Donate to the Japan Relief Effort!
On March 11, 2011 a devastating earthquake, followed by a tsunami, hit Japan. The country is in desparate need of help and EverQuest II is encouraging players to do their part.
Earlier today a new section was introduced to the Marketplace dedicated to the Japan relief effort. A single item called Memory of Spring is listed in it, costing 500 Station Cash, with a description explaining that funds from its sale will be donated to the cause.
To purchase this item, go into the Marketplace in game (by using the /marketplace command or the EQII game menu) and choose the "Japan Relief Effort" category. The item is not lore so you can purchase multiples if you are so inclined. It is currently unknown how long the donation section will be available for--we'll update you as more details are released.
UPDATE: This category disappeared from the Marketplace late on 3/18, but we are hopeful it will make a return based on a forum comment by Amnerys.
UPDATE: The donation items made a return on March 25th, and will be available through March 28th. See this article for more information.
