It really feels like just yesterday that I was at Dragon Con! It was there that I reestablished communications with SOE again and, because of their kind treatment, resubscribed to EQ2. That one chance encounter lead to a good portion of a guild returning. This marks Iniquity’s one year anniversary back! That just shows you how important community managers really are! This year I am going far more prepared than the last! I’ll be meeting a lot of friends and people I’ve met over the years while I’m there. It is exciting! Continue reading

Iniquity continues to make progress in EverQuest II! We’re clearing our raids in less time than ever and trying new content each week. We’ve had some exceptional talent join us recently and we’re looking to fill out our last few roster slots before we close the doors. We will always take a player with a great personality of any class but today I’m calling out to the mystics, warlocks and coercers of the world. We’re growing up quick and this is a good time to get in before the Velious train! Start a new expansion with a great guild that might fit your play-style.
EverQuest II Extended went live this past week and that has given a lot of writers something to think about. Freemium is the talk of the town and it is reaching out from the niche market and into the mainstream. It is changing how we think about MMORPGs and really starting to show signs of growing pains. Everyone claims that the subscription is dead but that isn’t exactly fair. Freemium is the newest kid on the block and we haven’t seen how it will play out yet. Next year freemium might be on its way out.
I’ve been reading a lot lately that has me concerned that players and developers have lost their way when it comes to plate healers. Nobody seems to understand the tradition they represent and what exactly they do. This particular condition is game agnostic so this won’t be an article focused on any one class. It applies equally to anyone that wears plate and calls themselves a healer. It is time we get this niche back on track and working the way it was envisioned such a long time ago!
I’ve been talking a lot about Iniquity lately because of how proud I am of our progress. This week we hit a new high by clearing Tox’s Mound with 14 people on an off night (and remember, we’re not even in full T1)! Our progress in Labs and Palace continues but we are still lacking a few key roles that would really push us over the edge. Each skilled player that we bring in propels us further along and we need to keep that momentum going. One of the biggest assets that we could bring into the guild right now would be a full time dirge. Here is what we have to offer!
