SOE is celebrating the launch of Destiny of Velious with special events!

In celebration of the launch of Destiny of Velious, SOE has announced twelve days of special events, which kicked off yesterday with the bonus experience weekend. All events/offers will run from 10:00 am PST on the day they begin until 10:00 am PST the following day, when the next event/offer begins. The events for February 23rd through 28th have yet to be announced, but here's what has been so far!

February 18-22: President's Day Bonus XP Weekend!

On the first four days of Velious, enjoy bonus adventure, tradeskill and AA experience! This event runs from 10:00 am PST on February 18th until servers come down on Tuesday morning (currently scheduled for 3:00 am PST on February 22nd).

February 22: Othmir Day

Everyone who logs in on Launch Day, February 22nd, will receive an Othmir illusion potion. (Even those who aren't playing in Velious!) The potion has 50 charges, and is available one per character. Just be sure to log in each of your characters during the day to claim a potion, if you want the illusion for more than one character.

March 1: Gnomish Aerodome Races

Get your first taste of flight! Players can queue up to take a gnomish aircraft through a torturous test-pilot course. Aerial race tracks are erected near the entrance to Butcherblock (the most hazardous course), Tenebrous Tangle (the longest course) and Lavastorm (the course that requires the most finesse). Find the gnome next the huge scoreboard, and talk to him to start the quest. Then just step on the teleport pad and you'll be warped to the starting line!

Participation earns prizes, and winners will receive a title as well as the ability to fly the craft around for a short time (aircraft is no-zone and expires after the event is over.) This event lasts for just one day, so don't miss out!
