Senior Producer, Holly Longdale, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everquest2.com\/news\/everquestii-heroic-producer-letter\">explained<\/a> that SOE is adding the so-called &#8220;Heroic Character&#8221; feature to EverQuest II in response to fan requests.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Former players don&#8217;t want to play catch-up to Level 95, existing players don&#8217;t want to start over at Level 1 with their friends, and some players just want to get into high-end guilds and raids because that&#8217;s what they love to do. There&#8217;s been a lot of great feedback that led us to create Heroic Characters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal is to provide a fun and easy option for existing and returning players to play or experiment with our characters and have immediate access to high-level content. And we think we&#8217;ve created a great program for everyone!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Everyone can create a free jump-started character until October 15th during the &#8220;Hero&#8217;s Call&#8221; event. After that, it will cost real-world money to get a leveled character, but there will be a try before you buy option. SOE will allow you to check out a Heroic Character until level 86 for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony Online Entertainment is now offering players a way to purchase an immediate jump to level 85 in EverQuest II.
