I got all excited when this came out. When I heard Sentinel’s Fate announced I actually almost cried. =(

Interesting since they announced at Fan Faire the expansion will be Odus with the new starting city being Halas, level cap raise to 90, all due for a Feb. 2010 release.

Releasing a re-imagining of Velious into EQ2 is about the ONE thing they could do that would make me renew my accounts for another year come December…hopefully they do it better justice than they did Kunark though -the EQ2 version of Kunark just did not have the feel of the old version at all…maybe it was the lack of trains and mob camps though :p

That said, Velious was far and away my favorite EQ1 experience – I have seen many people voice similar sentiments, so they do have a pretty high pre-existing expectation if they DO do Velious.

Currently on Test (my home server) the Order of Rime are setting up camp all across Kunark. They have what look like Frost Giants among them (confusingly, one of the Order says he’s never seen a giant, although as far as I can see he is standing about ten yards from one), they have Ice Dragons chained as sled-dogs to a floating island of ice and there’s a great, frozen patch of sea where they arrived, as if they brought Velious’ cold with them.

All that points to Velious. On the other hand, one of the quests involves stealing a load of trinkets from members of the Order of Rime and results in a bunch of curios from other parts of Norrath lost since the Shattering: Highpass and Gunthak are mentioned, as is the Black Sun Sea (was that even in original EQ, outside of concept art?). But apparently they have snow bunny fur curios too, and we all know where snow bunnies live.

On balance, I think it has to be Velious, though. And I really, really hope it is.

“once-per-server” event. SoE knows this no longer flies, right?

I’m just hoping in their enthusiasm to bring the EQ1 magic to EQ2, they don’t make a once-per-server event, that I get to miss out on because I’m taking the kid to a soccer game, or in a guild that isn’t the top of the progression food-chain, know what I’m saying?
