Climate change is something we can bounce back from. Two years ago, Everfrost was hit by global warming in LU27. The tradeskill desks went under and no one in the right mind had any reason to linger around cracking arctic shelves.

However, just as the planet we live on went through multiple heating and cooling stages, and is still, discounting geographical changes, largely intact, so is Everfrost in the world of Norrath. With the recent GU48, Everfrost seem to have bounced back and people once again, flocked back, bringing with them a few new series of quests to the zone.

Proudly discovered by both Calreth senior and junior

One of them happen to be a widow who lost her husband after being attacked by sharks. Poor, poor her. Feeling sorry for her because, having nearly lost my life on multiple occasions before to Dreadwake and his lesser entourage, I understood how she felt and decided to lend her a helping hand. I set about salvaging what remains of her family possessions off the ocean floor, aiding in the eradication of sharks, and retrieving her husband’s wedding ring. I had discovery on the wedding ring and the final mage earing reward on Calreth, both on the Najena and Antonia Bayle server. Yay me!

Also, I suppose due to the melting of glaciers and what not, an opening has been torn in the mountain ranges such that the entire zone is now connected, instead of the NE path from the docks leading to a dead end. Some rather charming ladies seem to have taken up home there.

I haven’t done a lot given how much new content GU48 introduces to the game, but what I can confidently say at this point is that global warming does not signal an end to all life.
