Heroic Characters
Heroic Characters are planned to arrive for EverQuest on March 12, 2014. They are characters that begin at level 85.
| “ | Heroic Characters allow players to select any class and begin their adventures in EverQuest at level 85 with a full complement of gear, Alternative Advancement Abilities, food, drink, and platinum. This feature is a great way for new players to get caught up with their friends. It’s also great for existing players that want to try new classes, or for players returning to Norrath so they can explore content that they haven’t had an opportunity to visit yet. | ” |
Obtaining
Players will have the option to create a Heroic Character when they log into their account and use the Upgrade Character button from the Character Creation Screen.
Players can also choose to use the Heroic Character button to upgrade an existing character to level 85. That upgraded character will receive all the perks of being a Heroic Character.
Progression servers
Fippy Darkpaw and Vulak’Aerr servers will not have Heroic Characters until the Call of the Forsaken expansion is unlocked. These servers will not be eligible for a free Heroic Character since Call of the Forsaken will not be unlocked during the two-week trial period.
Price
Heroic Characters cost 3,500 SC (Station Cash) each.
Promotional free giveaway
For the first two weeks (Wednesday, March 12 to Wednesday, March 26, 2014), the first Heroic Character each player creates is free.
