EverQuest II (EQII) has a new race of bloodsuckers coming this winter. A recent post to the EQII website reveals new details about the Freeblood vampire race that will be available to players that qualify for the recently announced Velious Winter Rewards. If you don't qualify or just don't want to wait for your very own vampire, the race will also be available on the Station Marketplace later this December. Check out the lore of the mysterious Freeblood vampires in SOE's latest reveal.

Recently, adventurers were given an invitation to travel to the village of Somborn in the Loping Plains.  Many thought the invitation to be in the spirit of the holiday - the Loping Pains was, after all, a frightening place in and of itself, and not somewhere to be traveled lightly.  Others, however, found the invitation intriguing, and left to pay the mysterious host a visit.
