We're about a week away from Velious. Are you guys ready??

I wanted to make a post to let everyone know what to expect. We will be starting a launch event in the evening of that server's day. The event will last for a few hours. Unlike our Kunark launch event, which had a set amount of progress required and various defined steps, the Velious launch will be a consistent event lasting for an undefined amount of time (up to several hours).

Other than that, the event will be similar in many ways to the Kunark event. There will be 5 zones, announced at the beginning of the event, each containing a mini event with battles taking place between two factions. Players can chose to help one side, or both. Event participation will be tracked by faction, which can be gained by assisting either camp with acquiring event specific items off mobs in surrounding zones, or by slaying the combat mobs of either faction. You will not lose faction with the opposing camp by any action, however, so feel free to jump around.

At the end of the event, the higher value of the two factions will be your participation score. When Velious opens, you will be able to take a one time teleportation directly from the event camps into a Velious zone. The destination zone will be determined by which camp you port from. This teleport will initially only be available to those that participated the most in the event, and every several minutes that participation threshold will be lowered to gradually allow more players to teleport from the camps. This system is set up to encourage participation in the event and to take the stress off bottleneck zones like North Ro.

There will also be rare item raffles based on your participation score, so don't miss out! See you guys there.

This sounds awesome. Thank you for all the awesomeness that makes this happen.

Get your Velious Load Screen here - the one in the ZIP file is still Kunark...

It goes in EQ\Resources\loadscreen.jpg

Edit: Of course, it doesn't work if the image is 800x600 - I've changed the URL to be a 640x480 version.

Upgraded to that new Velious-glory.

So excited. Thanks to the staff for all their hardwork.
