EverQuest II Update 54 Impressions

The editors at Ten Ton Hammer have whipped up some quick impressions of SOE’s newly released “Will of a Tyrant” content patch for EverQuest II.

More than just a content update, this patch is also the second in what are being touted as pre-launch events leading up to the game’s next expansion Sentinel’s Fate. On the surface it appears to be a fairly minor patch, with the addition of only two quest lines for players to complete, but the real strength of the update is in the details; it’s a matter of quality over quantity. Over 800 bugs were fixed with this update. We also see the city of Freeport partially destroyed. Violence has erupted in the streets and the city’s patriarch, Lucan D’Lere, is nowhere to be found.

(Will of a Tyrant) centers on the disappearance of Lucan, but also features a nefarious plot against the leader of Qeynos, Antonia Bayle. Players of nearly all levels can take up the cause and help the leaders of their respective cities try and unravel the mysterious events taking place all over Norrath.
