from the blog: multiplaying.net/post/57610290682/everquest-worlds-an-eq-mobile-app
I first heard about EverQuest Worlds, (also Google Play) a free-to-play game for mobile devices that provides fans with live quests and mini-games to reveal lore, content, and rewards from the EverQuest franchise, when I was watching the streaming SOE Live 2013 announcement of EQNext. I downloaded it immediately.
EveryQuest Worlds, so far, is not so much a game as it is a marketing scavenger hunt. There were 4 quest lines listed at launch and 2 were only for SOE Live attendants (which I was not, but I think it's cool they had that for the event). The other 2 quest lines were called "A New Beginning" and "Marching Onward". The quest activities included me liking various EQ facebook pages, sharing an EQ2 video on facebook, scanning some logos I simply googled, tweeting about EQ.... you get the idea. I did have to explain to a couple of old EQ friends what I was doing and I'm sure my coworkers who are friended through facebook thought I lost my mind (I do not post anything like that on facebook) but they politely ignored the activity.
At the end I was rewarded with ((SPOILERS)) codes for 250 Station Cash for one and an XP Potion for EQ & EQII for the other. The Station Cash code worked fine, but the XP Potion code gave me an error message when I tried to enter it, but perhaps that is because I do not have my EQ and EQII account(s) *linked with my new EQNext identity.
If I had been at SOE Live, I think those quest lines would have been a bit more enjoyable. My assumption is that the 2 quests lines I did were merely a way to get started and we can look forward to more difficult puzzles and quests in the future. Although there's quite a bit of disappointment that so far we're merely spamming through social media, there is potential here... but I'll probably relink it to my dog's facebook profile before doing any more. That's probably not what they would like, but that's the effect, SOE.
*I have no idea what my old EQ/EQII station information is and it was linked to an old email that is dead and I'm not sure it's important to figure all that out. I did find an old Shadows of Luclin box, but the discs are missing and I have no idea if that was my copy or my husband's... frankly, the thought of getting that all straightened out is exhausting. It's much easier to simply move on with my EQing.
