Dunno if you guys frequent on the Expansion boards but..
Sony has control of riseofkunark.com today, and someone pulled an interesting file from their japenese folders .. seen here on EQII forums:

http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/p...opic_id=360458

Basically, sarnak might be a new race in ROK? And level cap increase? Anyone fluent in japenese?

edit: heres that photo from that japenese blog



whois on riseofkunark.com : http://whois.domaintools.com/riseofkunark.com


Hopefully Sony announces something soon on Rise of Kunark, since they've acquired the domain now.

Thats exactly what I thought, it looks almost too revealing to be realistic. However, I wouldn't be surprised at a level cap increase but the sarnak race seems a bit .. yeah. I'm guessing since Sony has their riseofkunark.com domain that we'll atleast hear an announcement on the expansion soon, of course ... we're still just two chapters into the prior expansion's questline. Reminds me of a few prior expansions - see: class hats, KOS and tier 6 carpenter recipes, DOF.

If it isn't fake, that is going to need to be one very large expansion.

I was hoping for a level cap increase and plenty of high level zones. From that, it looks like we'll be getting another EoF. I'm really hoping it's fake.

If they do raise the level cap, how do you think they'll handle the diety lines? Will the avatars stay the same level?

I'd fucking hate to see a 10 level raise, maybe 5, but definitley not 10.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking .. if they release sarnaks with ROK - why did they just release the Arasai on test? I assumed those were inputted for the Faes, and to allow ROK to be high-level. Who knows, we'll find out soon enough. If they push the sarnak into another currently used town, or perhaps input a town like Neriak with one newbie area .. I guess thats okay since it would just be two zones, and they've had plenty of time to work on it all.

If they do add yet another race I really hope they do something to give more character slots without the stupid Station Access thing. Its a slap in the face to everyone who used their 6 slots for 2 years and cant get a break to use any of this new shit they keep on adding in.
