WTF!!!!

Looks to me another failed attempt to make money.

I think I may check this out, just for pure giggles.


I would most likely make a class with the following combo:

Shadow Knight: Why because I deeply enjoy this class.

Wizard: Could you imagine a SK firing off those big nukes, um hello.

Bard: This would just be funny seeing and SK, firing nukes, and singing at the same time.

Plus an Oh Poop Evac....


Come on now. We know you want to see this combo.


I just hope I can wear Plate.

(Dang Spelling)

This will also probably be what I try as well. I just want a dual weilding SK with big spell crit. Hoping to make a WAR/BRD/Wiz?Chanter work in my mind as a way to bring the ol D&D Blade Dancer to life. Definitly worth a look. Cheers//

SK/Brd/Wiz was one of the (somewhat early) meta builds on THJ, but who knows if the same synergies will work on Legends.

There's a lot of speculation but not a lot of info on Legends yet. Chances are it's nothing like THJ, since THJ opened up all the AAs immediately - and made some good changes to AAs, spells, and gear to make it a lot stronger. Who knows what we'll actually see on Legends.

Got the Beta sign up e-mail.

https://www.everquestlegends.com/shop

Basically, $19.99 to buy and then $9.99/month.

Pre-Order gives you Beta access.

From the e-mail:

• Pre-order Beta Access
• Character Name Reservation*
• In-Game Title "the Legend"
• Full access to EverQuest Legends
• 1 month subscription included
• All races, all zones, all the nostalgia

* Name reservations will go live on July 1, 2026. You will be prompted to reserve your character name when logging into the Pre-order Beta. Name reservations will not apply to beta characters, only to characters you create after the game launches on July 28, 2026.


I thought this was interesting in the FAQ.

Will EQL have the same Expansions as EQ Live?

While EQ Legends is set in the world of Norrath, it will evolve separately with its own lore and timeline. While we do intend to release Kunark in the first expansion, EQ Legends will have its own spin on classic zones and will also add never-seen-before content

Yeah, I got that email Wednesday and was kinda offended. I applied for beta but just like old EQ I guess you had to get in the special contests or be one of the "chosen" to be granted free beta. So now they want me to pay? Nope.

I don't see any benefit to beta. Character name reservation matters to some, not to me, I like making new names. Same for the special"title" I think everyone gets full access to the game and races, zones etc so that rules those out. So not seeing what the extra $10 is for.

If I decide to play then the $9.99/month would be sufficient. But I don't think I will play this one.
