Sony Fan Faire drops debut trailers for Everquest and EQII expansions

At Sony Online Entertainment's Fan Faire event in Las Vegas, expansions to two of the MMO developer's major titles, Everquest and Everquest II, were revealed and dated: EQ fans will be planting Seeds of Destruction on October 21, while EQII players will find themselves embarking on The Shadow Odyssey November 18. Shortly thereafter, SOE revealed a teaser trailer for each expansion. We debated about which one to feature on the main page, and ultimately decided upon the expansion for the game that hasn't been out for a hojillion years (fret not, Seeds' trailer is after the jump).
The Shadow Odyssey's teaser shows off some of the rather uninviting locales featured in the update, and not much else. The Seeds of Destruction trailer previews the new mercenary system, and flaunts a number of new areas which will be added to the title. Pretty impressive from a game that, if it were a human being, would be entering the fourth grade this Fall, where it would slowly begin to develop funny feelings towards its classmate, Asheron's Call.

Seriously - who still pays for Everquest!? Admit it! Now! Fess up, ass holes!

Assholes? They're not playing a lynch simulator.

EQ2 is actually a really great game as they have done really wonderful things with the expansion packs. It is really the best PvE MMO out there and really embodies the overperforming and underappreciated "Underdog" role that occurs when certain other software became larger than life.
That "other" unnamed software is a great product nonetheless but I think alot of people, especially people who are looking for less focus on PvP, would much prefer EQ2 if they weren't to jaded to give it a shot in it's current state.

Someone on, pimp your unique MMO's for *^^*'s sake.
(I'm referring to Planetside. You can't expect the players to do all the promoting...)

Once upon a time, I was an EQII slave. Was a pre-order and played for two years, but finally got burned out.
Now I play Final Fantasy XI. It is a much more rewarding experience. Plus, chocobos and moogles. Every game should have them.
