As we've done in the past with new updates to EverQuest II, we recently had the chance to go on a walking tour of the brand new Veksar Invasion dungeon. Just as with our looks at the Shard of Hate, GU 47, and GU 45, we were able to go deep inside the new content to get a sense of what's new and interesting about the game. Regardless level or interests, EverQuest II Game Update 48 has something fantastic for every player. For high level characters, of course, the Veksar dungeon is the place to be until The Shadow Odyssey comes out. Designed as a 'teaser' for the upcoming new content, it'll have you thinking and laughing your way through the short number of encounters.

If you're not max level, you've still got a bunch of new content to tackle in this Game Update. There's a murder mystery in the city of Qeynos, and a busybody in Gorowyn wants to know what's up. Help out your faction to understand what's happening before the other side does! Plus, the construction workers preparing for the new guild housing system are running low on supplies. Traders and Adventurers alike are tasked with helping them get things back on track. There's tons of stuff to do in Norrath today. What are you waiting for?

Who knew corporations could be so sneaky? Sony Online Entertainment has snuck up on the EverQuest 2 playing populace with a brand-new game update! GU48:Breaking Ground has dropped onto the live servers adding a ton of new content to the world of Norrath for players of SOE's flagship game. Here are the highlights of this massive patch:
  • The Guild Hall Event! The cities of Qeynos and Freeport are busily working to build guild housing for EverQuest 2's mightiest organizations. You can help out!
  • Veksar! We first noted the addition of this dungeon back in the Senior Producer's letter to the players, but it's great to see it finally in-game. The dungeons acts as a 'teaser' for content in the upcoming expansion and is appropriate for characters at the highest levels.
  • Everfrost Overhaul! The first in what is likely to be a series of zone re-makes sees this icy realm given much better level progression, more solo content, and even a more intuitive design.
  • Shiny new armor! Armor appearances have been updated and improved across the board, with brand new writs and quests for the non-adventuring-inclined.
  • Tons more, including more zone tweaks, gameplay changes, the addition of a 'guild points' system, UI fixes and spell changes!
You can check out the full and unadulterated patch notes below the cut. Thanks to Stargrace for the tipoff!
