There's a brand new race coming to
EverQuest II this winter, and
SOE has all the juicy lore details in a post on the game's
official website. Freeblood vampires will be available to
EQII Live subscribers and
EQ2X gold and platinum members beginning in February as part of the
Velious Winter Rewards program. A quick read-through of the fine print reveals that players must qualify for both the December and January rewards to be eligible for the Freeblood race (and ice wolf mount) that make up the February rewards. Both prerequisites require an active subscription and an account in good standing.
If you're having trouble waiting until February, the Freebloods will be available for purchase via the Station Store later this month. In the meantime,
SOE has provided some fairly meaty lore for you to
sink your teeth into, and it's available at the official website.
