I'm curious where did you get the opening song from?
Hello all! And thanks for continuing to support the channel!
Couple of notes, the edits for Laurion's Song was completed right before Laurion's Song was launched, so Alternate Personas have changed a bit since Beta (when the story was completed). Also, I didn't have a chance to try Chronodungeons for Ballads of Zimara.
Otherwise, what are your thoughts on the expansions?
Fading
CDub here. was great to have u Fading. u are great for our game. appreciate all u do. u are welcome with Township Rebellion on Luclin anytime
I'm glad you enjoyed your romp through the Ballads of Zimara! 🙂
I already gave you my thoughts on the expansion when you popped in during the beta, but I'm kind of curious to hear about how the Anhekfen are storied in the Laurian's Song expansion in EverQuest. According to the lore, the Rathe's Curse was far more severe on them compared to the other Rallosian races. Ogres lost their intelligence; Orcs lost the ability to record their own history and were splintered into tribes; the Giants were scattered across Norrath when their homelands were turned into Everfrost Peaks. The Anhexfen — They were just straight up turned extinct. The Goblin races we know (and sometimes love) were created when Brell Serilis used his Clay of Cosgrove to rebuild from the "blueprints" of what the Anhexfen used to be. They were just completely obliterated from history.
Fantastic work! Another great installment of The EverQuest Show!
That's my boy cwunk….. I understand nothing, but that's my boy doin the work.
The visuals are so stunning to look at . I'm glad your channel is alive and well to cover this. (applause)
the Giant tree sort of reminds me of the old NES game,… Faxanadu.
Breath taking Everquest loving it !!!!
Thank you Fading!! Always enjoy you EQ updates!
sweet thanks for showing the music
Happy for the live players but TLPs be for Me
Great Show!
Oh oh ooh! Another everquest show!
Thank you for all you do keeping us up to date on the game, Fading!
Fun Song
That intro music is awesome, thanks for all you do man. Anyway in or out of game I can show you some love, plat kr what ever
Great stuff as always Fading
Gah, I made level 110 on my main last weekend, closest I have been to max level since….2003 (Erudite SK made the day they made that possible). Then 3 days later, 15 levels away again 😉
Funny how a 25 year old game has better looking trees than some of the later Pokemon games…lol.
WhooHoo! I went from a TLP to FV just so i could catch up to this new stuff. Looks great!
Not an active player, but man I love seeing EQ keeping on. I can't believe how much mileage they've gotten out of the engine
Honestly it looks really good and I'm excited
Amazing to see EQ has gotten 30 expansions!
I Can’t wait to check out these expansions !!
EQ Personas are now FFXIV jobs? I love it!
Next tlp should take advantage of all the expansions somehow. I'd love to be able to play through 25years of expansions with the population of a tlp
This is truly amazing content! Fantastic! The content is captivating and the graphics look amazing! Thanks, Fading!
I always play with sound on (both in eq1 and eq2). But I don't think the devs do, 25 years and music still loops on repeat in eq1 with no good sound options 😛
🙂
I like how you said 2024 is going to be a huge year for the franchise while showing off footage from fan faires. 😉
I am absolutely gob smacked by the visuals in both games! But I'm especially taken with the new creature designs in EQ. Those goblins are fantastic! The deer and chickens are miles above anything they've created in the past. The teams of both games have outdone themselves with these expansions.
