EverQuest II fans, get yourselves ready for launch day as GU128 aka Lure of Darkness is finally live today after a few weeks of life on the public test server.
Minimal patch notes for the latest build are up on the forums already; Daybreak is pointing players toward Spiral of Vul, a new contested dungeon in the Sodden Archipelago that offers both solo and heroic options, new quests and missions, new tradeskill content, the new Overseer season, and raid dungeons, though the raid dungeons open later.
And as for the story set-up? “A cult of Void zealots has made themselves known to Norrath, calling themselves the Cult of Vul,” the studio says. “They claim to have been inspired by the old writings of a renegade shadowman named Ssynthi. Their numbers swelled recently after Bellengere the Three began influencing the cult’s members, claiming power from the Void can be tapped by its members. His message cast a wide net, and gained the attention of the downtrodden, the gullible… and the greedy. The revelation of the Void anchor constructed in the Sodden Archipelago, was met with elation by the cult, and answered in swift numbers. You don’t have to be Lady Najena to know their excitement could mean our downfall! Will you be the one to stop them?” I sure hope so!
