EQ2 Forum Frostfell Feedback and Bugs 2017

Frostfell is active on BETA! You read that right... Beta. Due to the level increase and new art associated with Frostfell, we cannot separate the event from the expansion. So, until Test is updated with the expansion, Frostfell will have to be tested on Beta. After that, I will activate it on Test. So, without further ado, I give you.... Frostfell! Join us in celebrating this Deepice holiday! Whether you are an adventurer or tradeskiller you'll find something new awaits you! In your city, the Gigglegibber, Gh'lad Tydingz, has a new task for those who can use the recent connection to the Plane of Magic. He is interested in getting some Frostfell items from there. Step through the Magic Closet within your city to enter the Frostfell Wonderland Village, an enchanting land of ice and adventure! From there you are welcome to visit the Frostfell Workshop. Don't forget to log in each day and claim your extra-special Frostfell present from Santa Glug! New Features for '17!
