that's right, another expansion. let me put on my excited face! <:O actually, i'm not sure what face that is, but anyway, it is expected to be released November 13th, 2007 along with a new playable race; you guessed it, the Sanark! (ha, so you didn't really guess it... i fooled you!!)
as described on the Sony website, "it is a dragonlike humanoid race who inhabit the land on a quest to rediscover their past."
the new starting city will be in the lush jungle islands of the ocean known as Timorous Deep. it's a level 1-20 area, and other select races will be able to start there as well.
the level cap will also be raised to 80 in both adventure and tradeskill classes. so i guess that means lots of new spells and craftable items, eh? eh?!
a new mount will be added as well--The Kunarkian Rhinocerous!
each of the 24 classes will have a new epic weapon quest and new armor and weapons for those who choose to raid and those who choose not to.
3 new deities will be added. Bertoxxulous (say that 5 times fast!) the Plaguebringer, Karana the Rainkeeper, and the mysterious Tribunal.
oh and they mentioned something about more high level zones, armor, and weapons.
but, if you plan to get into everquest 2 now, don't fret! you can buy this expansion which includes the base game plus all the expansions to date in one! (that does NOT include adventure packs, which are totally different and sold separately.) that's a little bit kinder than Blizzard is to its gamers. :(
the continent of Kurnark will supposedly have much larger outdoor zones than players are accustomed to...but we'll see!
they don't seem to have any screenshots or movies released yet, but i'll be on the lookout gosh darnit! i want some visuals!
visit the official EverQuest II website for their spiffy (but slow) flash page about the new expansion:
