The servers just went down in EQ2 for the implementation of the new expansion, game update, and Free to Play. The game update includes the new improved Freeport, rebuilt by Lucan now that he is back. I guess he likes shiny too. I took my one Freeport character "Milldew Millie" and for the last hour of the old Freeport's life, ran around to take some screen shots. Even though my dislike for Freeport was one of the reasons I played mostly Qeynos characters over the years I wanted to pay my respects since Freeport as it has been is no more. I had over the years snuck some of my goodies into West Freeport to RP in the tavern or do Heritage Quests. I will be heart broken when they redo Qeynos this summer as it's been my home for many many years and it will be so strange having it change. Here's a slide show of the old Freeport.
It was never a pleasant place to live, I admit. I spent most of my time there as an Inquisitor...until I fell in love with the Templar and moved over to Qeynos.
ReplyDeleteBut that was the point. Even in EQ1 it was designed as a rat infested run down version of Detroit. FP was my first city ever in EverQuest 1 in 2000.
Good to see the Overlord is finally taking some of the taxes from the citizens and putting it to good use.
Yeah, I know it was "supposed" to be that way but I like shiny and sparkly and happy... it just wasn't my thang :)
