The summer spectacular has arrived in EverQuest and EverQuest II. No mediocrity with summer for you, it’s all the spectacular here. The events run until July 8th, and while there’s very little going on within the lore of the game’s world, there are plenty of bonuses in-game. In EQII, you’ll enjoy having doubled status, guild experience, and currency rewards until the end of the event, with this doubling applied on top of normal member doubling, while in its classic cousin, expect “all XP, faction, and rare spawns [to] be increased by 76%.”
There’s probably a deity in Norrath you can thank for that if you’re really so inclined. No one has to know.
Players can also get a special Scorched Sky Carpet mount in EQII if they are already members during the event, and there are new items in the Marketplace to celebrate the season. For players who are less interested in what’s largely a marketing event, you can console yourself with new progress in the game’s time-locked expansion servers, with a new PvP season starting on Nagafen and the next expansion opening up on Kaladim on July 9th.
