So there I am, casually slapping around giants in Sinking Sands, when the world goes black.  I come to in a sumptuous room decorated in Maj'Dul style.  A pretty Dark Elf is leaning over me.  "GOTCHA!" said Kiara.

"Holy Tunare, give a girl some warning next time.  Hey, this place is nice!" 

"Take a look around while I get ready for the birthday party," Kiara said, wandering into the bedroom.

The Community Lounge is a private zone on all servers used by Guides, GM, Devs, and Community Managers with a wicked sense of humor.  It's here that the Everquest II 4th Birthday Parties were (and are to be) held on all servers.  It's a fun place! 

The luxurious indoor swimming pool is called the wishing pool and has fishing node (quite contested when the zone is busy) which gives fun, no-zone goodies.  There are lots of clickables around the room which produced a couple of house items and some fireworks.  A lamp spawns a djinn story teller, and in the back of the main room are musicians and dancing halfling girls.
