Hiya all Pikey fans. Seems it is that time of the year again. It’s new expansion time. YAY………….

Greetings Norrathians,

‘Tis the season to talk about our next expansion for EverQuest! The team has been working hard this year to manage the ongoing progression and event server updates, big server-side updates to improve stability, as well as toiling away on our new content-focused expansion this November. Speaking of the expansion…

While we are still in the throes of development, we are thrilled to announce we are returning to a much-loved continent of Norrath! Prepare for EverQuest: Empires of Kunark! We’ve got a new look for Sarnaks (perhaps an illusion for some?!), new zones like Scorched Woods, Chardok: War March, Lceanium, Droga, Kor’Sha, new monsters, armor, weapons, items and more!

It’s been many years since we’ve set our eyes on Kunark and there are many stories to discover. At the beginning of October, look for announcements regarding expansion features, for pre-orders to become available, and news about when you can join us in the beta. The launch of EverQuest: Empires of Kunark is scheduled for November.

Also on the horizon, we’ll be unlocking Luclin on Phinigel server on September 28th 2PM PDT.  Ragefire and Lockjaw also have some expansion votes coming in October and November.

As we start cooling down for fall and prepare for EverQuest: Empires of Kunark, we’ve got a few promotions for you too:
•This weekend we kick off a 40% off sale for members from September 1st 12PM PDT through September 6th 12PM PDT as well as Double Experience for everyone!
•Starting this weekend, EverQuest: The Broken Mirror will be on sale at 50% off September 1st 12PM PDT through October 5th 12PM PDT. Note that option to purchase the Collector’s or Premium Edition of EverQuest: The Broken Mirror won’t be available after pre-orders for EverQuest: Empires of Kunark begin in October.
•Also, throughout October and November until expansion launch we’ll be running bi-weekly bonuses, like experience boosts, reduced lockouts, increased rare spawns, and more.

There is plenty more to come, so keep an eye out for more news and announcements soon. As always, we are grateful to all of our dedicated and thriving EverQuest players!

Sincerely,

Holly “Windstalker” Longdale

Expect more news updates here soon. See how high up the rankings we can get in the new expansion when it finally arrives.

Have a good time all and be good to each other. 🙂

YES.

We can all quit EQ and get lives now.

Many moons ago after beating Arx Mentis raid 4 we moved along like happy children and found this group of degenerates.

After what only seems like years, possibly even a lifetime of utter torture and desperation, most of the guild has now been transformed from clean cut wonderful people into pill pushing, drug addicted alcoholic zombies. In fact, we seem to be keeping the Samaritans single handedly in business. Hehe. Why is this you may ask? Well Arx Mentis 5 has been a tad annoying. Hehe. BTW If you ever believed that Pikeys guild members were clean cut wonderful people you BADLY need to seek psychiatric counselling.

Well, We CAME, We SAw and boy did it kick our ass. It then kicked our ass and kept kicking our ass for weeks. Did I mention that it KICKED out ass. I think Augok is about 8th level now and Purrfection has lost so much EXP she is now a kitten again. Very cute but not much use on a raid. Hmm, was she ever really any use on raids anyway? Ye gads, where did all my DKP go?

Ok, I suppose I better get a bloody move on before someone lets Anlak loose on the news update. Fingers off chanter boy.
This one is MINE, Mine I tell you !!!!!!! OMG Get me the straightjacket please. I think I am going to need it soon.

Ok, so after a small amount of time fighting with this one this is what it all really ended up with in the end.

YAY, a dead Dark Elf. And not a terribly nice one either. Don’t worry Djess and Adroxia, I will ply you both with enough booze later on so you forget this completely. Really, this is NOT the news update you were looking for. But in fairness Lanys was always one to lie down on the job and sleep. Get up and do something for once woman. Hehe.

Of course now we get the obligatory chest picture.

And of course some kitty about to ninja the bloody lot. I keep telling her that being guild leader she really isn’t allowed any loot EVER but she keeps defying me. Bloody cats. 🙂

And of course, now one of the most important bits. This is from Augok, so thank to him for this screenshot. Unfortunately I was late to raid a couple of days ago so my own list is incomplete.

So, there you go. Another expansion down and now the farming begins. Congratulations to all Pikeys at being the 11th guild to beat the expansion and second on Antonius Bayle server. YAY Grats to us.

TTFN from me Wabb. Expect a new news update as soon as something happens. 🙂

 

Just a quick update to say Merry Christmas  and a Happy New Year.

And for those of you that don’t celebrate Christmas, happy whatever else you celebrate and a Happy New Year.

Have a great time, stay safe and we shall see you all in the new year.
