SOE announces EverQuest: Seeds of Destruction and EQII: The Shadow Odyssey
At its annual Fan Faire, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has revealed new expansions for EverQuest and EverQuest II. For EQ players, The Seeds of Destruction expansion offers a new level cap (85), 20 new zones, a new mercenary system, and all fourteen previous expansions in one box. EQII: The Shadow Odyssey will feature brand new zones, some revisits to the original EQ dungeons, a bump in the number of achievements you can get (up to 200), new deities, new quests and a new loot system that lets you pick your loot rewards.
Our MMO-obsessed colleagues at Massively have interviews with the EverQuest design team and EQII Senior Producer Bruce Ferguson about the expansions. All Fan Faire attendees will receive both games for free and will be able to participate in the SoD and TSO betas when they begin on August 19 and September 2, respectively.
Seeds of Destruction will come out October 21, while The Shadow Odyssey is scheduled for November 18. Stay tuned to Massively all week for more Fan Faire coverage.

Guess SOE is milking everquest until Warhammer or Wow completely takes over the market. EQIII Maybe?

Everquest still exists?

That's cool that they're still releasing expansions for a game that's 10+ yrs old. Also the graphics look pretty ok for such an old game.
However they should probably think about releasing an ending to it so all those still addicted can get some closure.

I think that's a really interesting topic. If an MMO is designed to last as long as people are willing to play it, it must be a strange concept to think about designing an ending to the content. I wonder if we'll ever see a real ending moment to WoW or EQ.

Is EQ free yet?

Loved EQ. Played until I sold both of my accounts and built a snappy new PC. I left on a high note, just after TSS was released. I would love to see a true continuation of Everquest, EQII was not a true successor in my book.

How many people still play EQ? Seriously?
If you're going to have an account in an alternative MMO (meaning NOT WoW), EVE is the way to go IMHO...

her left nostril is HUGE!
Neuromancer @ Aug 17th 2008 11:44AM
It's a trick of perspective, only because her left nostril is closer to the observer than her right nostril.
OK I made that up, she's still kind of hot though.

Loved EQ. I usually talk with some nude babes on
"www.NaturistMeet.com" over the game , that's interesting
