Back in the day in EverQuest II, Deathfist Citadel was the home of the Deathfist orc clan, and players went ahead and stormed the place and killed the clan’s leader. Why? Well, with a name like “Deathfist,” you’re either up to no good or forming a crappy college metal band, either of which made killing the leaders a reasonable response. But now there’s a new threat facing players, a brighter gang of orcs known as the Scourge, and they’ve taken over the building and renamed it Scourge Keep.
Needless to say, players will be needed to take care of the Scourge in both Scourge Keep and the Siege, both releasing with the upcoming game update 100 for subscribers. In the former, players can find a variety of orcish opponents at varying challenge levels; in the latter, players can fight through the Scourge and ultimately unlock a special challenge-mode battle against Sanctifier Goortuk. The fight against the Scourge should give players plenty to do when the update goes live, although there’s some debate over whether “The Scourge” sounds like a worse band name than “Deathfist.”
