EverQuest I and II expand

By Robert Purchese Published 14 November, 2007

Science blamed.

EverQuest II expansion Rise of Kunark and EverQuest expansion Secrets of Faydwer are out now.

Kunark boosts the level cap to 80 and adds a whole new continent of quests to complete and items to collect. There is a new playable race in the Sarnak, too, loads of fresh monsters to kill and plenty of raid content for those of you over level 65.

If you buy this in shops or on Sony Online Entertainment's site, you will be given the original EverQuest II game and all the expansions to date. Wait, you will also get a cockatrice for your house and the Legends of Norrath card game with a starter pack, booster pack and a loot item.

Meanwhile Faydwer expands the frankly ancient MMORPG EverQuest by upping the level limit to 80 and adding around 15 new areas to explore - copycat.

Buy this one and you will get all 14 expansions to date, a ridable dog thing called a worg as well as the Legends of Norrath card game.

    I love all this 'welcome new person' business, have everthing that regular loyal subscibers have paid hundreds and 8 quid a month for the last x years, for 35 quid!

    Expansions are an unnecessary rip off (dvd production cos, publiser cut, retail mark up istribution ta etc erodes what the developer gets to practically nothing), if you pay the monthly amount they should be added automatically. If you are a late arrival, you should get the game to date and then start paying your monthly.

    Presumably, people not only play it, but buy it. How odd. I can understand if it's something like AO did last year, offering most of the stuff free for a while and then drawing people into the paid expansions, but paying for EQ 1? The only reason I can see is if you have a really, really old comp that won't run anything better and you're really desperate to try an MMO ...

    As an ex-long time SWG player may I say I hate SOE subscribers only slightly more than SOE itself - If you want to meet a bunch of self-righteous arseholes who use the phrases 'slap in the face' and 'we deserve x more than y' way too much then go right ahead and sign up.

    At least WoW is succesful enough that you never have to use it's forums and witness the pillocks that play it.
