well.. crap. Many folks on the beta server were asking about it (ACK! did I just break the NDA?) , so thought I would post it here.

Well the in-game item hasnt been annoucned, and that's what most people are wondering about.

Unless it's a staff both in the box and in the game... that sentence is kind of ambiguous...

"Order and receive a unique in-box gift and special in-game magic item! This item is a large staff ...."

Terrible grammar for a press release...

And if it is an in-game staff (with a faction modifier perhaps?), well, big whoop. At least the LDoN bag was semi useful.

Hopefully if they are giving retail rewards they will work on the flipping bug that prevents some people from getting the retail reward from LDON so it doesnt happen with this one. I got the retail version, when I logged in it said I did not have a reward pending. I /petition and am told to /bug it b/c it is a known bug. Then I email and am told the same thing. Doesn't answer my question as to when or if I am gonna get the reward for purchasing retail now does it :)

For those that don't know, the Satchel 'bonus item' that came with Retail LDoN is upgradable in-game to a 10 slot, giant, 50% weight reduction bag. Easy quest.

I asked Brenlo this on Sony's boards. He said yeah, the in-game item is also a staff. Supposedly it will have a "cool lightning effect" and have some modifiers on it and one will be "especially useful" on the new continent. Trying to dig up the thread for a link now.

After buying LDoN from the store, it's the only way to go...because I'm supremely lazy, they announced a release date yet?

Been Feb 10th, and still is. Like every other EQ expansion, they likely won't change it , no matter what people /bug or /feedback in the Beta =-p
