The EverQuest II team has a new area profile from the forthcoming Game Update 100. This time, Scourge Keep is shown off and is an orc stronghold filled with, you guessed it…orcs!

Daybreak has posted a new developer article about EverQuest 2 Game Update 100, the free-to-play update for members only. In the article, the team reveals a bit of information about The Fabled Zones. The Ruins of Varsoon, including Chamber of Immortality, Temple of Cazic-Thule, and Sanctum of Fear, are all being given the ‘fabled’ treatment for GU100 and are specifically designed for the highest level players.

The EverQuest II site has been updated with a look at the Island of Zek, a new location coming with the members-only Game Update 100.

EQ2Wire has posted a live blog of last week’s Spring Update live stream when several members of the EverQuest 2 team discussed Game Update 100. One of the things the team caught was the reveal that Game Update 100 would require membership to play and to use items.

The next EverQuest II update will give players the opportunity to “heartbind” with another that will grant special buffs for being so entwined. The update will also feature new zones, a new story line, new raids, new collections, and new rewards. GU100 is expected to hit live service on April 18th.

Their messages, unclear by the time they reached the surface, prompt the heroes of Norrath–those who have achieved level 100–to take action and delve into the unknown.
