SOE did the smart thing and made a mobile app that covers all Everquest Worlds in one app. The app is available for Android and Apple users. I understand why they excluded Windows users, even if it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Carrying on however, I’ve used the app since I have access to an Android device.
It is a very well done app and in one evening sucked me in completely and I drained the phone battery from full to depleted without realizing it. There are news and video feeds for whatever Everquest franchise you play and they are separated out so you don’t have to wade through Landmark video trying to find one that pertains to Everquest.
I watched the first EQ2 Insider yesterday and will watch the second one today. I don’t normally watch dev videos either but it managed to keep my interest over the hour even if it were a month old. The one thing they could do to improve the news/video feed is to put dates on the feed rather than just the newest on top.
The mini-games in the app are addicting. I fully admit I got sucked into Mineral Match and Book of Magic. I won in-game rewards as well, a mount for Everquest and an appearance weapon for EQ2 (pictured below). The EverGuess game kicked my rear and I’m normally good at those games. The EQW Trivia mini-game was the clear winner for me. It proved that my lore-foo is WEAK and needs improving to day the least. I will be improving that over time, especially since I play EQ2 for the tremendous lore and involved storylines.
I’ve barely begun to dig into the app but I can say, well done SOE well done.
