Another year begins, and with it comes a new roadmap to share with you all. Before we go too far, however, let’s take a few moments to recap what happened at the tail end of last year. November saw the Champion’s Festival make its return to help celebrate EverQuest II’s anniversary! We also celebrated the return of the Feast of Giving and its bonuses in November. December saw the launch of EverQuest’s 31st Expansion, The Outer Brood, as well as the return of Frostfell, and the New Year’s event to finish out our year.


We had another banner year with Extra Life thanks to the amazing job you all did with fundraising and donating to help children in need! You all went above and beyond this year and, as such, raised a whopping $139,457.78. This year’s Darkpaw Games page is already up and ready for sign-ups.

 
We would be remiss for not mentioning the Darkpaw Swag Store which made its debut in 2024! Check it out for hats, shirts, posters, and much more! Keep an eye on it throughout the year for more swagtastic merch to be added!

And now, without further ado, this year’s Roadmap.
