EverQuest Online Adventures updated today with the continuation of our Plague Plot. Below are the details of the update. We also have a new video promo up for the new dueling feature that you can find at: http://everquestonlineadventures.station.sony.com/movies.jsp (it's the one down at the bottom) 4/10/04 The Plague Plot Thickens! Issues surrounding the Bertoxxulan Pox worsen. Creatures who had contracted the Pox and perished are rising from their shallow graves as undead! The quest for a cure continues, with even more urgency! All new quests and adversaries have been added in the continuation of this series. Fight for the side of good and quest in the pursuit of a cure and to put a stop to this threat once and for all. Evil minded characters have new avenues available to them to turn these events to their advantage and find profit and gain in this time of ruinous turmoil. Items: Ring of understanding is now Mage usable Winds of Ro boots are now Erudite useable Loot from Kappa Guards now stack Quests: Increased drop rate of the quest item on black wolf cubs for Western Human level 13 mage quest. Player vs. Player Corrected an issue that could lead to a player receiving EXP Debt at the close of a very close duel, or dying to a damage over time spell after winning a duel.

Who will be the victor? Who will suffer the ignominy of defeat? Consensual dueling Player versus Player conflict to be added to EverQuest Online Adventures! The questions have been posed for so long. “Who would win a straight up one on one? A would path, backstabbing rogue? The “mana bomb” touting Wizard? Will a Blood path Shadowknight overcome a Lay-on-Hands Guardian Master Class Paladin? Now you can find out as the ability to duel other players is added to EQOA. Also, put your money where your mouth is with the wagering feature. You can place bets on the outcome of your duel, including items. The bet is stored in a safe, auction-like reserve, pending the outcome of the combat. So talk all the smack you like, but when it comes time to put your mettle to the test, don’t bet the farm because you may just lose it! Alex von Minden, Community Relations Manager for EQOA comments on the update, “We are really excited to bring PvP to EQOA. It has been a long standing request of our players and we wanted to make sure it was introduced in manner that wouldn’t disrupt the games existing Player versus Environment balance. Dueling is perfect for that.” Alex further comments on timing of the new feature, “We have everything looking good in our test environment and hope to bring it live during the week of April 5th to the 9th.” Let the battles commence!
“I dunno, personally my money is on the big Troll”

“You may want to duck when the Monk’s Flying Kick comes at you”

“Umm, watch out for Ogres”

Strange rumors of ill omens seem more and more to be on everyone’s lips. Tales flow from tavern to tavern like ripples across a still pond. Druids point to subtle, yet ominous, changes in the wildlife and plants. Guards and Lawmakers comment on feelings of restlessness and unease in the towns and cities they steward. Priests and Spiritual Leaders can see trouble brewing ahead, like a dense fog wrapping a high mountain road in a shroud of dangerous obscurity. Individually, these portents seem nothing more than an average day in the harsh living that is Norrath. However, when considered together it is clear that the winds of change are blowing. While only minor, twisted zephyrs now, the astute can see the gathering gales looming not far out. NOTE: I know what this about, but I have been sworn to secrecy on pain of death by Bordael. :)
