Two New EverQuest MMORPG Expansions Announced by SOE
MMORPG Fans of the Popular EverQuest and EverQuest II Series Get a Treat from Sony!
At the latest Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire 2009 held in Las Vegas this past Friday, fans recieved an exciting announcement of two expansions for the hugely popular EverQuest and EverQuest II MMORPGs.
The details on the MMORPG expansion are few and far between at the moment, but Sony did announce that EverQuest: Underfoot would be the 16th official expansion for the original EverQuest MMORPG. The Underfoot expansion would introduce a new underground dungeon for players when it launches later this year.
In addition EverQuest II will also be getting an expansion called Sentinel’s Fate thatis expected to release in 2010. This new expansion will increase the current level cap to 90 and will introduce an achievement system to the game.
“Sentinel’s Fate will allow you to play older, low-level content with a high-level character and still gain experience. SOE is also integrating various achievements into the game, such as killing 10,000 orcs or reaching level 80 with multiple characters.”
It is hard to believe how long EverQuest has been around, and even more impressive that the development team is still creating new and exciting content for this beloved MMORPG. Fans of the series will have a lot to look forward to in the coming year with these latest announcements from Sony.
Ultima Online the Immortal MMORPG? Stygian Abyss Expansion
Ultima Online – One of the Longest Running MMORPGs Still Adding Content
You have probably heard of a little game called Ultima Online over the years. That is because it has been around since the late 90’s. Ultima Online created almost a cult following when the game transitioned from its single player RPG into a full fledged MMORPG experience.
Whether it was the mythology of the game, the race and class system, or the unbridled PVP combat aspects that drove players to this title is hard to say. The one undisputed fact is that almost 10 years later players still continue to populate the world of Ultima Online.
To thank players for their support Mythic Entertainment has continued to offer additional content for the game in the way of massive expansions. The latest expansion Stygian Abyss promises to offer many new additions to the game to keep it fresh for long time veterans.
Some of the most noted features of the Stygian Abyss expansion are new dungeons including one of the largest to ever appear in the game. The expansion will also allow players to travel to Ter Mur the Gargoyle homeland, and even play as the Gargoyle Race which has become a large part of the Ultima Online mythology.
Pricing has not been set for the expansion but it has been confirmed that it will be a digital distribution giving fans access to the action from the day of release.
Whether you are an old school veteran of the series, or someone returning after years of absence, the Stygian Abyss is sure to offer many new exciting additions that will allow players to relive the Adventure of Ultima Online.
