I might do a post on it sometime. The short version is that in EQ Holly Windstalker and Cros Treewind were a ranger and a druid who patrolled Qeynos Hills. If they caught you killing bears or wolves they would attack you and since they were about Level 30 in a zone meant mainly for levels five to fifteen they would usually kill you. They were very, very unpopular with everyone except players who played druids and rangers, who tended to cheer them on. There was a lot of improv. theater in EQ in those days.<br /><br />In EQ2, it being set 500 years later, Holly is long dead (Cros died way, way back in an event) but her ghost still walks and, I think (but i'm not sure) still doesn't take kindly to people killing bears.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34407176665228890702020-03-09T12:59:47.372+00:002020-03-09T12:59:47.372+00:00This really came out of nowhere considering how mu...This really came out of nowhere considering how much of an ambassador she's been for the franchise, especially recently.<br /><br />You never said what she did with those bears though.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-53859873522513112282020-03-08T15:59:35.412+00:002020-03-08T15:59:35.412+00:00It very much makes me think it wasn't planned....It very much makes me think it wasn't planned. Either something happened and Holly decided she wanted no part of it or she did genuinely get an exciting job offer she couldn't turn down. Either way, the reason should make itself clear in time. I guess our only real concern, other than satisfying curiosity, is the future of the games and I do think both the franchise and the games themselves, aging though they are, represent value for someone so I'm confident they'll be around for a while longer yet. Just not under the Daybreak logo I'd guess.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-28306975907423706502020-03-08T15:06:35.309+00:002020-03-08T15:06:35.309+00:00I think the strangest thing about the timing of th...I think the strangest thing about the timing of this is it all coming just days before the EverQuest anniversary. That is probably just a coincidence, but it does cast a shadow after Holly was, just a week back, telling us about what was coming with the 21st birthday of the game.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.com
