While on a valiant quest to help the Aerakyn return to their original thread of reality, adventurers find themselves going back to the brutal island of Ro and to the southern half of the flaming desert. Here, with the help of a local tribe of Hizite nomads, they’ll make their way across the unforgiving Raj’Dur Plateaus to explore what is left of the Elddar Empire's cursed city, the long Buried Takish'Hiz, before finding themselves within the renewed Takish Badlands as they are led into the treacherous Sandstone Delta by the machinations of a notorious foe.
They will come face-to-face with Raj'Dur bandits, cursed Elddar, Dunetooth goblins, the Mhyt-moo school of Yha-lei, the Stormfury and Swordfury cyclops clans, the Ortallian zealots of Ro, and other enemies, not to mention the glorious heroes they will team up with along the way.
Unravel the mystery behind newly discovered magic, hidden within the sand and buried amidst the ancient stone. Come together with other heroes and begin the journey, in search of the clues that lead you on your path to new forms of power.
The Renewal of Ro expansion will launch at noon Pacific today. Are you ready to explore the desert sands?

Frostfell 2022 is currently on the Test server and will be available on other servers after the December 6 patch.
The Renewal of Ro expansion will go live this Wednesday! I cannot do an article for it until the expansion has gone live, but know that I have almost 150 screenshots ready and waiting for me to code them up once I am allowed to post.
This also means that the Renewal of Ro Prelude Event, Secrets of the Sands will be ending with the downtime this Wednesday, November 30, so grab your collectibles while you can! The buyable house items WILL be available, but they will be located out in the expansion zones, so if you will be unable to access those zones, make sure to get your shopping in now!

The Heroes' Festival has a special surprise for us this year, with a free mount for everyone. The only catch is that you must visit a city mount merchant between November 8, 2022 and November 22, 2022. Details on which mount merchants will have this Stomposaurus Thunderstrider are in the linked Heroes' Festival article above. Grab him when you can!

The celebration of the annual EQ2 anniversary, Heroes' Festival 2022 will begin on November 4, 2022.
There is also a HUGE in-game promotional event happening next week, with bonus experience, bonus loot and more. How huge it is will depend on how much Team Darkpaw raises for the Extra Life charity by mid-day on November 7. Check out the incentive details here.

The annual Nights of the Dead is now available for testing on the Test server. It will go live on October 13.
The Renewal of Ro beta begins in a few hours, some time after the server bounce on October 4. (Actual beta start time has not been stated.) Those who pre-order the expansion can find further information on how to access the beta server here. As a couple extra Mum notes on the beta:
- To copy a character over to the beta server you use the /beta command while logged in to your live server character. Make sure to be standing in an overland zone or city when you give the command, and expect that only those items in your bags or in your personal bank will copy over.
- If you have no characters showing up on the beta server, even though you have performed the /beta command, try creating a level 1 character on beta to see if that forces your character selection list to update.
- Copies tend to make it over pretty quickly (a few minutes to an hour), but delays are likely on the first day or two of beta, due to extreme player demand. Patiences is a good thing. 4) Beta forums will be available. Please DO use them, and the /bug command when you find an issue. Reporting something on Discord is NOT a substitute for putting it on the forums where it can be properly tracked.

The new Panda, Panda, Panda 2022 article has been started and will be fleshed out as time goes on. Additionally, the new Producer's Letter for September 2022 has been released that includes the information that the next EverQuest II expansion will be called "Renewal of Ro" and that the beta will begin on October 4, 2022.
Created By: Niami Denmother
The start of the 2022 round of Panda, Panda, Panda has been announced for tomorrow (Tuesday). The annual Gear Up, Level Up pre-expansion event has also been announced, and double loot from the final bosses in solo and heroic dungeons, and from all raid bosses will begin tomorrow. This is traditionally the start of the busiest time of the year for the team, so while there will likely be many more posts over the next couple of months, there will also likely be an increased level of incoherence for 'Mum, especially as the time draws closer for my Extra Life for Kids charity fundraiser on top of all of the expansion and fall event goodness.

Game Update (GU) 120 is releasing in a few hours, and there are a few things of interest crafters and decorators. Below are just some of the patch notes for the estimated 6-hour downtime.
SERVICES
The Overseer Quartermaster has performed a bit of inventory juggling!
- Some tinkering and adorning books from Vetrovia have been added.
- Empyral and Shadowed recipe books volumes 10-16 have been added (and prices slashed on the Empyral/Shadowed books that were already available).
- A set of Ornamental Vacrul Plate armor has been added.
- Season 1 accessories have been removed.
- Season 1 armor and weapons have had their prices slashed.
The three loyalty merchants have added new stock! Visit them in Qeynos and Freeport to check out their new wares.
- The Loyalty Housing Merchant has added "Seeds of Vengeance Reproduction", "Replica Wanted Poster", "Replica Terraporter, Replica: Ilfanul and Replica: Ravinus."
- The Loyalty Merchant has added an Armored Bear Mount.
- The Loyalty Outfitter has added eight new "Unwavering" gear crates containing appearance gear.
TRADESKILLS
- A new tradeskill quest series has been added for level 60 and higher crafters. Players can find Dora Wicket on Whisperwind Isle in the Barren Sky to start the series. This series will open the door to the ability for crafters to purchase their level 60-69 advanced recipe books, as well as an additional reward.
- Duffin Brandywine, lesser-known twin of the famous dockworking hungry halfling Duggin Brandywine, needs some harvesting help out in Vetrovia. Those who have completed the "Were is the Messenger" crafting signature line can find him located in Renfry's Basement, where he will reward your efforts with some Forlorn-themed dishes.
- Elemental fragments (cold, disease, etc) will now fit in your harvest depots.
- Removed the description line from most tradeskill recipes, as many are no longer reflecting the current or correct recipe or crafted item name.
- Distillation and dilution recipes for Chaos Descending and Luclin transmuting materials have been added to guildhall recipe vendors.
