Magazine Offering Exclusive Everquest II Download
In their issue hitting stands the week of November 28th, Massive Online Gamer magazine will be offering a code that can be redeemed for a limited edition Everquest II item—a portrait of warlord Venril Sathir. But for those with ants in their pants, new online subscribers can get the code emailed immediately upon writing that check. Not being Everquest II players, we can't really assess the importance or value of such a downloadable good. But it's a clever marketing strategy on MOG's part. While reading Kotaku, our readers are sometimes gifted with free syphilis, but the promotion hasn't been all that well received.

Everquest's Online Trading Card Game Unveiled
I had a chance, last month, to meet with Sony Online Entertanment's Denver studio and check out their now-announced online trading card game: Legends of Norath: Oathbound.
The Legends of Norrath game is based on the worlds of Everquest and Everquest II and, in an interesting twist, will be playing inside both of the massively multiplayer online games at in-world taverns and such.
Oathbound, the first set in the Legends of Noorath game, has more than 350 virtual cards in it and comes in both 60-card starter decks and 15-card booster packs. The Oathbound set was designed to tell the story of the servants of the Tribunal that rules the Plane of Justice. These masked and hooded servants swear an oath to Justice and must help preserve the balance between Order and Chaos.

First-Ever Fan Faire Wedding
This Saturday two Fan Faire attending will be tying the knot in both the real world and the virtual one.
The wedding ceremony will take place at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino during the annual event's Grand Banquet. The couple, clad in Everquest II costumes, will exchange vows in front of a pastor and inside the game at the same time using two computers perched on the alter.
The whole thing, set to take place on Saturday at 9 p.m., will be broadcast during the Grand Banquet. Here's hoping that at least one of them look like Antonia.

Everquest II Offers Free Fairy Play
Sony Online Entertainment today launches a new Everquest II free trial offer based off the most recent expansion, Echoes of Faydwer. Entitled, "Play the Fae", the trial lasts 7 days and introduces players to the Fae, tiny pixie-like creatures with beautiful, multicolored, leaf-like butterfly wings. I've not played the expansion, but a friend of mine assures me that they make him feel like a pretty fairy princess. I suppose that's good. More »

EverQuest II Implementing PvP
In keeping up with the Joneses, EverQuest II is unveiling its long-awaited Player-versus-Player system for the Sony Online MMORPG. Often thought of primarily as a Player-versus-Environment game, the new changes to EverQuest II bring a ton of changes to the gameplay—too many to just list here, so we've dumped them after the jump. On paper, it looks like SOE is getting some of the PvP stuff right, but the changes won't appear in-game until a February 21 live update. Perhaps most interesting in the EverQuest II PvP ruleset is the loss of experience on player death. A true death penalty. It'll be interesting to see how that works out. More »
