And by everyone, I mean literally everyone: from a just-created newbie to a max-level veteran. What is better than being able to earn a pet or five? Everyone being able to earn pets! A huge bonus to this event is the fact that everyone could participate. I know more than one person who heard “pet” and dove immediately into game to participate, some even reinstalling on the spot. No wonder Pokemon is so popular - I gotta get ’em all! Just making the reward for participating a pet is a huge win. And even if I can’t have them all out all the time, I still want to collect every single pet I can. I know I am not the only player with a weakness for having some cute or crazy critter following behind me as I adventure. One thing that elevates Beast’r Eggs above the vorpal bunnies is the fact that was mentioned above: This event gives you pets! That’s right, cosmetic pets. I still speak very fondly of the Monty Python-inspired killer bunny event and enjoy recounting those memories it is quite likely my all-time favorite live event in the MMO-verse. There’s a special feeling to being able to participate in a part of history in a game that can’t be relived. As a (possibly) one-time live event, it drew folks in so they wouldn’t miss out. However, they might: Executive Producer Holly Longdale confirmed on twitter that the event might make a reappearance. And as it is labeled under achievements as a live event, there’s a possibility that Beast’r Eggs will ever return. Being new, there’s a thrill to participating in the event because it hasn’t been done before. I can’t recall or find mention of any Beast’r Eggs in any forms in previous years. The fact that devs came up with something new does make the event exciting and fresh. Once collected, the Beast’r Egg would become a personal pet. They were tucked behind trees, on ledges, in buildings, near named mobs, and everywhere else. What exactly was the event? Five flavors of Beast’r Eggs (Cheeky, Cheery, Lovely, Bumbly, and Frisky) were hidden in Norrath for players to find and collect. Or, looking at it another way, you almost have to wonder how on earth devs can even fit another event into the jam-packed event calendar. Still, you’d think after 12 years and umpteen holidays, folks would run out of new event ideas for players. Not that repeat events are bad some of my very favorite holiday festivals are exactly that. What’s so great about it? I am glad you asked! (Though honestly, I was going to tell you anyway!) Here are the winning elements:įirst off, this event wasn’t a same old, same old rehash. Hopefully, we can see more like this in the future, both here and - if other studios take notice - in other titles. EQII really knocked it out of the park with this Easter-themed event. While the event unfolded as I participated, it struck me how practically perfect the event was. Today’s musing are less a guide and more a love letter to a live event done oh so right. However, that doesn’t mean you’ve totally missed out! And that’s the beauty of this particular live event. It is the quality of the people on that server.and I believe AB is the BEST.Did you participate in EverQuest II’s Beast’r Egg hunt live event this past week? If not, I’m sorry to say you missed your chance it ended a few hours ago at 2:59 a.m. It is not the number of people who make a good server. My original guild is down to very few active players so while continuing to keep it active, I have spread a few of mine to another very active, raid and heroics ready guild to branch out my skills. Have 16 current characters, most who are ROS level. Always some on but the game has pretty much phased out of small groupings unless doing expert dungeons or you happen to be in a guild of like minded and level players. I firmly believe AB has the most helpful, good hearted and dedicated players available. There are many times I see transfer people from other servers because of their population's approach to life and inter actions. It says "role play" always has.but that is totally optional and rarely seen out and about in the world of Norrath itself. I have been with AB server my whole 17 years of EQ2 life (with a 4 year break til about 6 months ago).
