Our dedicated team of Customer Service & Development staff will not only be providing in-game support to our Legends players, but also running new quests and adventures for players of all levels to participate in.

Some of these Legendary items will even be named after the first player who discovers them.

Calendar of Events
This web-based calendar will be kept up to date by the Legends Team, and will let you know who, when, where, and what is going on server-wide.

Interactive Maps
Quickly find which zone your character is bound in, and which zones you have or haven’t visited.

Now, I haven’t played EQ for a couple years now, but isn’t the game supposed to be offering many of these things already for the basic $9.89/month?
