Neriak comes to the live servers on Wednesday the 23rd, with Game Update #35! Due to the fact that this update includes a large amount of new data for download, the data for Neriak and Darklight Wood has been reserved as optional content. All players are capable of downloading and exploring these new zones and to do so you will need to change your Preferences in the EQII Launcher.
To do so select 'Preferences' from the list of buttons on the left side of the game launcher, and then ensure that the box for 'Additional Live Game Content' is checked.
Note that the Arasai race will also be available for players who have the Echoes of Faydwer expansion. You do not need EoF to play in Darklight Wood and Neriak, just to create an Arasai. The EQII team hopes you enjoy adventuring in the new starting zones!
