<P>Just finished the 100 soul quest and the only reward is a dagger house item. A Phantasm came out of the portal after turning the quest in so maybe after a bunch of people turn it in something will happen. No other quests were given from that npc.</P> <P>I'm thinking this is just a teaser for now and the real deal will go live when EoF comes out, or there is another quest line that I have not found.</P>

[Lader]

<DIV>i doubt the god is inside waiting to be slaughtered by 24 people...i can see a raid zone, or a group zone, but i just dont see it being the way eq1 was with killable gods.</DIV>

[The-Fourm-Pirate]

<DIV>I bet they'll pull a nagafen on the gods and make them invincible, they took enough of a beating in EQ1 <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</DIV>

[Keno]

maybe i am wrong, not native english speaker, but as i see it the patchnotes do not indicate anything about a zone behind the portal (there may be one coming though, but the notes don't say so imho) the notes are only refering to what is in the cave as the portal is not even mentioned in this sentence. <div></div>

[thorvang]

ancient cave ... terrors within.where is the part with "terrors behind the portal"?

[Keno]

after years of getting killed over and over again venekor vanished from ct and excavated the long forgotten entrance to the halls of the seeing. even the bravest adventurers will cry about weird loots when fighting the beasts within. you don't really think about fighting the beasts within a portal in hos, right? you don't because the text doesn't say anything about a portal, exactly like the one in the notes. the second sentence is referring to the object of the first sentence, a pretty common gramatical structure.

[Ixnay]

Come on, does anyone actually believe they are going to release just a zone portal, without the zone, in a Game Update?

[hanfr]

<DIV>Looks like it's the same with the spire event. We had to wait a couple of days to get to KoS. Now we just have to wait until November. Sounds fair <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

[Burnout]

there will be a zone, but with no word it's said that it will come with LU26. just to give you an example of gates without function - in nectulos forest is a gate, guarded by a flame elemental, since eq2 release and still without function....<div></div>

    Also, the fear gate as it appears there, was always sitting in the Meeting of the Minds instance in Feerrott, was a cove with a small island on it, also the same instance used for Deception. The gate was there, just dormant.<div></div>

<div></div>We didn't intend to imply that Norrathians would be allowed access to the Plane of Fear in this update. I understand that many of you want to go to this notorious realm, but the gods seem to remain steadfast in keeping mere mortals out of the planes. The intention of the update notes was to talk about the cave in the Feerrott, not to say that the Plane of Fear was coming.Sorry for the confusion that the note caused. The new update note will read "Even the bravest adventurer may gasp when setting eyes upon the terrors within this long-lost cavern."The short version: There is no Plane of Fear in this update.<div></div>

[Saroc_Luclin]

<div></div>Important words there: "In this update" hehehe.In EQII, I'm mainly a soloer and a light grouper, but IMO, if any zone deserves to be a raid zone full of dangers and risk, it should be the Plane of Fear. It is the classic Original EQ Raid zone (Along with PoHate, though that was later turned into a group zone, still one of the best zones in game, but I digress....), and it would be fitting that it remains a zone that inspires Fear and Terror and Dread in the EQII people as much as it did the EQLive people. Were the unwary, unprepared, unaccompagnied traveller can stumble into it if they dare... but they are unlikely to stumble out unscathed, let alone with any rewards.Leave the quest planes/soloer planes/grouping planes to ones like Sky, Mischief, Growth, Knowledge and Tranquility; but Fear should always be a hard core raid zone IMO. Making Fear into a soloer/grouping plane, would be like making Naggy into a solo three down arrow L15 mob, or turning Fippy into a ^^^ x4 L80 epic. It would be too jarring against EQ's history (EQLive and EQII's) to make sense and feel right.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Saroc_Luclin on <span class=date_text>07-31-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:46 PM</span>

Can we at least farm Cyndreela in front of the gate?

I hope this is another zone where a bunch of casual peons build a gate then a raid mob spawns and the 'uberguilds' swarm in getting titles and 24fabled items while the peons get nothing. Oh, and I hope the zone is a very very difficult contested progressive raid zone. <div></div>

<DIV>in my opinion, not that it matters..  THink about how they are implementing the belief system .  It would make mroe sense to me if this is a PoK type of zone.. lots of quests for the followeres of CT.  No killable mobs at all.. seriously the gods were POed that the mortals were entering the planes and killing thier avatars , I dont think they would allow it to happen again.  I do not see killable gods anytime soon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think as I said it will be a questing place.. only the followers of CT may enter then they can have audiences with the prophets or whatever get quests and rewards and possibly crafing stations where they can make orimbue(since they are adding that) thier equipment with special things for worshiping CT.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But then again I could be way off and it could be a raid zone lol.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But I do have fond memories of when fear didnt have a minimum level requirement to enter.. lol lvl 10 ogre warrior in fear .. didnt last long but I followed some higher lvls in there. </DIV>

Better that you all are disappointed now and not after doing the quest:Cazic is not yet ready to allow mortals into his plane.  If you look at what Danak's quest text says, he says you are restoring the portal to allow minions of Fear out, not to gain access.  This is a prelude event for EoF and not the introduction of a new zone.<div></div>

All I ask if pof gets released is that it better rain blood. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

Someone else might have said this as I didnt read everything but why add another entrance to fear when you already have one inside MOTM? You know the little island where the robot and eye are sitting. When you approach it doesnt it say portal or fear or something along those lines?

[Keno]

because the portal is not there for pof access but the introduction of the gods return with eof, fluff which would be more than pointless in a t5 instance. <div></div>

Don't forget too, that on top of the Portal in the caves that players used, lore wise, there was always supposed to be a portal to Fear (unuseable by PC's, but used by the creatures of Fear) in Cazic Thule. When Cazic Thule was upgraded years ago, that was part of the storyline explanation; that more creatures came out of that portal to protect it and better defend the temple from adventurers. I guess Cazic focused his troups on the front door, and never clued in that his invaders were coming in throuhg the side window all  this time. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />The portal discovered could be either of the two known portals. (Note that I don't think you could ever actually 'see' the portal in Cazic Thule but it was said to be there)<div></div>
