EverQuest II Estate of Unrest Previews

Both Ten Ton Hammer and GamersInfo.net have posted previews of EverQuest II’s version of the classic EverQuest zone, Estate of Unrest. An excerpt from Ten Ton Hammer’s article:

As we entered, the zone seemed very familiar to me, so it appears they went for a nostalgic feel. I saw the fountain, gazebo, and even the original hedge maze I used to play hide and seek with undead in. Grimwell made a point to state everything in the zone was original textures so nothing was recycled from other parts of Echoes of Faydwer. We hadn’t been inside long, before we were taken to our first (clue.) Much to my disappointment, it was not a murder weapon. It also occurred to me that if you have twitchy hands from guzzling energy drinks, you might have to turn it down a notch so you can pay attention.

And an excerpt from GamersInfo’s article:

New visitors to Unrest are encouraged, in fact, required, to spend some time outside the mansion on the grounds, gaining access to the mansion itself via exploration and creativity. But be warned! A level 80 epic creature, The Bugaboo, also roams the grounds. The sight of him is not for the faint of heart.
