Velious Winter RewardsFollow

SOE has announced Velious Winter Rewards, where players can quality for six great items over three months. While four of the rewards are being kept under wraps, the February rewards are an Ice Wolf Mount and the "New Freeblood Vampire Race".

EQ2 Live and EQ2X Gold and Platinum accounts in good standing on December 14, 2010 will qualify for the first two items. Meeting the same qualifications on January 17, 2011 will earn you the second set of rewards. The final set of rewards will be awarded to players who met the December and January requirements and order the Destiny of Velious expansion pack by December 31, 2011.

Anybody else think it's sort of wierd SOE would announce this without even knowing what other rewards they are going to offer over the course of these next 3 months? Not too interested in the wolf mount they have announced, the vampire race might be interesting, but only if they aren't the ***** looking ones we have had appearance items to look like. What I'm wondering is, are they going to rework vampires like they have the goblins in the game?

All in all this could be sort of cool. Thanks Sony!

Ive said it before and I will say it again... it's "Hetero", because a gay design team would do a fantastic job. Please don't call things gay or ***** unless you are coming out of the closet.

I know this, you know this. The rest of the world with a 4th grade education and kindergarten maturity level however...

OK, so if we have to have bought and registered the expansion before 12/31, where do we buy it from? It is a pre-order thing? Or is the game expansion actually going to be available by then? If it's a pre-order (or even if it's not) do we have to purchase it directly through them? And if it is not released yet, how are we to activate it?

Sorry, but I thought the expansion was not due out till February?... I got the email today also, and was a bit confused by it all...

Well, there has been a release in the past for which only the US players qualified for the reward. It's nice of SOE to try and level the playing field.

Yeah, I think that's what they're doing here. The SF release was a fiasco so hopefully they learned.

It's too bad the most innocent remark can get such a nasty response, especially on the internet. I was trying to be careful when I made my above "*****" remark about the way the Vampires in EQ2 appear to seem. And more directly the "male" Vampires. It's been pretty much an accepted feeling among most all EQ2 players over the years the male vamps don't seem too manly. I was not meaning any ill remark in my statement, just making a remark about my opinion, and opinions of most others who play the game, the male vamps could be changed a bit, so they don't look so fem. Not that anything is wrong with that, just making as I said an opinion, and voicing my hopes the playable race would give us more options, so we could make our toons look differently. I imagine they will be.

I sort of hope this discussion about the use of my previous wording on this subject ends with this. I consider this sort of stuff just ridiculous, and a bit vile to be honest. I am somewhat disappointed this particular site would partake in such talk. As I've always found this site to be so helpful, and friendly in the past. Surely one should be able to just innocently voice their own opinion, and not be subject to slams and jabs, and name calling.

Thanks.

I'd respond but I can see now your not worth the text.

Goodbye.

LOL! Join the club.. I didn't notice that line at first either.

Nope, most of the dates are 2010 but the fine print at the end of the EQ2Players article for the expansion activation always said 2011. :)
