Earlier this week our own Karen Bryan brought you the details on all the EverQuest II happenings from last week's Fan Faire 2011. Today, EQ2Wire has added some lengthy video coverage to the mix in the form of an hour-long recording of the initial EQII dev panel entitled Freeport and Beyond.
The proceedings are captained by producer Dave Georgeson, and the panel features more info than one news post can adequately cover. The highlights include Game Update 61 (to be launched in late August), the new dungeon creator functionality, itemization and AA revamps, the addition of AA functionality to the crafting game, the Age of Discovery expansion, and of course, the Freeport revamp. That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, so grab your favorite beverage and click past the cut to view the hour-long video.

the new dungeon creator functionality
This sounds very interesting....will this allow player made content to be published? If so, this will be the first fantasy setting MMO to do this and would make me consider subbing to this game

I believe this had already been done by a Ryzom expansion sometime ago. How it worked though, I have no idea.
"Ryzom Ring gives players the ability to create their own content for the MMO."

EQ2 has my attention, these updates and where they're heading into the future look cool.
I suspect there might some misplaced people leaving other MMO's soon ( WoW's Cata x-pack'ers and Rifters to start the list...). I wonder if I'm not alone, in taking another look at Everquest 2. The game has a LOT to do to tide people over till Guild wars 2 and The Secret World arrive on the scene.

Let's hope their Freeport revamp is a lot better then the one they did in EQ.
