Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })EverQuest 2 (2004) takes place 500 years after the original EverQuest. Immediately after the events of the Plane of Time from the first game, the Gods all left, the Ogres started the 2nd Rallosian War and nearly conquered all of Antonica again, Norrath suffered from a great cataclysm known as The Rending that tore up the entire planet over the course of 300 years, and finally, "The Shattering" happened when the moon Luclin exploded, raining down on the face of Norrath. Antonica took the brunt of the armageddon, despite having already been split into several continents from the Rending. The initial myth arc was that the seas were finally calm enough after Luclin's fall to be sailed, and the adventurers were seeking out all the old lands. There was also a cold war going on between Freeport and Qeynos. The former fell under the hold of the mysterious Overlord Lucan D'Lere, the latter is ruled by the descendant of EQ1's Antonius Bayle, Antonia Bayle.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Then came expansions. Well, first came "adventure packs", a concept sort of like a mini-expansion that didn't prove very popular. The continents of Faydwer, Kunark, Odus, and Velious would come soon enough, each continent having their own share of troubles. In addition to the expansions, content is added to the game in the form of "Live Updates". Sometimes the Live Update content is only available to players with the most recent expansion, but other times it's completely free.EQ2 added a few new races to the game, as well as vastly different gameplay mechanics. Most notably, there is ample content for single players, and it is possible to advance to the maximum level (100 as of the Altar of Malice expansion) without ever stepping into a group. Quest lines are easier to follow, and rewards are easier to come by. However, EQ2 now faces the same issue its predecessor does of too many players at the upper level. SOE has responded to this problem by trying to make it easier for players to rush through all of the "old world" content and get to maximum level as fast as possible.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

EverQuest II / Videogame / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Averted, unlike EQ1. EQ2 has "language quests", where you have to kill enemies of a certain race until they drop items, and when you've collected enough items then you learn to speak that language. Until you've done so, they're incomprehensible. The developers even included alien-sounding gibberish recorded voice lines for speaking NPCs and players who don't speak that language. | |

Damage Discrimination: Usually. Most monsters will not harm friendly monsters, though there are a few cases where they do. For example, in Tower of Nurga, there's a fight where you have to position a drake boss so that his fire blasts hit two goblins guarding an elevator. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Way too many to list all of them, but here's a few... Za Za Lenska gives you a quest to get "potion ingredients to help her husband" that include snake venom (a reference to Zsa Zsa Gabor going through husbands). A character you're forced to fight one-on-one in a monk trial event is called Crush "The Icescale" Lizzard (shout out to Chuck "The Iceman" Liddel). The quest "The Number One Threat In the Butcherblock" requires you to kill bears. Given to you by Scout Colbear. | |

The Artifact | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: EQ2 doesn't have it quite as bad as its predecessor. For one thing, there are fewer outdoor zones, and thus nothing to be "reliced". Also, Sony sometimes lowers difficulty of monsters, or an entire zone, from "raid" to "group", or from "group" to "solo". Still, some formerly high end dungeons like Solusek's Eye now have little point to them. Also, leveling is so easy now that the low end dungeons just aren't necessary anymore, as a player could gain five levels in less time than it would take him to find a group. The Thundering Steppes and Enchanted Lands are two of the original outdoor zones. Most of the original zones were "streamlined" (NPCs were moved closer to each other, quests were organized into a more linear timeline, monsters were moved around the zones to make them easier to find and most group-scaled content was scaled back to solo). Thundering Steppes and Enchanted Lands were never given large scale revamps and have barely changed since the game was first released in 2005. With the Destiny of Velious expansion, EQ2 did away with weight entirely, rendering the big-but-super-heavy bank container suddenly something you can carry around with no difficulty, and a boss whose trick was teleporting 9999 lb stones into your inventory rather pointless. An unusual subversion in Everquest 2 is The Protector's Realm. As of the Rise of Kunark expansion, it was a high-end raid target. With the level cap raised by 10 and the stat bonuses conferred by gear vastly improved, it can generally be cleared with a single group (as opposed to four), and has found new life as a great area for money farming. A good "PR plat run" can net a player in the neighborhood of 30 plat. 'Hail' itself is an artifact dating all the way back to the late 90s when EQ1 was a roleplaying-expected game. The word itself is an antiquated way of opening a dialogue with someone else, just as "Hello" is today. While it's been phased out from modern language for the most part, 'hail' is way too ingrained in Everquest culture to be removed or changed. This was even lampshaded by an NPC in Nettleville Hovel. When you hailed her, her first reaction was that she wasn't expecting any weather today. | |

BoisterousBruiser | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_153299b4 | comment |
The good races are more likely to make (mostly) good natured jokes than indulge in prejudice, but it still happens. High Elves think the Wood Elves lack proper elven dignity and morality, and Wood Elves think that High Elves are too haughty and self-righteous. Good Erudites still think they're smarter than everyone else, and they especially look down on the ancestor-worshipping kerrans. Dwarves and good Barbarians tend to be boisterous bruisers and consider themselves good honest slobs compared to the others. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_18ca6144 | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography: The original expansion. Depending on whether you're aligned with Qeynos or Freeport, the first large outdoor zone you'll explore (in your 10s, level wise) explored is either Antonica (a Green Hill Zone) or The Commonlands (a savannah). In your 20s, it's on to The Thundering Steppes (plains beat to hell by a catacylsm) or Nektulos Forest (The Lost Woods). In your 30s, it's on to Zek, the Orcish Wastes (a barren wasteland) and The Enchanted Lands (a beautiful but eerie cursed island). And then in the 40s, it's on to Everfrost (Slippy-Slidey Ice World mixed with Grim Up North) and Lavastorm (Death Mountain and Lethal Lava Land in one). | |

Alternate Timeline | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_19b6f396 | comment |
Alternate Timeline: Everquests 1 and 2 are alternate timelines of each other, diverging from essentially the place that EQ1's storyline was when EQ2 was first released. So for example, although in EQ1's timeline the Frogloks only held the city of Grobb (Gukta) for a few years, since EQ2 came out while they did, in its timeline the Frogloks never lost Gukta. In the EQ2 Chains of Eternity expansion, EQ1's Cazic-Thule tries to invade the plane of Ethernere. | |

Play the Game, Skip the Story: Invoked. The developers were savvy enough to listen to the players whining about having to click through 5-6-7-8-12 dialogue boxes to get to the quests, so with the Sentinel's Fate expansion, along with the "Yes, please continue" and "No, I'm not interested" dialogue boxes, they started adding a "Yeah, yeah, skip the story, do you have any work for me or not?" dialogue box so players can just get the quest and get to work. | |

EverQuest II / Videogame / int_1eb49c19 | comment |
Stripperiffic: Played straight and averted at various times. Antonia Bayle was stripperiffic in the tradition of Firiona Vie from EQ1. However, after the first two expansions SOE deliberately moved away from plastering her all over the boxes as an advertisement. Further, unlike in EQ1, "unequipped" female characters wore peasant like clothing. There was one skimpy dress, but it was a prestige item. Then as of Destiny of Velious, the trope came back with a vengeance. Villainesses Tserinna Syl'Tor, Cara Omica and Sullon Zek all sported "armor" that amounted to thigh high boots and a bikini, and plate mail halter tops became available to players. Then, a couple of live updates later, Antonia was given a full length gown to replace her previous bra and waist sash outfit. | |

Non-Mammal Mammaries: Thoroughly averted. The game features a few amphibian and reptilian races. Female Iksar are skinnier than males. Female Frogloks are virtually indistinguishable from males. Female Sarnaks are actually much bigger than male sarnaks (No less than 2 feet taller), although their facial horns and features are smaller, blunter and less elaborate. Played straight with the Bixies, an NPC race of bees. They're insects, to be sure, but a cross between a bee and a woman, and their torso's carapaces all have two breasts. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Some area-of-effect attacks while soloing dungeons, particularly at low-mid levels. While facing a group of mobs with one of your Ao E attacks active, hitting all of them at once sounds like a great idea, doesn't it? Unfortunately, sometimes these will hit enemies behind walls, grabbing their attention and causing a swarm of them to clip through the dungeon walls to beat you up. Sometimes, you can aggro mobs - and even named enemies - from an entirely different floor. | |

Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: The boss Auliffe Chaoswind requires the players to do this as his gimmick. Namely, he will say " I am not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with ME" and create a white circle on the ground which kills anyone who goes outside it. At other times, he will say "back off! let's see how well you scramble!" and create a red circle on the ground which kills anyone who doesn't run off of it in time. | |

Hammer Space: Lampshaded during a quest from the Bristlebane Day (April Fools) celebration. You're tasked with recovering 50 novelty and joke items and gadgets from a pirate. When you return to the quest giver he asks how you managed to carry all of that on your person, and you reply with "You know... I have no idea." | |

Kick the Dog: Prior to LU61, if you lived in Freeport, you could kick dogs. Cats and pigs too. Animals roamed around the residential areas in Freeport, and you can kill them if you so chose. Qeynosians had animals wandering around too, but they were unattackable. Still, any Qeynosian who badly wanted to indulge in some dog kicking could sneak into Freeport and kick dogs to their hearts content. | |

Thug Dojo: After Lucan D'Lere took over Freeport, he gave the Ashen Order of monks two choices: Bend to his will or leave. They packed up and left. A few more unsavory students stayed behind to form the Dreadnaughts, a literal group of thugs who believe more in fighting dirty and inflicting pain more than following a code of discipline. Lucan uses them to rough up shopkeepers who won't pay protection money and citizens who are late on their rent. | |

Expansion Pack: Many many of these. They churn them out so often. As of now, EQ2 has 13 full size expansion packs plus three "adventure packs". The adventure pack concept didn't turn out to be very popular. EQ2 also release an amount of content that could be reasonably described as a mini-expansion pack about halfway between expansions, for free. | |

King Incognito: During "The City of Qeynos" questline, you come across an NPC named Rinna, who is doing humanitarian aid to Gnome and Halfling refugees who've been chased out of the Baubleshire. Her quests eventually lead to discovering criminal acts involving the Bloodsabers, who are trying to spread disease through the city. Rinna ends up being accused of a major crime during your investigation and goes on the run. You do rescue her, but she goes into hiding with the promise that you'll meet again somewhere. You're later summoned to Queen Antonia's chambers to discuss a different quest, and you have the chance to look into her back room, where Rinna's outfit is displayed on a mannequin. | |

Cessation of Existence | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_4a0f839d | comment |
Cessation of Existence: The Age's End prophecy that makes up the majority of the game's storyline. The prismatic dragon Kerafyrm is an Omnicidal Maniac who wants to destroy Norrath and bring about a second Age of Scale where only his own dragonic kind may exist. To do this, he tricked mortals into defeating Roehn Theer, the Avatar of the Nameless who contains the power to kill Gods themselves, and then swooped in to absorb that power into himself. Norrath's pantheon of gods, as well as the dragons, are aware that if Kerafyrm is physically killed, then it will cause the complete erasure of all existence. | |

Tailor-Made Prison | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_4e1d9178 | comment |
Tailor-Made Prison: Combined with a self-invoked Sealed Evil in a Can. The Goddess of Love, Erollisi Marr, was sealed up within her very own memorial shrine that was built in New Halas, in the statue that was forged by Verig Ro, the God of the Forge. After adventurers are tricked into tampering with the statue and creating a small crack on the surface, Erollisi was able to escape and reform herself. She reveals that Ullkorruuk, the Goddess of Betrayal, was the one who put her there in the first place, and the only way she could keep her locked away was if she locked herself up and used her powers to maintain the prison. When Erollisi escaped, she kicked Ullkorruuk's butt and showed her how her very own motivations for existence backfired against her. | |

Early Installment Weirdness: With the initial game, most Non Player Characters actually had voice acting for their lines of dialogue. The longer the game ran, the more infrequent spoken lines became. At this point it's a little disconcerting to speak to some of the older NPCs and have them actually answer you - especially unimportant 'ecology' NPCs. | |

Temporal Paradox | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_501de366 | comment |
Temporal Paradox: The Shiny Metallic Robe heritage quest results in a paradox that leads to you finding a portal that takes you to 500 years in the past (in EQ1's time) where Clockworks have taken over the entire world. You meet a gnome enchanter who figures that if you're from the future, then she's trapped in a time bubble existing outside the normal timeline. She tells you that she was probably the cause of this alternate reality, and knows how to prevent it from happening with your help. This results in a Stable Time Loop that fixes the timeline by giving you the item that caused it in the first place; a package that is not to be delivered to you until 500 years later, back in the present time. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: You have to pay to repair your armor, and you get a small xp penalty which regenerates if you have the game turned off. When the game first started, it was a bit more painful, as you'd have to retrieve your "spirit shard" from where you died to get 50% of your exp back, but that was done away with years ago. | |

Fantastic Racism: Between the Kerrans and Erudites. Going all the way back to well before EQ1 where the Erudites drove the Kerra off the mainland of Odus onto an island that became called Kerra Isle. With the original release of EQ2 Lucan D'Lere proved how evil he was by making the Kerrans and Erudites share a slum. In Sentinel's Fate the old hostilities flared up, with the Kerrans hating the uncaring and disconnected-from-nature Erudites and the Erudites despising the backwards superstitious Kerra. | |

Black and Grey Morality: The entirety of the Sentinel's Fate expansion. The Erudites have a racial outlook that pretty much boils down to "For Science!". They messed around with necromancy, slaughtered Kerra and Hua Mein, and generally were jackasses to everyone. However, they were fighting to save Odus and possibly all of Norrath from either being torn apart by the Void itself or drawn into the Underfoot, and the Void Invaders and Guardians of the Underfoot are nowhere near as nice as the Erudites... | |

BackStab: The rogues take the scout archetype, though all scout classes excluding bards can backstab, the Assassin takes the cake for sheer overkill. Near end game they have at least 7 backstabs, a few location dependent abilities, and a few combat abilities that "stealth" the assassin after execution. They can simply out-damage any other class except some nukers; well, that is if they don't get squished after grabbing aggro. | |

Boss Game | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_5a5899e4 | comment |
Boss Game: In spades, especially when it comes to higher end content. Some raid zones don't even have "trash", it's just a gauntlet of boss after boss. The best example of this might be Toxxiulla's Mound. No trash, just a ring event involving dragons. The other good example would be The Palace of Roheen Theer. No trash, just epic after epic. It's worth noting that many raiders prefer the boss-only zones because generally killing "trash" doesn't result in loot drops which makes time not spent working on the bosses time wasted. | |

Pragmatic Villainy: The Sarnak of Gorowyn. They lead a fairly militaristic lifestyle, but decided it would be much more profitable to make Gorowyn accessible to good-aligned adventurers as a waypoint between their lands and Kunark than to follow the standard Evil practice of killing them for the evulz. The only reason why they practice more evil professions is because it was the best way for them to survive in their environment. Lucan D'Lere's motivation for allowing templars to start practicing in Freeport - after the riots, having healers who would actually heal (and preach of the wonderfullness of Lucan) as opposed to the inquisitor style "beatings will continue until morale improves" method of healing would help bring the populace back in line and improve their loyalty. | |

Shoulders of Doom | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_610d5e4e | comment |
Shoulders of Doom: Elaborate shoulderpads were introduced with much fanfare in The Shadow Odyssey. And the better the armor is, the more likely it is to come with elaborate shoulder pads, e.g. raid armor has fancier shoulderpads than dungeon dropped gear. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: In general, SOE does a fairly good job at providing both easy content for the casual players and really difficult stuff for the hardcore ones. Sentinel's Fate originally had two raid zones. It took the game's best guild 6 months to defeat the 4 Rune Roehn Theer boss, and almost as long to defeat Arkathanthis the Destroyer. Then, so the top level guilds didn't get complacent, they released the Underfoot Depths raid zone in LU57... Starting with Destiny of Velious, SOE has been making "normal mode" and "challenge mode" for most raid content and occasionally for a group-scaled or solo-scaled dungeon or boss as well. Challenge mode monsters hit much harder and the bosses require a more complicated strategy to beat. | |

Name's the Same: In-universe. In the early days before SOE had an expansive name filter, one of the easiest ways for them to prevent a player from having a particular name was to make sure an NPC had that same name. So there are merchants in Qeynos named Aeris and Celes, and there used to be an NPC in Freeport named Beren. | |

Get on the Boat: When EQ2 first came out, Get on the Boat was one of the major themes of the game - get on the boat and sail to the newly rediscovered lands. You had to complete substantial quest lines before you were allowed to. Now? Not at all. The boat quests can still be completed but aren't necessary anymore. | |

Forced Tutorial | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_735b967c | comment |
Forced Tutorial: Controversially removed from the game. The original game started all players out as "Level 1 Commoners" in a zone called "Isle of Refuge". You learned to play by completing the quests there, picked your archetype (fighter, mage, priest, scout), and an alignment (Qeynos or Freeport). The whole archetype and class picking part was done away with years ago, "to make the newbie experience more unique", and the Isle of Refuge was split into The Queen's Colony (for good characters) and Outpost of the Overlord (for evil ones). But as the focus of the game shifted away from Qeynos and Freeport and the gear from the two tutorial zones became outdated, SOE decided to just get rid of them entirely. These zones were eventually put back into the game, with new players allowed to experience the storyline presented in them, and older players allowed to visit at any level just for the sake of visiting and completing those quests. Tutorials now exist as a series of pop-up windows and they aren't mandatory. There's no reason a newbie can't just start level grinding and ignore the hell out of all the quests. | |

Random Drop | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_7367e5f7 | comment |
Random Drop: Somewhat averted. The game went through a massive re-itemization in 2013, and now you know (or can quickly find out) which monsters will drop what kind of gear - and further more many if not most of the older zones are designed so that for every kind of gear there's a Named Mob to drop it. That being said, if you're after a particular piece of armor, you've got 1 in 7 odds of getting the right piece... Rare Random Drop: ...and that's if you're looking for the more common stuff. Namers have a common drop and a rare drop, which appears much more rarely than the common drops. | |

Slobs Versus Snobs | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_76db0ef5 | comment |
Slobs vs. Snobs: Hoo boy. The evil races are all about this. Dark Elves and Arasai consider all the other evil races to either be slobbish brutes fit only to be manipulated, or worthless sneaks. Iksar and Sarnak view themselves as the snobs, looking down on the Dark Elves and Arasai for being decadent weaklings and the others (including each other) for being either savages or sneaks. Ratonga and evil Gnomes consider themselves the snobs and consider the other evil races to be big oafs who aren't as smart as they think they are. Evil Erudites see themselves as the snobs and all the other races as slovenly imbeciles. Ogres, Trolls, and evil Barbarians, however, proudly view themselves as the slobs and the other evil races as prissy snobby stuck up weaklings. The good races are more likely to make (mostly) good natured jokes than indulge in prejudice, but it still happens. High Elves think the Wood Elves lack proper elven dignity and morality, and Wood Elves think that High Elves are too haughty and self-righteous. Good Erudites still think they're smarter than everyone else, and they especially look down on the ancestor-worshipping kerrans. Dwarves and good Barbarians tend to be boisterous bruisers and consider themselves good honest slobs compared to the others. | |

EverQuest II / Videogame / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: EQ2 did this in The Shadow Odyssey expansion. In their attempts to fight off the invading forces of the Void and prevent them from destroying Norrath, the players eventually had to fight against the former God of Health from Norrath's Pantheon, Anashti Sul. She had been banished to the Void for unleashing the Undead upon Norrath, and now she wanted revenge. When the players finally defeated her, they ended up breaking the proverbial leash that kept her bound in the Void, and was allowed to reform herself on Norrath. Even she could not have predicted such an outcome when she died, but was pleased nonetheless. She now exists on Norrath as the God of Eternal Life. She's still evil and bitter about what the gods did to her though. Sentinal's Fate, the follow up to the Shadow Odyssey has this again. When you defeat the 4 Rune Roheen Theer, you weaken him enough to allow Kerafyrm to steal the power of his magic god-killing swords. With Roheen Theer out of the picture, the void's grip on Odus weakened, which forced the Erudites and adventurers to turn their attention to preventing the whole of Norrath from being pulled into the Underfoot. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy: A very downplayed example, but Lord Nagafen in the first game was just an evil monster who couldn't be reasoned with and tried to kill everyone he met on sight. Here he is a quest giver and not immediately hostile. While he's still a pretty big Jerkass, he comes across more as a Well-Intentioned Extremist who is trying to stop Darathar (the game's orignal Big Bad,) and seems genuinely distraught over Lady Vox being killed by Darathar's forces. | |

Worthless Yellow Rocks | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_83856158 | comment |
Worthless Yellow Rocks: Both averted and played straight. When the game first started, gold was exceptionally hard to come by or save up, and any player who had even 1 Platinum coin was among the richest people in the game (100 copper = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold, 100 gold = 1 platinum.) This late into the game, gold is generously given out by monsters and quests at high levels, and the value of platinum has dropped, leading to inflation because everyone has so much of it. It's common to see people throwing four to five hundred platinum at a single piece of gear. At the same time, copper and gold clusters are a commonly-found tier 1 and tier 3 tradeskill harvest, respectively. With Gold clusters being so common, they're extremely cheap to buy on the market, usually 1 copper per. This is just the player-created economy though. On the story side, the residents of Norrath themselves rarely ever make any mention or claim that gold is valuable. Goblins love the stuff, but that's mainly because it's shiny. On the flipside though, in terms of both the story and player economy, Silver clusters are extremely valuable. They're a high level rare harvest that players will pay a lot of platinum for, and some NPC's give quests that require them as various components for whatever they're doing. You'd think that someone on Norrath would just get the idea to smelt down all the commonly found silver coins and just use that instead. | |

Absurdly Spacious Sewer | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_87e661e8 | comment |
Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Qeynos and Freeport both have massive sprawling sewer systems that encompass 3 zones each and can keep an adventurer occupied from his newbie days through about level 30. Some parts of the sewers of Qeynos take this trope to such a ridiculous extreme that you might be forgiven for thinking you're in an underground cathedral (since there are those there as well.) Justified in that the sewers are also the catacombs where most of Qeynos' dead are laid to rest. Kinda like they used to do in Paris, France. Freeport's sewer system is significantly wetter and filthier (the deepest section, Edgewater Drains, is partially flooded), and was designed to filter the tides so that the ocean stays out of Freeport and no other city districts go the way of Sunken City. | |

TookALevelInJerkass | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Rallos Zek, the God of War, in the Destiny of Velious expansion pack and the subsequent patches "Children of War" and "The War of Zek". Rallos was always an evil god, and has tried to put his ambitions of war and conquest into motion numerous times in the past, including the Planes of Power expansion pack in EverQuest and both Rallosian Wars. This time around, once Kerafyrm absorbed the powers of Roehn Theer, Rallos wanted to fight Kerafyrm immediately, even while knowing that one possible side effect of killing Kerafyrm would be the dissolution of all existence. Why? Because he believes that with the powers of Theer, he can become the True King and plunge Norrath into perpetual war. Not Jerkass enough for you? His plan is to kill his children Vallon, Tallon and Sullon Zek, and absorb their power back into himself to make himself a match for Kerafyrm, and after he's beaten Kerafyrm, use the power of Theer to kill all the other Gods and rule Norrath unopposed. | |

Dangerous Forbidden Technique | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_8f0dc93c | comment |
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: There are two entire schools of forbidden magic: Deathnote it's not entirely clear how this differentiates from Necromancy and Decaynote A druidic field of magic tied in to biological decay. Death Magic's the better known and more popular of the two forbidden magic schools - Maalus Shadowfyre, one of the tougher raid bosses from Sentinel's Fate was a Deathmage. Decay magic is far less frequently referenced - the most recent is from the Rise of Kunark era. A cult of druids started dabbling in it and accidentally turned themselves all into fungusmen. | |

Big Bad | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_970c790a | comment |
Unrest in EQ2 is much scarier than the first envisioning. The zone is strongly story-driven. You're being watched and commented on by the Big Bad of the end zone as you discover the cause of the curse that rests upon the estate and how he brutally slaughtered the innocent family that lived there. Just before you fight him, he actually realizes that you are a player behind a computer monitor, and tries to "jump" out of the screen at you when he pulls an Interface Screw on you before you approach him. | |

Allegedly Free Game | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_97c6b148 | comment |
Allegedly Free Game: EverQuest 2 opened up to a Free To Play model in 2011, initially allowing players to play the entire game for free, but at severe restrictions. The model underwent some redesigns, especially when Sony Online Entertainment sold the game to Daybreak Studios. As of 2018, free to play players have access to four character slots; can only use certain designated chat channels (an anti-spambot countermeasure); have alternate advancement points set at 50% and have no control over where those points are allocated; can only level to 20 levels lower than the adventure cap; have some restrictions on spell and gear quality; cannot trade certain items; have fully access to every expansion up unto the last 5 releases; and cannot access special event servers like Time-Locked Expansion servers or the PVP servers. The Freeblood and Aerakyn races, and the Channeler and Beastlord classes are still locked behind a freemium paywall, even for All Access subscribers (which is mitigated by the 500 Daybreak Cash given each per month.) The initial Free to Play business model had some hangups which upset and frustrated returning veteran players with the fact that their fully Mythical-geared level 90 Sarnak Bruiser now had to be unlocked by buying the right to play as both the Sarnak race and the Bruiser class first, as well as paying $10 per character slot past the most recent 2 you used, as well as $0.30 per mythical item to use said gear. This was very quickly patched with a formal apology and a refund of any such packs that were purchased, as grandfathered characters no longer have to buy the packs — but still have to pay for the item unlocks. (New characters, however, require the unlocks.) The gold subscription is still a valid option to avoid having to worry about all these, as the (very frequent) popups are quick to remind you. | |

Eventually, entirely for the sake of money, the developers created the Freeblood Vampire race. A race of vampires who used to be Humans and Elves that were abducted for vampire experiments. They managed to retain some of their free will, as well as proved that sunlight didn't affect them. They escaped and started living in the cities across Norrath. | |

With Kerafyrm's threat level reduced, however, Lanys Ty'Val has taken his place as the driving force behind the Big Bads. | |

Floating Continent: EQ2 looovvess this trope. The entire Kingdom of Sky expansion pack took place on floating islands. Part of the Swamp of Innothule, although technically not floating, was so high off the ground it could only be accessed by airship. In the Sentinel's Fate expansion, the entire continent of Odus is floating because it's now located in an alternate dimension entirely. | |

On the flipside though, in terms of both the story and player economy, Silver clusters are extremely valuable. They're a high level rare harvest that players will pay a lot of platinum for, and some NPC's give quests that require them as various components for whatever they're doing. You'd think that someone on Norrath would just get the idea to smelt down all the commonly found silver coins and just use that instead. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: EQ2's vampires seem to be rather similar to dark elves, and there are groups of vampires living openly in the dark elf city of Neriak. The game skirts around the issue of whether sunlight actually harms them or not. One instance in The Shadow Odyssey expansion requires adventurers to "become" vampires themselves, and fight a boss where natural sunlight is occasionally exposed to the area, and it's lethal to players. Eventually, entirely for the sake of money, the developers created the Freeblood Vampire race. A race of vampires who used to be Humans and Elves that were abducted for vampire experiments. They managed to retain some of their free will, as well as proved that sunlight didn't affect them. They escaped and started living in the cities across Norrath. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: In terms of the lore and history behind the world of Norrath, things are split up into two categories. First is that anything actually found inside EverQuest, EverQuest 2 (up to a certain point in time for its own storyline with EverQuest), and EverQuest Online Adventures is official canon to the games. There's also the tabletop Pen & Paper versions of the games, which have much more detailed stories and lore, but aren't considered canon unless it's also covered in the game. EQ2 came out during a relatively brief window of time when the Frogloks had taken over Grobb (hometown of the trolls) and renamed it Gukta. In the original EverQuest, the Trolls would eventually retake their home town a few years later, but this never happened in EQ2's timeline, so the Trolls getting kicked out is official canon to EQ2. Gukta itself was destroyed in the 2nd Rallosian War. That doesn't explain why Grobb is suddenly back in the Moors of Ykesha though. Seriously, no lore at all explaining when, how, or why it was re-founded. When EQ2 first came out, the continent of Faydwer was said very unambiguously to have been destroyed. Then it turned up just fine in the Faydwer expansion. How evil Rallos Zek is has varied from time to time. At his best he's been an "a shade below Neutral" type evil who abhorred Innoruuk, Cazic Thule and Bertoxxulus and respected the Marr twins. At his worst, he's more of a "kill everyone until everyone wants to kill everyone" type. | |

As Himself: Professional baseball player Curt Schilling is a huge fan of EverQuest and MMO's in general. During an EverQuest 2 charity event, SOE created a character designed off of Curt himself using an anagram he created named Clint Gilcrush. Curt lent his voice to the dialogue of this character for the sake of the charity. Since then, Clint Gilcrush has been a permanent part of the game. He's secretly a triple-agent for both Qeynos and Freeport during the Betrayal questline, and the player is tasked with taking a bounty out on his head. | |

On the story side, the residents of Norrath themselves rarely ever make any mention or claim that gold is valuable. Goblins love the stuff, but that's mainly because it's shiny.

World Sundering: Magic has been involved in quite a lot of the physical changes that Norrath has undergone over the last 500 years. The Rending itself was basically a series of magic-induced earthquakes that managed to affect even the planar realms of the Gods themselves, as the Shard of Fear details. Over on Velious, the Dragons went to great lengths to cause The Upheaval, which literally split Velious in half, separating the western half where the Dragons live by a gigantic impassible rock wall that sprang up a few thousand feet into the air. | |

Our Elves Are Better: Played straight with the haughty High Elves and the evil Dark Elves. Wood Elves are more easier going than other elven races. EQ2's subversion is the Half Elves, who are known best for being obsessed with hair dye and piercings, and other means of standing out from the normal standards of society. Not having a culture to begin with (being stuck between Humans and Wood Elves), they created their own from the ground up. They've developed an rebellious outcast mentality towards most forms of authority, and visually reflect that with skin piercings and wild hair. So basically a race of disaffected teenagers. The between-expansion packs content release LU60 gave us the War Elves. Huge, muscular, grey skinned, red tattooed, immortal warriors. The lore goes that Rallos Zek was given some of the first Dark Elves by Innoruuk in exchange for not wiping out the rest of them. Rallos planned to use them as sacrificial peons, but his sons Vallon and Tallon Zek held the War Elves back when Rallos' legions attacked the Plane of Earth so that they weren't hit with the Rathe's Curse. Both subverted and played straight by the Renda'Dal, or "New Elf". Subverted in that, after taking huge losses after the War of the Fay, the inhabitants of the High Elven city of Felwithe decided that the best way to ensure racial survival was to inbreed and intentionally decrease their natural lifespan from 800 or so years to around 70, in order to ensure they reproduced more often. Played straight in that they're still exceptionally arrogant, but also maliciously xenophobic, attacking anyone, even other High Elves, who enter the city. Of course, they're also being manipulated by Mayong Mistmoore. | |

Big Boo's Haunt | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_bda2d236 | comment |
Big Boo's Haunt: Fewer than in EQ1, but EQ2 had Ruins of Varsoon in the original, Desert of Flames had the Silent City and related instances, Kingdom of Sky had the Blackscale Sepulchral, Echoes of Faydwer had Castle Mistmoore and the Loping Planes... Unrest in EQ2 is much scarier than the first envisioning. The zone is strongly story-driven. You're being watched and commented on by the Big Bad of the end zone as you discover the cause of the curse that rests upon the estate and how he brutally slaughtered the innocent family that lived there. Just before you fight him, he actually realizes that you are a player behind a computer monitor, and tries to "jump" out of the screen at you when he pulls an Interface Screw on you before you approach him. | |

Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu? | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_bda3d68a | comment |
Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Mayong Mistmoore is the single most powerful vampire on Norrath, and is someone to be respected and feared with his knowledge of magics and his collection of artifacts. He once ascended to a god, but decided to give that up and go back to ruling his thralls on Norrath. He shows up now and then throughout the Age's End storyline. Near the end of the storyline, you must sneak into his castle to obtain an artifact. He is tipped off to your presence when you trip a magically locked door, and decides to use his magic to enthrall you and make you his servant. You initially play along before telling him that his powers are nothing compared to your numerous adventures of literally slaying gods, dragons, otherworldly nightmares and many other threats. He swears he'll get you back for humiliating him like that, and you wish him good luck in trying. | |

EverQuest II / Videogame / int_bf1255fa | comment |
Really Gets Around: In The Sinking Sands, there's a minor boss - a high elf pirate named Lady Samiel. The southern islands in the zone absolutely teem with various kinds of "Samiel" half-elves (e.g. a Samiel pirate, a Samiel marauder, etc...). It's implied that all these dozens-if-not-hundreds of half-elves are her offspring. | |

One-Woman Wail | |

One-Woman Wail: The music of Obol Plains mainly consists of this to help exemplify the fact that you inhabit Norrath's version of purgatory— a land where souls must remain until their chosen god finally takes them to the afterlife. Inside Harrow's End, a zone inside Obol Plains, is Melanie Everling, a woman who is now eternally bound to Drinal's servitude because she tried to break a contract with him. She lures adventurers to her chambers with a hauntingly enchanted wail as you fight through enemies along the way. | |

Difficulty Spike | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_c6ae4c86 | comment |
Difficulty Spike: It's actually quite easy to solo your way all the way up to max level. In fact, the developers changed the game to intend for this. You will then be lacking knowledge on how to work as part of a group. You will also probably be undergeared, as all the better weapons and armor are obtained from "heroic" quests and boss mobs, both of which require groups to conquer. Will happen to you again if you decide to go from being a casual player to a raid player. Raid quality gear mostly only drops in raid zones. Also noticeable within dungeons themselves. For example, in the raid dungeon Perah'Celsis' Abominable Laboratory, there's a large jump in difficulty between Vernox the Insatiable, who is a "tank'n'spank" mob with a few tricks to watch out for, and Sara Greenheart, who spawns adds, bounces you all over the room with area-of-effect attacks, and power drains. | |

Shout-Out | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In Windstalker Village in Antonica, you can find three human males named Dolph, Kearney, and Jimbo sparing with each other. The Nights of the Dead quest "Survive the Night" is this towards Plants vs. Zombies. You can move around some plant creatures that will help damage the approaching waves of zombies. There's even a note on the porch of one of the houses that politely states the zombies are coming to eat them. Some Burynai enemies can fire a Hadouken. There's a zombie butler in the Tower of Frozen Shadow named Romero. In Steamfont Mountains, you'll find two gnomes named Emory and Oglethorpe who are working on a clockwork spider. The spider eventually goes out of control, requiring you to wrangle it in, and eventually finds itself in a programming feedback loop. | |

Qeynos and Freeport were eventually removed as a starting location for new players, but were later added back in. Old players are now able to even travel back to Queen's Colony or the Overlord's Outpost if they want to relive the memories and quests.

Anti-Frustration Features | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The game has evolved over the years with quality of life improvements. At the start of the game, the story dictated that everyone was an amnesiac refugee pulled out of the rough waters and taken to the Isle of Refuge to learn anew. You picked your basic archetype (fighter, mage, priest, scout), learned how to play, and chose your faction of being good or evil when you left the island. From there, you would pick a class at level 10, and your final subclass at level 20. Heroic encounters were found all over the overworld areas like Antonica right outside of Qeynos, and getting anywhere by soloing was pretty difficult for it. The game eventually changed to let you pick your final subclass at character creation, and most of the heroic encounters in the overworld were revamped into solo content to help players. The Betrayal quest was a pretty significant decision. The player could betray their city and move to the other. This could only be done once, and required players to manually pack their belongings and travel to the other city, with no readily available access to banks, brokers, or other amenities. The quest was eventually revamped to give a temporary settlement that they could store items and continue advancing tradeskills and such before they made the final move. The addition of newer starting cities of Kelethin, Neriak, Gorowyn, and New Halas lead to more streamlined quest lines that settles new players into the game, including objectively better equipment than what players earned when they started on the Isles of Refuge. Qeynos and Freeport were eventually removed as a starting location for new players, but were later added back in. Old players are now able to even travel back to Queen's Colony or the Overlord's Outpost if they want to relive the memories and quests. This is lampshaded with the presence of an orc skeleton NPC with long flowing hair, rocking out and screaming "WOOO NOSTALGIA!" Any NPC needed for a quest will have a small feather listed next to their name, or if you need to specifically use an item on one, a bag icon. Quest icons are color coded into yellow for the majority of one-and-done quests, Blue for repeatable quests, and green for tutorial progression quests specifically designed to help players advance. | |

Impossible Item Drop | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_db4170fc | comment |
Impossible Item Drop: The monsters in this game can run the gambit from incredibly tiny (such as the Brownies, who only stand a couple inches off the ground,) to absolutely gigantic (like Tarinax in Deathtoll). Since nearly all loot drops in the form of treasure chests, killing tiny monsters can result in a gigantic Master Chest spawning and completely crushing the corpse. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: These have a habit of showing up. For example, Kyle Antihilus Bayle and El'Arad were both mentioned in the Kingdom of Sky expac. El'Arad showed up in person as a midlevel villain in Sentinel's Fate, four expansions later. Kyle showed back up as of LU64, trying to usurp the throne of Qeynos from Antonia Bayle. A recent example - in the Sentinel's Fate era Roehn Theer raid boss fight (which a small minority of players will ever see), there are four runes with the names of former Gods that were killed by Theer. Those dead Gods became plot relevant in the Terrors of Thalumbra expansion. | |

From Nobody to Nightmare: Originally, Lucan D'Lere was just a paladin in the Order of Marr. Before EQ1 took place, he split from the Order and founded the Freeport Militia. Five hundred years later in EQ2 he's the unquestioned ruler and tyrant of Freeport. To this day, only Lucan's most trusted adviser, a dark elf named Tayil N'Velex, knows that he is actually an immortal Lich, but even she doesn't know where he keeps the phylactery that contains his soul. | |

'Hail' itself is an artifact dating all the way back to the late 90s when EQ1 was a roleplaying-expected game. The word itself is an antiquated way of opening a dialogue with someone else, just as "Hello" is today. While it's been phased out from modern language for the most part, 'hail' is way too ingrained in Everquest culture to be removed or changed. This was even lampshaded by an NPC in Nettleville Hovel. When you hailed her, her first reaction was that she wasn't expecting any weather today. | |

Expy: Kerrans to the Vah Shir, sort of. Kerrans existed in EQ1, but not as a playable race. The Vah Shir race went extinct when Luclin was destroyed, but Kerrans were made playable to console Vah Shir fans. Official lore states that the Vah Shir adventurers who were trapped on Norrath when teleportation was cut off from Luclin all decided to live with the Kerra tribe and mate with them. The Kerra we see 500 years later are the genetic result of the Vah Shir and Kerra. Real life holidays are celebrated in game, but they all have different names. Christmas is Frostfell, Valentine's Day is Erollisi Day, St. Patrick's Day is Brew Day, April Fools Day is Bristlebane Day, and Halloween is Nights of the Dead. | |

Born from Plants: The Fae are born from a special flower in a nursery not far off from the city of Kelethin. The race's affinity to nature means that whenever they pass away from natural causes or old age, their spirit is deposited into the flowers where a new Fae is born in a cycle of reincarnation. The Dark Elves of Neriak managed to steal away some of those flowers and used magic to corrupt them, leading to the creation of the evil Arasai race. | |

Phlebotinum Overload | |
EverQuest II / Videogame / int_f672a508 | comment |
Phlebotinum Overload: Kerafyrm had the Power of the Nameless. However, the power was meant only for Roehn Theer, and Theer needed his swords Enoxus and Aeteok to properly channel it. Kerafyrm had neither of the swords, his reasoning being that he now has the power, and the swords are just mundane vessels to store it, so he didn't need them. Theer believed that if Kerafyrm tried to use this power, it would "hasten the cataclysm foretold in the Age's End Prophecy" by literally unmaking the world. On top of that, Rallos Zek, the God of War himself, was after the power as well to become the "True King", a kind of "God of Gods" to plunge the entire universe into war. Even if he did kill Kerafyrm, there was a chance killing the Prismatic Dragon would have ended the universe as well. He ended up getting himself killed instead, though. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: There aren't any anymore, but there were back in the days when Raid Progression was a thing that existed. From Kingdom of Sky through The Shadow Odyssey, the game usually had a raid dungeon that you couldn't even enter if you hadn't beaten all the other raid dungeons. | |

The Dog Bites Back: Rallos Zek imprisoned Vallon Zek, God of Strategy, Tallon Zek, God of Tactics, and Sullon Zek, Demi-Goddess of Rage, in his fortress with the intentions of killing them and taking their powers in order to fight Kerafyrm. While Tallon and Vallon initially didn't know what was happening, imprisoning the God of Rage only enraged her more... Thanks to the help from the adventurers, the three of them kill Rallos Zek, and all three gods decide to govern in his stead as a triumvirate of war known as the Hounds of Zek. | |
