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.
New F2P MMORPG Free Realms from Sony Online Entertainment
Free Realms a new Free to Play MMO from SOE
If you are like most of the people I talk to on a daily basis you are looking for good free to play (F2P) MMORPGs. I have friends asking me all the time what some of the best F2P MMOs out there are so I am always keeping my eyes out for the latest releases.
Enter Free Realms from Sony Online Entertainment, a free MMORPG designed to appeal to a younger, broader audience than your standard Fantasy MMO.
Created in conjunction with the makers of Everquest, Free Realms aims at creating a unique game play experience that is based around creativity, and fun instead of the standard level based grind.
The game promises to offer an interesting social experience that focuses on interaction with other players. The Free Realms website even offers social profile pages for players to create their own type of MySpace page within the game.
Recently opened into Beta testing for a select 20,000 players Sony is hoping that Free Realms will fill the void that has been left by many pay to play MMORPGs that have fallen by the wayside.
With a new gameplay mechanic and a fresh look on MMOs in general, only time will tell how gamers will receive this new gaming expereince from Sony.
