EverQuest II’s Seeds of Vengeance has launched with a double XP event – go getcher free level 100 toon

Live in EverQuest II today is the long-awaited GU106: Seeds of Vengeance update. As Daybreak’s previously noted, the update includes the new Shard of Hate zone, the item examine window UI revamp, and new expert and expert event versions of some dungeons, plus the new fast travel feature to the Plane of Magic. There’s a big sale on cash shop items through the weekend, as well as a double experience event over the holiday to aid your leveling.

Beginning today, Daybreak has also kicked off a promotion granting “all existing accounts” a freebie level 100 heroic character, complete with a familiar, mercenary, flying mount, and a full set of gear, plus temporary access to the Planes of Prophecy so that you can actually level to 105 and check out the new stuff.

“After June 7th, characters that have leveled above 100 will stay at their current level, but will not be able to level up further unless the Planes of Prophecy expansion is purchased,” Daybreak notes. “Characters in expansion zones will be automatically removed from the area upon zoning in, and you’ll be able to continue your adventures outside the Planes.”
