a "must have" otherwise the sales are going to be... meh. Particularly with the likely death of the broker on live.

    Honestly, I wouldn't expect either since they are (according to Accendo) keeping the DoV crate up, for the first time, simultaneously. It would negate the purpose to having both crates available if they have that much overlap, imo - Not a great business decision.

    Packs undergoing maintenance right now on site. New packs INC...

    Nice.
    I bought the Velious one a few hours ago. Curious to see what's in the new one.
  20. Khayos Member

    Servers came up almost 10 minutes ago, but Varsoon isn't on the list yet. Do they not spin it up until they finish the pack maintenance or is there a specific time of the day the server is going live?
