Wayfarers of Veeshan

Is it just me or did they somehow manage to slip an expansion in without anyone hearing a word about it? If you need me I'll be twinking my Froglok.

I've seen a few hints on message boards. Did they really make frogloks a playable race?

As of 8:02AM - at http://www.legacyofykesha.com/

TO BE ANNOUNCED JANUARY 15, 2003

So....I imagine we'll hear something today on what this thing is...

Somebody posted on a druid forum that for a few minutes the Sony online store had the expansion for sale yesterday - and then it was gone. Guess they got ahead of themselves!

Ugh! Now wait just one durn minute! I haven't even mastered PoP yet and now they want to add another expansion?!? Don't they realize that us 3 boxers need some time between expansions? (upgrading 3 accounts can get expensive)

It will be a download only expansion. Supposed to go live Feb 24th.

Offering it for 17.99 if you get before it goes live and 21.99, I believe, after.

Checked the file I saved and yep:

The Legacy of Ykesha. Pre-order The Legacy of Ykesha, a new digital EverQuest extension available by download and online credit card purchase ONLY, at the special price of $17.99 (plus tax, if applicable) for orders received between now and February 24, 2003 (the anticipated live date).

Wow, sounds cool! Wish they'd had the expanded bank capacity BEFORE I got the epic, though - I was switching stuff around right and left to make room for all the foraged items, etc.

The patch message said Frogloks will be playable

EverQuest®: The Legacy of Ykesha™ Extension

Troll clans have long fought amongst themselves for the right to rule their race. With the creation of the Night Keep, the Grobb clan firmly established its dominance over the trolls. The Broken Skull clan was driven from the city and built a stronghold of its own. Years later, in a flood of brutish strength and cunning the trolls of the Broken Skull clan returned, and by their actions forever changed Norrath.

Thus the story is set for EverQuest: The Legacy of Ykesha, the first extension available via download.
