Josgar · 03-16-2007, 07:52 PM

Game update: Josgar We here at SOE believe that Josgar is the best High Elf, and we decided to use his ideas to change Norrath, so we named this update after him. Overall updates: Rejoice, Josgar has blown up New Tunaria and has rebuilt Felwithe in its old place! Josgar has comissioned builders to build houses in villages! Some old towns have been discovered! A new holiday centered around Josgar has been put in! DAOC RVR styled PVP *insert some common bug fixes here* Felwithe/ New Tunaria

Felwithe has been put in place of New Tunaria, however the New Tunarians were VERY sneaky and teleported the whole city away before it blew up. It now lies inside the Plane of Growth which can be accessed through a new druid portal spell OR through a rift that has opened up in Greater Faydark.
Felwithe's layout is the exact same layout as it was 500 years ago with the following changes:

North Felwithe and South Felwithe have been combined into one zone! And the North and South districts will have their names appropriately named so North is North and South is South!
More tunnels have been added throughout it!
Only High Elves may start here, but any good aligned people can come in here
The city has also expanded, and will be larger than the EQ1 version, but it will be an addition to what was already there, so some places will have the same old layout, but there will be new districts

Housing

Housing has been added to: The village on the Island of Mara, Windstalker Village, the Cross roads, Felwithe, docks of each island from EQ2 Classic, Thundermist village, some kind of village in Nektulos forest, Rivervale (which will be a nice city to those who wnat to move there by the time this update would go out), the splitpaw city place where you do the quests for the gnolls, Halas, Gnomeland Security, Fort Irontoe, and many many more!
The NHC (NAtional Housing Commissoners) have added floor and painting options to Kelethin and have added houses with porches to Kelethin!
Each village that gets housing, will have mostly 1 and 2 room housing and maybe a 4 room house. Cities that were starting cities in EQ1 will definatle have houses up to 5 rooms big!!
Many items sitting around in the world have been converted into house items.
More armor and weapons can be mounted on your wall of your house
Books can be placed on book shelves.

Rediscoveries: Halas, Neriak, and a few others Felwithian Independence from Maygong Mistmoore

After being liberated, the Erudites cast spells on the New Tunarians willing to go back to old ways to convert them back into High Elves
Statues of Josgar have been added to Felwithe
Coyote Sharptongue will also have a Statue here to remember how he saved the Fae
During the Week of the FIFMM Celebration, any High Elf can move into Felwithe again more easily than they could normally.
The closest find to the Thex line will be crowned during the first celebration of this holiday!
Fironia Vie will make her return! (and she might have a bigger role than Lois Lane does on Superman, NAH she will be kidnapped some more)
All High Elves will obtain a new racial ability!
Felwithe Aria Music boxes will be given out!
A book telling how Josgar saved Felwithe will be mailed to everyone!
Pictures of Josgar and Statues will be new house items!
even more things will happen detailing how Josgar saved everyone!

DAOC styled RVR battle grounds are being added!

There will be three teams: Freeport Alligned, Qeynos Alligned, and a freelance Alligned based out of Haven
The new battle ground will be an island bigger than Karan (the island qeynos is on) and smaller than twice the size of that.
You will only be able to fight in that area. Castles will be spread throughout this area to seige. By controlling certain amounts of castles, you will get special exp rates/ hp/mana bonuses
Catapults can be used to seige these.
There will be three outposts here that cannot be taken over, and will be safe havens for those fighting.
The only way to get here is by boat.
This Island may be familiar to those who have played EQ1, and we will let you guess what area this use to be.

Insert stuff about class balancing blablabla! SMILEY
