New Additions Coming to the World of EverQuest
II
New Expansion Pack, Echoes of Faydwer™ and New
Adventure Pack, The Fallen Dynasty™ Currently In Development
Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE), a global
leader in the online games industry, today announced details on its latest plans
for EverQuest II, which include a new expansion pack featuring an all new
playable race and an adventure pack introducing an Asian flair to the popular
massively multiplayer online game. Echoes of Faydwer, the third expansion for
EverQuest II, is expected to be available on or around November 14, both at
retail and via digital distribution for a suggested retail price of $39.99. The
Fallen Dynasty is the third adventure pack for EQII and will be available this
June by digital download only for a suggested retail price of $7.99 or at no
additional charge to Station Access subscribers of two months or longer.
“Our newest offerings to the EverQuest II product
line offer great fun for EQII fans,” said Laura Naviaux, senior brand manager,
Sony Online Entertainment. “Echoes of Faydwer is a content-rich experience for
both the seasoned EverQuest II player and the newbie alike, since the new
content is accessible from the start. With The Fallen Dynasty, higher level
veterans of EQII can explore a unique adventure and gain all-new weapons that
they can bring into the rest of the game world.”
Echoes of Faydwer is the third expansion pack for
EverQuest II, and introduces a new playable race, The Fae. An enchanted race of
winged creatures, the Fae dwell on the continent of Faydwer, in the arboreal
city of Kelethin, the new starting city being added to this latest chapter in
the EQII saga. Echoes of Faydwer includes over 350 new quests, a new selection
of profession hats, cloaks, armor, and new horse mounts available to players of
all levels. EQII players will encounter over 40 new types of creatures to face,
more than 20 new zones and adventure areas, and will be able to compete against
other players for new PvP (Player vs. Player) rewards, plus all-new items,
equipment, spells and tradeskill recipes. The Achievement system introduced in
the Kingdom of Sky expansion has been enhanced to include additional sub-class
abilities, allowing players to further customize their characters’ abilities.
Developed in conjunction with SOE’s Taiwan
studio, The Fallen Dynasty Adventure Pack promises to deliver the same
downloadable story-rich content seen in the previously released The Bloodline
Chronicles and The Splitpaw Saga, but this time with Asian influenced adventure
zones, weapons, tradeskill rewards, as well as all new quests.
The Fallen Dynasty introduces EQII players to a
mysterious city shrouded in secrets and once ruled by a powerful entity. The
Whistling Fist, an ancient order of monks, guard its veiled past, but seek
adventurers brave enough to explore the mysteries of this forgotten
civilization.
