Editing Live Events 0 You are not logged in. '''Live Events''' are series of quests introduced to celebrate a season, or just to throw a little fun into the game. ==Types of events== ===Yearly events=== Real world holidays such as Christmas and Halloween have counterparts in game, as does the anniversary of the original ''EverQuest'' going live. These events can last for a few days (April Fools/Bristlebane) to over a month (Christmas/Frostfell). Completely run by Sony, they are turned on and off by [[:Category:Live Updates|Live Update]]s so their starting and ending dates vary each year. The events include quests and rewards themed to the lore of the holiday; recent additions include races that, while also a quest, are more of a mini-activity within the game itself. Almost all of the events have recipes for crafters to make holiday items, and a special holiday-themed collection (the EQ anniversary event, Chronoportals, lacks both). All events have holiday-related items that can be purchased, sometimes only with holiday-specific currency. ===Monthly events=== The two monthly events, City Festival and Moonlight Enchantments, run every month. They are activated automatically on set dates at specific times. Each event has collections associated with it, but no recipes for crafters. Items offered for sale can be purchased only with specific currency: [[City Token]]s for City Festival and [[Elemental Token]]s for Moonlight Enchantments. ===Guide events=== {{dab|quests run by [[Guides of the Shattered Lands|guides]]|:Category:Guide Quests}} [[Guides of the Shattered Lands|Guides]] are players who volunteer for role-playing assignments. Their arrival on any server is unplanned by Sony, but can be partially followed on the official forums [https://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?forums/guide-and-player-events.24/ here]. Since a real person is behind the character, however, these are sometimes referred to as live events. They can offer either quests or role-playing opportunities (i.e., round-robin or prewritten story time, joke contests, guide meet-and-greet). Guide quests that are themed to a major holiday will not be offered outside that holiday's ingame observance. ===Player events=== Player events are special events conceived and run by players. They can include help from Sony (special settings or appearances by NPCs) or be run only by players (i.e., weddings, decorating contests and "pay it forward" events). The most ambitious of these events can be advertised in a special section of the official forums [https://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?forums/guide-and-player-events.24/ here]. ==Events timeline== {| border="1" cellspacing="1" width="90%" !width="80"| !Real World Event!!Norrath Event!!Duration (see note) |- |align="center"|[[Image:Heart and Arrow.jpg|50px]]||Valentine's Day||[[Erollisi Day]]||Feb. 10 to Feb. 17 |- |align="center"|[[Image:Icon stein 01 (Common).png|50px]]||St. Patrick's Day||[[Brew Day]]||Week of March 17 |- |align="center"|[[Image:Chronoportal_small.jpg|50px]]||EQ Anniversary||[[Chronoportal Phenomenon]]||March 20 - March 28.
