During my time at SOE Fan Faire, I attended two separate panels that answered the question, “What's coming next for EverQuest?” Both panels focused heavily on the Veil of Alaris expansion that's scheduled to launch in November, as well as some of the other features you can expect to see in-game throughout the year.

While the panels were held on separate days, they basically covered the same content. Keep reading after the jump for an overview of everything we learned at Fan Faire!

Emily "Domino" Taylor, Greg "Rothgar" Spence, Nandy "Zoltaroth" Szots and Paul "Frizznik" Carrico presented Tradeskill and Housing changes to the EQ2 community at Fan Faire.

The Tradeskill and Housing panel opened up with a recap of prestige housing that has been introduced to the game. Everyone was informed that the multitude of prestige home portals currently in South Qeynos and South Freeport will be changed into a single house directory in those cities from which you can choose a housing destination. Two new prestige houses will be introduced to the Marketplace over the next few months: the Felwithe Mansion and the Tenebrous Island Refuge.

During my time at SOE Fan Faire, I had the opportunity to attend a press conference to learn about the upcoming content update to Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures. Senior Producer Todd Carson and Game Designer Justin Dazet were very excited to discuss the Mission on Iceberg Three, an update that launches on July 15 and actually bridges the gap between seasons 3 and 4 of the Clone Wars television show.

SOE Fan Faire came to a close on Saturday night with the grand banquet and costume contest, and we were there to take photos of every costume that crossed the stage. Above you'll see the top winners of the contest, who certainly turned a few heads as they walked through Bally's hotel and casino in Las Vegas.
