Everquest II Game Update 35: new race, city, and zone for adventurers!

 

Looks like Norrath is getting an upgrade. We just got word that Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) implemented Game Update 35 yesterday, adding a new character, city, and overland zone to the already large landmass of Norrath!

According to their update, players with the Echoes of Faydwer expansion can create a member of the Arasai race. These Arasai are the mischievous, evil counterparts of the Fae race so while the Fae are also shiny rainbows, these guys have goth colors written all over them.

In addition to the Arasai update, all players can now enjoy two new areas. First up is the recently uncovered city of Neriak, also known as the City of Hate. As you can probably guess, it’s going to be one of the main starting areas for the Arasai, but you can also visit the city regardless of your race. More importantly, a new zone has also been put up, called the Darklight Wood. This forest is perfect for new starting characters, so expect newbies to the game as well as newly made Arasai to congregate there.

You can find the rest of the game additions, as well as a slew of new pictures of the new race and starting zones, after the jump!
