Hello to all my fellow EverQuest 2 players, with the shut down of EQ2 Wire there has been no place that has a rundown of the new expansion.
While I won't be able to do as fantastic job as Feldon did with EQ2Wire I am going to try.
I'll start with a breakdown of the Livestream and will add more information as I play thru the beta.
