Everybody likes free stuff, right? There's always something irresistible about a little freebie, something that makes people do crazy, crazy things to snag it. Well, in the case of EverQuest 2, all you have to do is log on sometime during May 12-14 to claim your very own Rose Quartz Inlaid Gold Armbands. Whew, that's a mouthful!
The armband is a cosmetic item only that fits in the shoulder slot, and cannot be traded. It normally sells on the Station Marketplace, but SOE has waved the cost for a few days in celebration of Sentinel's Fate's success. You can grab yours by typing /marketplace in EverQuest 2, or by clicking on the Marketplace tab.
Some players have wondered if the armbands were beholden to that one look. As one forum poster asked, "Do they come in any other color than pink?" The response was quick: "Yes, they also come in light red."

Games with the worst avatars:
EQ2
Vanguard
WAR
Lotro
CoX
Games with good avatars:
AoC
WoW (yes they're low-poly but superbly animated and designed)
APB
CO
GW
FE (horrible animations but good-looking avatars)
Aion (although the male 'run' animation is one of the worst, the characters look superb)
What's your list?

I agree with yours entirely minus LoTRO. I really enjoy the character models there. The animations are so-so, but I dig the models.

Oops, you're absolutely correct. My bad.
I agree that the models themselves are okay, but yikes the animations need lots of loving..

Is it my imagination or does SOE always seem to come up with one of these promotions when a new product is released for some other MMO? I played EQ2 on Day 1, but finally couldn't get past how ugly my character was and the shortcuts they used in development, like how dwarves and halflings don't have a walk animation, only a "running in slow motion" animation. Did they ever make it so you could actually use the player-made furniture?
So much potential wasted because of SOE's practice of piling more content on top of a game instead of fixing and completing the game itself.
