Show Your Creativity with EQ Holiday Challenges
We hope you're enjoying the Frostfell event, which runs through Jan. 8. And if you haven't taken part in the festivities yet, you might want to consider giving it a try starting Dec. 23. Starting that day, players will get a "frosty" 25 percent experience bonus! That's certainly a gift everyone can use.
If you don't have much time to sign into EverQuest during the holidays, there's still plenty of EQ-related activities you can enjoy. You can make Frostfell greeting cards, write a holiday song, decorate a screenshot, or write a story or create a video. These winter-related challenges only happen once a year, so give them a shot and show your creativity to the EQ community! And if you make anything, feel free to share it with us on our EQ forum.
Keep reading below for a full list of Frosfell activities, which can also be found here.
Happy Frostfell Everyone!
It's that time of year again when everyone spends extra time with family and friends; when gifts are bought, given, and returned; when elves suddenly start wearing red, green, white and gold combinations; when a certain ogre makes all other ogres say, "He's doing what?"; when a torturing dark elf spreads good tidings? To help keep you from missing anything this season, here's an overview of what's going on in-game and out-of-game for EverQuest over the holidays.
Frostfell Adventures
As the air starts to chill and the frost begins to cover the ground, the season of Frostfell begins. No holiday season is perfect though and a couple of your fellow Norrathians need your help to make Frostfell a merry holiday for all! Visit your favorite major city and the Plane of Knowledge to find out how you can help. The season of Frostfell will embrace Norrath from December 9th through January 8th. Various events new and old will be available at different intervals throughout the season. So make sure you join in the fun before Frostfell is over for another year.
The Season of Frostfell 2008
A Frosty Experience Bonus!
To help them celebrate the season of Frostfell, adventurers will be surrounded by a frosty bonus experience increase of twenty-five percent starting on Tuesday, December 23, 2008. The frosty bonus experience will remain until the end of Frostfell, Tuesday January 8, 2009. Enjoy the holidays!
