Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest is a video game created by Snowblind Studios and published by Sony Online Entertainment. It was only developed for the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony and published in 2005. The game is classed as an action title with a dark medieval theme that sought to introduce some light role playing game elements. It is played from a third person perspective.
The game is a direct sequel to Champions of Norrath and the action is set yet again in the EverQuest universe. There is an evil power, Innoruuk, that was destroyed and his pieces or shards were scattered amongst the Planes of Power. The quest that the player undertakes is to collect all the shards; then, he can decide whether he wants to be good and destroy them or go down the dark path and restore him. Most reviewers stated that the story of the game was rather weak, with forgettable characters and uninterested levels.
The level up elements and the weapon selection in the game are well done and there are varied enemies that require varied tactics to take down. The combat in the game might be its strong suit.
The game offers two more races than the original release and there is an option to import a character that you have completed the original game with.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Duplicate items and easy money
Start a game with two controllers. Press Start and select "Add/Remove Player". Select the slot for player two at the import screen then import the current character you are playing into the player two slot. Select "Finish" and player two will now be a duplicate of your original character, with the same armor, weapons, and items. Sell the duplicated inventory items for money, then repeat.
Save the game. Then, save the game again on another slot. Take the earlier save and give the item to be duplicated to another person. Then, save over the earlier slot. Next, load the later saved game. Import the character you traded the item to on the later save.
Save the game with the item to be duplicated, then start another game (two to four player game). Import your character. When prompted to select another one, import your character again. Once in your game, the other player drops the item to be duplicated. Then, save the game again. Start a one player game. Select the character you saved and you will have those items.
