<a href="http://everquest2.station.sony.com/en"><em>EverQuest II</em></a>'s Game Update 52: Monument and Might is almost ready to roll out on the Test server, and the official community site <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/news_archive_content.vm?id=3087&amp;section=News&amp;locale=en_US">has put up a preview</a> of some of the highlights of the patch. There seems to be a focus on the <em>Rise of Kunark </em>areas for this update. Here's what the preview tells us is coming:<br /><br />
<ul>
    <li>The player-written books <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/04/23/everquest-ii-lets-you-become-an-in-game-author/">we had a look at</a> last month</li>
    <li>A new zone called the Emperor's Athenaeum in Charasis<br /></li>
    <li>A group instance called Kurn's Tower: Breaching the Void</li>
    <li>A x2 raid zone also based on Kurn's Tower </li>
    <li>Research Assistants that can upgrade spells and combat arts</li>
    <li>Over 80 new quests in the overland zones of <em>RoK</em></li>
</ul>
We spotted <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=450278&amp;post_id=5023952#5023952">a post from Kiara</a> on the forums saying that these things are planned to be on Test next week if possible, so it won't be long until we know a lot more.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/15/features-announced-for-eqiis-game-update-52/">Features announced for EQII's Game Update 52</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 15 May 2009 15:00:00 EST.
