SOE Abolishes Gold Limits To Promote Krono
November 7th, 2012 
Omali The Krono is an item similar to PLEX in that it is purchased on the cash shop and can be traded between players for in-game currency, and then redeemed for a month of subscription. The idea behind the item is to undercut gold farmers and (in the case of Everquest II) to allow for the [...]
Sony Joins The PLEX Trade, Reveals Krono
October 19th, 2012 Omali PLEX is an item in Eve Online which allows pilots to purchase subscription time without spending a dime. In essence, one player purchases a PLEX for the cost of one month’s subscription. The PLEX is a real item that exists in the game world, and can be sold to other players for ISK, thus creating [...]
Everquest & Everquest II: More Expansions!
September 6th, 2012 Omali As I sat in my chair today, I thought: What does Everquest need more than anything? And like the small statue on the mantle above where I was sitting, the answer struck me like a ton of bricks. Everquest needs a nineteenth expansion. And before I could pull myself out of the concussion and contact [...]
Sony Announces Player Studio: Create Items For Everquest
September 6th, 2012 Omali Sony Online Entertainment has done it again. Last night, John Smedley tweeted that there were two major announcements coming Thursday and Friday. No, they aren’t the shutting down of Planetside (nor are they the acquisition of Paragon Studios, so stop asking). The first major announcement, released today, involves the Everquest games, Vanguard, and Free Realms. [...]
Everquest II’s Goblin Games Seems Inspired By Squeal of Fortune
August 25th, 2012 Omali I have to imagine that somewhere out there, at least one person has stopped playing RuneScape because of Squeal of Fortune, and wound up playing Everquest II instead. The odds are low, incredibly so, but with time my mind seems to think that such a person must be, and gee, will this news stink. For [...]
ProSiebenSat.1 Deal Altered, More Titles Heading To Europe
August 18th, 2012 Omali You may remember back in February when Sony Online Entertainment announced that they would be opening up a multi-year partnership with European ProSiebenSat.1 Games Group. The list of games affected includes DC Universe, Everquest II, Free Realms, Everquest Next, and Planetside 2. Oddly enough, and without explanation, the list did not include Everquest, Vanguard, and [...]
Sony Will No Longer Sell Expansions For Station Cash.
August 12th, 2012 Omali Two months ago, Sony Online Entertainment incited a backlash from the community by removing the ability to purchase subscriptions with Station Cash without notice. In learning from their past PR mistake, Sony has offered players prior notice before their next change. Beginning Monday August 27th, it will no longer be possible to purchase expansion packs [...]
A Day Without A Play: SOE 24 Hour Maintenance
April 20th, 2012 Omali Cancel your Monday plans on Everquest, ask Batman for a rain check, and take down your “John Smedley is Satan” banner. This Monday, the 23rd of April, Sony Online Entertainment will be going offline for maintenance. The extended maintenance period will last approximately 24 hours, from midnight to midnight Pacific time. Consider Monday as the [...]
Everquest II And Cancer: A Froglok’s Story
March 12th, 2012 Omali This is a depressing post but I need some help. My 6 yr old son has cancer and was recently given 6 – 12 weeks to live. He has a frog that he likes to run around Tenebrous Tangle Island on; however, it is sparse and he has requested to add trees, fences, stairs, animals [...]
