I’ve written before about just what a PITA the latest EQ expansion is, and on two servers they’ve finally managed to jump through all the hoops and complete it.
The goal of the expansion was to free some guy called Zebuxoruk, a mortal who had learned the secrets of the gods and was imprisoned by them in the Plane of Time before he could spread his knowledge. To get to him, you had to work through five tiers of planes, or roughly:
1. Kill various ‘boss’ monsters to gain access to the second and third tier planes.
2. Kill Rallos Zek and Solusek Ro to gain access to the elemental planes.
3. Kill the ‘boss’ of each elemental type to gain access to the Plane of Time.
4. Once in Time, work your way through:
4a. Five trials which have to be completed in around fifty minutes or less.
4b. Fight through five waves where you have to defeat most of the gods you killed to get here all over again, with a couple hours to do each wave.
4c. Fight Quarm, a four-headed dragon that is the combined essence of the remaining gods.
And what happens after you complete all that?
Congrats, you have released Rob Zombie from his captivity!
And then another god shows up and says “Well I can’t allow this to happen, I’m turning time back.” And you wind up back at the start.
Nothing like “…songs of love, destruction, and other synthetic delusions of the Ever Quest…” :-)
That comment is either going to come across unbelievably funny, or really pathetic. :-)
Tee hee. :-)
