From the Press Release
Sony Online Entertainment, LLC (SOE) this weekend celebrates the 10th Anniversary of EverQuest®II, the hit massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). With 11 expansions, including the upcoming Altar of Malice, and countless regular content updates, EverQuest II has become a true mainstay in the online gaming world, and introduced the first robust housing and crafting systems to ever grace an MMO. In celebration of this weekend's milestone and appreciation of EQII's loyal Norrathian community, SOE is bringing back the annual favorite, Heroes' Festival, including tons of anniversary festivities and prizes for the taking!

New to this year's EverQuest II Heroes' Festival 2014:

A strange woman and her band of play-actors have been seen travelling around bringing to life the stories of Norrath's past. Track them down, and attempt to defeat iconic EverQuest II bosses... in patchwork form! The patchwork bosses drop a new currency, Mischeva's Tribute, which can be used to purchase special items! Visit the Heroes' Festival merchant in Freeport and the Qeynos Capitol District for house versions of your favorite defeated patchwork bosses, including Darathar, the Djinn Master, Trakanon, Roehn Theer, and Baelon. The Mischeva's Tribute currency can also be used to purchase sets of level 10, 20, 50, 70, and 95 heroic armor and weapons! Additional majestic items will also be available for Tokens of Heroism from the Heroes Festival merchants.

The EverQuest II team wants to hear players' favorite memories from across Norrath. With over a decade's worth of journeys, forged friendships / alliances and epic battles, players are encouraged to share their many thoughts, photos and videos at the community forums.
