Omens of War, often abbreviated as OOW or Omens, is the eighth expansion released for EverQuest — a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). The expansion focused on high-level content and introduced new lore to the EverQuest universe.

This expansion:

  • Added five more levels, increasing the cap to 70.
  • Introduced new Epic weapons, known as Epic 2.0
  • A new Tribute system, allowing guilds to pool tribute points to purchase various effects
  • An attempt at a "task system", intended to "allow players to have quick solo content while waiting for a group to form". Unfortunately, tasks either turned out to take a long time, or to require group support, in order to complete.
  • An expansion of the character Title system, allowing players to choose which available title their toon could have, as well as adding a great many more, including tradeskill titles like Expert Chef.
  • An ninth spell slot, which could be earned via AA purchase.
  • A poorly implemented, nearly-unused voice macro system, intended to allow players to make audible comments to each other. [POV]
