EverQuest II: Clue to the next expansion on OGaming (During Fan Faire SOE dropped this image as a BIG clue to the next expansion.)

During Fan Faire SOE dropped this image as a BIG clue to the next expansion. Let's see how well we can think outside the box.

Eventually we deciphered the symbols as a pictograph, substituting them, for letters we decoded the symbols to mean 'The Future of Everquest II'. But that's not all. I was told there was more to it, and we should look 'at the notches' (you can't see too well, but some of the letters have little marks on them). Well, a group of players at the summit managed to piece it together, and counting the number of notches on each symbol, and replacing that number with the equivilent letter of the alphabet, led to a shocking message. It read:

The Fae are coming winter 2006

To add to that, doesn't that main symbol look a LOT like the pictograph of a certain god of hate who had friends in a certain Castle of Mistmoore? Faydwer, anyone?

EQ2 evocates sense of wonder on The Cesspit (http://www.cesspit.net/drupal/node/1296)

I believe that these ties between the classic EQ and EQ2 have a great potential and shouldn't be seen as interesting only for those former players. In the classic EQ I never went past level 20 so I'm a total noob to this world. But I'm interested to know more about the lore and I can definitely share the hype when things from past are evocated. It's the charm of the discovery of a complex world with its own consistence and the desire to be part of it. This is a big resource for the game that can involve and appeal ALL players. The old players because the game recuperates and valorizes their knowledge and experience, making them feel to "belong" to this world, while for the new players it becomes a greater context, a complex world to slowly discover step by step.

Early guesses include: Symbol of Veeshan surrounded by that of the Gods symbols.

The text is Wood Elf it reads: The Future of Everquest 2

--
With the very obviously Neriakish symbol though, really tempted to think they might be rebuilding the old city finally - would fit with the plans you always hear NPC's mumbling about.

--
That symbol wasn't just limited to Neriak. It was a frequent symbol seen in a lot of the original content, mainly in evil parts of cities.

--
The helm symbol is Rallos Zek and the swirly one is Innoruuk, don't remember what the other 3 are.

--
The one in the bottom right is Cazic Thule

--
Just for completeness, the 9 dots represent Tunare. 3 wavy lines represent Prexus I think. And the other one is the dwarf god, can't remember his name though.
