Is it just me, or does this "Legends Server" sound more like another test server?
With the amount of new items that they are going to get first, it honestly sounds to me like they are trying to see how they will work there before they put them on the real servers. If they do it there, they have a max of 8000 players complaining, whereas if they do it on the real servers first, they have over 400,000 people complaining?
And to charge THAT much for it, who are they kidding? No way in hell am i gonna put that much moneyinto a server that is HIGHLY likely to have more bugs and be another way for them to test items etc without a bunch of people complaining.
Yeah the new interfaces looked ok, but in my eyes, the old one seems better laid out.
EverQuest Legends
We just received notice from the Director of Web Presence, Nathan Pearce about the new EverQuest Legends. The following is what they are advertising.
Character Pages
Part of the Legends web site, each player character will have a personal homepage featuring all the character's statistics and items, and will be updated daily.
Dynamic Server (Exclusive)
Our dedicated team of Customer Service & Development staff will not only be providing in-game support to our Legends players, but also running new quests and adventures for players of all levels to participate in.
Legendary Items
Some of these Legendary items will even be named after the first player who discovers them.
Calendar of Events
This web-based calendar will be kept up to date by the Legends Team, and will let you know who, when, where, and what is going on server-wide.
Interactive Maps
Quickly find which zone your character is bound in, and which zones you have or haven't visited.
Tales of Adventure
The Tales of Adventure will feature the best stories submitted by Legends players, prominently displayed for the whole world to marvel in your glorious deeds!
Guild Halls
This new service includes a guild calendar, message board, member roster, and pages to post guild news, the guild history, and more! (Including logo)
This sounds like a really great idea, I can't wait to see it live. However, there are only 8000 spots available, but if you do get in, you can move 8 of your current characters on a single account with items.
The monthly cost is $39.95 and will include your current subscription. Sign up is February 4, 2002. Remember ONLY 8000 lucky people will get this chance. Sign up at EverQuest Legends.com
