Tears of Veeshan Expansion about 1 month out

[Ryland]

So, not sure who else is looking forward to this, but with all of the talk from SOE Live, Tears of Veeshan and Game Update 68 are looking pretty good. Currently set to be released on October 17th, Tears of Veeshan is set to give us a bunch of new features:

New AA tab, Dragons AA and an increase to 340 AA's.
Another new itemization or re-itemization, still not sure on this one
Mercenary slots, you can now hold more than one merc and swap them out.
T4 guild halls, yeah, I know we are only in a T2(eligible for T3, but can't afford it) but still pretty neat.
Dungeon Finder 2.0, hopefully they have gotten it right this time. Still no cross-server dungeon finder yet.
A new class, the Channeler, says it will be a priest with a construct pet and a bow with leather armor.
A few new zones, including teh new overland zone Eternal Broodlands as well as a new city, Highkeep as well as new dungeons.

Also, an interesting tidbit, seems that SOE have an entirely new zone built for Frostfell for Christmas 2013 as well as releasing some new raids and fabled dungeons (Think Fabled Clefts of Rujark, etc) in January 2014. Sounds like a lot of fun stuff coming up in the near future. Hope to see you all there.

If you get a chance check out the myriad of videos and commentary on the SOE Live convention and you may find some stuff that I missed. I will try and keep you all up to date as I hear new stuff coming for EQ2.

Thanks,

Thanks Ryland!
