Daybreak’s latest player poll has EverQuest II players scratching their heads.
Launched with this week’s patch, the poll asks EQII players whether they’d be interested in prestige servers and which type — one would be marked “no-heirloom,” meaning that heirloom items can be traded between players, and the other option is called “Race to Trakanon,” a “seasonal server race to Kunark end game to earn exclusive rewards redeemable on live servers for all participants.” Players could choose either of those or both, but there is no “none of the above” selection.
Multiple posts have sprung up in the game forums as players wonder why the poll seemed to have come from nowhere, why Daybreak would think either option was in demand, why the studio would spend dev resources on these servers instead of fixing the game, and how such servers might affect existing progression servers in a post-merge EQII.
