I was trying to get a decent screen shot of my new Frostfell quest armor when Buddy brutally attacked! One of Dora’s final tasks when she betrayed to Freeport was to befriend Buddy, and then take evil delight in killing him. But Dora used her new necromantic powers to bring him back. Somehow she brought him back ‘wrong’ and he grew to enormous size. He’s now the guardian of the guild hall… ...
The Icy Keep is EQ2’s new addition to their winter wonderland of Frostfell fun, a nicely laid-out retooling of Permafrost that not only provides an hour’s group fun, but also moves the ongoing EQ2 plot ahead slightly. Long ago, the ice goblins of Permafrost were in thrall to the villainous Lady Vox, an ice dragon whose control over the northern reaches of Norrath was merciless and absolute.

Rejected post titles: “The Spear-it of Christmas”, “The Mob that Dis-speared”, “Spear-ritually yours”.

I think I’m still hurting from the smackdown those giants in the Great Divide put on me. I was kinda thinking that EverQuest winter holiday events would be something you could pretty much do solo, no matter what you’re level. I was kinda thinking WRONG. The first two, kill ten goblin scouts and a boss, and then kill ten lower level Dark Mistletoe giants and a boss (above), were easy. Some of the giants were clerics, but they’d run out of mana eventually. ...
Much thanks to Danshir for reminding me last night that EverQuest has changed its list of hot zones, places that give extra adventure and AA experience if you fight there. If leveling is your goal in EverQuest, you want to go to the hot zone best for your level and look for a group. Usually there will be plenty of other people there to group with. SOE usually adds a few new drops (often nice augments) to sweeten the deal, as well. ...
