Important Notes

  • StationCash is an SOE-wide currency so when it’s doubled in one game, this applies to all SOE games.
  • European times above reflect Daylight Savings Time starting on Sunday, March 31st. America has been on DST since March 10th.
  • Times above have been confirmed but are subject to vary (always erring on the side of running longer not shorter).
  • The addition of Snow in the banner above is my own embellishment.

Grab yer best stein! Brewday — March 7 – March 18

From the EQ2 Forums:

Many moons ago, the Dwarves started Brewday in honor of Brell. Now, each year, portals appear in Antonica, Commonlands, Haven, Greater Faydark, Timorous Deep, and Frostfang Sea to lead you to the Bar of Brell, where new and classic adventures await those thirsty and foolhardy enough to enter!

Otengard Brauer has also set up a Beer Garden in the Butcherblock Mountains, but the ale seems to have attracted some goblins. Help him while competing against others in an effort to rid the area of the most goblins. And as you’re crawling through the bars and drinking holes throughout Norrath, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for special items of interest to collect!

Brewday begins on March 7th, 2013 at 12:01 am 1:40am Pacific Time and runs until March 18, 2013 at 11:59 pm Pacific.
