Nothing like holiday events to bring me back to EQ2. I decided to pop in with my little fury (on the EQ2X server) to participate in the events this year. Plus, the instances are real fun to run for items and would be great xp for her, she has gotten almost three levels so far. I say this every [EQ2] holiday event but it means a lot to me- I love that the EQ2 events are there for all levels and scale. Except maybe the Headless Horseman... Which is quite a lot of content even without him so I can't complain.
EQ2 is probably one of, if not the, most fun events in any mmo I play when it comes to Halloween. I just adore the events in EQ2, lots of crafting items added each year and more content on top of that, each year, from new quests to new and fun appearance and house items. So, I just couldn't resist picking it back up for the holiday!
I've not completed all of the events yet I am just working on the few in Nec Forest. I want to gather several more items from those quests before I move on to other activities. There was a new instanced quest added, it was very interesting. Sort of like a defense game, getting zombies to chase you, the actually walked- which I loved- and what you did was pull them to, strategically placed, attacking plants which killed them. It was a lot of fun and I was excited to see something new and fresh added! The rewards were neat, I picked a snazzy new cloak with a cloud particle effect on it.
I have been waiting since the Christmas holidays for Nights of The Dead to come around, my Freeblood Estate needs several spooky touches to it still! I plan on crafting a large amount of house items from this event because I am thinking of turning another house of mine, which is empty, into a haunted maze. I'll see if I have the time!
There was a new mount added and it requires a lot of candy, which is also used by crafting recipes. I really want to get it but I'm not sure if I will. It looks pretty creepy! I probably will try to go after it, I did the Valentine mount and was glad I did.
I can't wait for Halloween to hit WoW and Freerealms, my two other faves when it comes to holidays. Lots of fun stuff to do this month, exciting! What is your favorite in-game holiday event? NoTD wiki on Zam.
