New Expansion in the Works?

I've gotten bits and pieces in from several corners hinting that there is a new Everquest expansion in the works. Rumor has it that it will be called EverQuest: The Lost Dungeons of Norrath and that it will include Frogloks as a new playable race. Of course, there is no official confirmation on this and it may turn out to just be a rumor, but I've gotten enough feedback on it from sources I trust that I figured I would post about it. Time will tell.

While most likely Frogloks, or some form of them will become the next playable race, if any, I would have certainly liked to see a different type of creature, rather then humanoid. Like a centaur, or maybe even Shissar, though I do not know their backstory so that might not be possible. Another idea would be Ents, like seen in Lord of the Rings. But these are just ideas so who knows?
hmmmm

If there is a new expansion in the works i hope they add more loot for all not like on luclin and POP expansion where it seems in almost every grp Cleric is ML which is ok also for they cast symbols on almost all grp members but there are others that also need money also for gear and spells and so forth. Money split is grps in all worlds or zones would be cool.
What about under the seas ??

Well it is the only place they haven`t been to yet, and given that frogloks may be the next playable race, could be posbbile (frogs are Amphilibous)
Froglocks wouldn't be hated...

Look around the PoK library, and there's some books you can "borrow" (no drop, no rent, buy for 0 money) detailing the origins of the frogloks. As it turns out, their origin is closely tied to that of humans (barbarians, actually, but barbarian is a comparative word, and at the time there was only the Northmen.) Also, is it just me, or is humanity the only race on norrath that has yet to recieve the divine smackdown for being to magically ambitious? There's the Shissar, the elves, just about anything Rallos Zek so much as touched, and, to the point, the Frogloks. Basically, from they're history, the froglocks would be the anti-troll/iksar/ogre, staking out the swamps for the forces of light.

Why not a simian race (ape) with high dexterity and low ambition. A race that prefers to sit around and smoke reefer, drink ale and scratch thier rear ends! Kinda like a race of college students.

new expansion but FROGS?!?!
# Jan 09 2003 at 10:14 AM Rating: Default
why the hell dont' they just come out with something good for once...thiers humns, iksars, woody elves, and friggin almost all the other normal races. if they're gonna make a new race ***** the damn frogloks, they suck ***** i'd rather be something that resembles more of a god type figure but not even close to as good as one...like innoruuk for example, ***** from what i hear for a god. either that or atleast make a new class...

They are 2 ways for this rumor one free updates by eQ server or new continet i think is a good idea to create a new race but i would like that the EQ programer consider to let us more than 8 chars by server ... :)

well i think if they do make a race they wont be called frogloks remember when luclin came out they already had va shirs they were called kerrans. if there are frogs im gonna guess the will be more like the smaller races of norrath. now i wonder if they will have a endure breath as a class defined skill or they just gonna give em 100 at swimm like them lizards. In all i think its going to be interesting to see what tricks they have up there sleeves at sony and verant. For the title thought i dont think we gonna get more contients. i think we will get more zones in the old worlds.like when they added jagged pine on.maybe they just plan to fix all the old areas on the maps that arent represented that would add on quit a few zones. But i dont understand why the tp spot in the swamp when trolls and frogloks are enemys. hehe mine as well put ogres and dwarfs next to each other.
The final continent?
# Dec 24 2002 at 12:29 AM Rating: Decent
There's still one continent on the Skyfire (?) globe unvisited... I wonder if that will be included?

But I'm suspecting something like Nixoh suggested, an Underdark-type of connecting dungeons... which could provide very interesting alternate methods of travel between zones!

On the other hand, going by the title... there are still certain zones implied by lore and geography that have never been implemented... like the city under LoIO, the ruins of the ancient elven city off of NRo/Oasis, Broken Skull Rock/Dead Hills near Ogguk, Lake Neriuss and Winter's Deep... the original maps have a ton of zones that dont' exist currently, even if you're generous and combine some into ones that do (like the Frigid Plain is likely the flatter area of Everfrost Peaks, etc).

I guess we'll see in.. what, 6-12 months?
Lots of non-functioning ports
# Dec 20 2002 at 1:08 PM Rating: Excellent
There are many spots like the locked teleport crystal in Mistmoore and the broken teleporter in Everfrost that apparently should lead to zones but don't. Perhaps this expansion will make those broken or locked teleporters go somewhere.
RE: Lots of non-functioning ports
# Dec 22 2002 at 3:30 PM Rating: Decent
I suspect not.

VI has made it pretty clear that going back and making odd, non-functioning parts of the game interesting is not a priority. There's the mirror that doesn't work in ToFS, the door in The Hole (why that wasn't used in Planes of Power, I can't imagine).

When the re-vamp old zones the focus is usually on adding mobs and events, not cleaning up odd or broken elements of the game to date.

Not to rag on anyone, it's just that I can't see that sort of thing being a priority.

If this is true, I hope they add more dungeons for 60+ players equivalent to the OS/Velks for the 50-60 brigade, because 1st tier PoP isn't great for loot and not everyone is able to progress to the higher tiers.

1. Recent messages from SOE make me think that progression to 2nd-tier zones may be made more reasonable soon.

2. I very much suspect that the expansion (if it happens) would be of the Kunark/Luclin variety. That is, it would have areas appropriate for every level including the high-end. Think about Skyfire, Umbral, and other Kunark and Luclin zones in light of the fact that there will now be post-60s hunting.

In fact based on previous, new-race expansions I would think that we could get very close to actually describing this one: there will be a new city zone (though Guk might simply be re-vamped) with newbie areas associated. There will be around a total of 20-30 new zones, of which 2-4 will be newbie zones, 2-4 will be 55-65 hunting zones, 3-6 will be raiding dungeons and the rest will be a mix (given the name, mostly mid-level dungeons, possibly forming a network of dungeons under Norrath similar to Nurga/Droga off of FM).

That would match both Kunark and Luclin without being very specific at all.
Hmm

Froggies are in cab...

possibly the froggies take over a part of cab or is this not allowed? it is an idea now isnt it? or perhaps they become friends? which seems unlikely hehe
Froglok Beastlords?
# Dec 17 2002 at 10:45 AM Rating: Decent
If Froglok Beastlords are a playable combo, what would their pets be? Heart spiders? Mushrooms?
#Anonymous, Posted: Dec 17 2002 at 5:05 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) your "sources" must have read their info on castersrealm.com three days ago. that site has been consistently scooping you for news for a long time now. someone sent in a copy of a tm app by soe an they posted it. speculation ranges on what it will be for, mebbe eq2, mebbe posstation, or cell phone eq, no official word atm.

Baelish is definitely the best news site out there. We never really claimed to cover news to the extent he does. Tux Racer sent us the same e-mail and link he sent to Baelish. I just decided to ask around a little more to double check on it before posting anything. That's what led me to the Froglok info and a certainty that it is for the PC version of eq and not another version.

I like the idea personally. Keep adding to the game. I also think that there needs to be more low/mid level dungeons. But, I also think that SoE needs to clean up the bugs etc.. before they go and release another expansion. Something about Luclin and PoP just kills me. LAG... I am sure that most every player will agree that this is a major problem. I have more than 2 times the machine for the game. Graphic lag etc.. should not be a problem. But everytime I go to almost anywhere on Luclin or PoP I lag like hell. Yes, more dungeons will be nice and will also spread more people farther out and keep some populous in the old world. Another thing is I hope that if they do this, they will use most of the older graphics to cut out the mass amounts excessive lag that the newer graphics have been causing with most all of us. A new class... hmmmm Frogies??? hmmmmm let me think about that one. Again... hmmmm... It could be interesting... they would be the most hated race (save the Iksar) It sounds pretty cool from what we have heard so far.
