A Video Tour of New Tunaria #EQ2 #EverQuest2

Everyone has their favorite ‘spot’ in a game. Whether it’s that house you spent hours decorating, that raid zone that you just can’t get enough of, or some other magical area that only you seem to know about. In every game I’ve played I’ve always managed to find a location or two that just seems to draw me in for whatever reason, and of course EQ2 is no different. Today I wanted to post about one of my favorite locations, New Tunaria (also called Felwithe). The zone released with Echoes of Faydwer and is located off of Greater Faydark. There are 6 quests located within the zone:

It is meant for players 55-70 and my coercers have spent many hours charming the vampires that roam at night and using them to defeat the elves. I even made a video about it which you can find on youtube on my channel (along with the rest of my gaming videos). What makes this zone so special to me? I’m not exactly sure. I’ve done some fantastic role playing with friends here which may be one of the major reasons. The art style really appeals to me, even if it does look slightly out of step with the rest of EverQuest 2. The music and tranquility of the zone, the peacefulness. It all speaks to me on a very personal level. Should I be surprised? No, not really.

If you’d like to see a video tour of a specific EQ2 zone, then don’t hesitate to let me know! As soon as I get my voice back I’ll start adding commentary to them as I film, for now you’ll just have to make due with the beautiful in-game music.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
