Legends of Norrath Living Legacy Photo Contest!

Do you have what it takes to become a Living Legacy in the Legends of Norrath™, EverQuest® or EverQuest II worlds? Prove it! SOE is giving you a unique opportunity to become a true Living Legacy and cement yourself into EverQuest or EverQuest II for posterity.

And you could win a trip to Fan Faire!

What Is The Contest?

SOE is looking for two players; one from EverQuest and one from EverQuest II, to prove their passion for their favorite MMO. If you're one of those players, you can win some incredible prizes!

Do you know these people?

Continuing the theme from LoN: Inquisitor and LoN: Foresworn, Legends of Norrath's latest expansion, Oathbraker has slipped some real people into the game.

The folks on the cards are players of SOE games (sorry, I won't "out" anyone), including EverQuest, EverQuest II, and Star Wars Galaxies. Artist Kieran Yanner created this fabulous art from photos of people you may play with:

Exclusive: Interview with Joe Alread, SOE Designer

With the release of our latest spoiler, Kaladim Sergeant, we had an opportunity to chat with Joe Alread, designer at SOE, about past, current, and future releases in the Legends of Norrath series, including his own thoughts on the title.  Here's how it went:
AutumnKiss: First off, thank you so much for taking time out to chat with us! To start with, can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background, so that our readers can get to know you a little better?

Joe: Sure! My name is Joe Alread and I’ve been a designer at SOE Denver for almost 6 months now. Before coming to SOE I worked on a number of other MMOs and TCGs including the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings trading card games. I’ve been playing Legends of Norrath for quite awhile now and am delighted that I now have the opportunity to have an impact on its future.

AutumnKiss:
With the Legends of Norrath, there is an immersive story being told here, spanning the sets and the lore behind both EverQuest and EverQuest II. How difficult is it to put this story into a TCG like this, and what has been your greatest challenge so far in this aspect?

Joe: The biggest challenge in my mind is maintaining a balance between both games, as we want to give both groups of players content to be excited about. At the same time though, having lore from both EverQuest and EverQuest II as a resource gives us an amazing amount of freedom in how we create our stories, and I think it really shows. In Oathbreaker for example you’ll find out that the Oathbound are not all that you think them to be. You must join the forsworn and convince other Oathbound to join your new plight.

AutumnKiss: With the release of Inquisitor, some in the community felt there was a weakening of certain classes in the cards. Can we expect to see the same here for more balance?

Oathbreaker Spoiler #3: Kaladim Sergeant!

In our final spoiler before the release of Legends of Norrath: Oathbreaker, we present to you:

Kaladim Sergeant
By Joe “Palejo” Alread, Game Designer and SOE-Denver

In Oathbreaker you’ll notice a number of cards that revolve around damaged and undamaged units. Cards like these have appeared here and there in previous sets, but in Oathbreaker they are out in full force. As a player you should be able to open up with these cards at the right times and get some powerful effects out of them. Take the Kaladim Sergeant, for example:
