14 DAY TRIAL // Sony Online Entertainment has announced the launch of the most recent expansion for its MMO EverQuest II, called Destiny of Velious, adding end-game content for high-level players and a whole new area that players are able to explore at will.
The events of Destiny of Velious follow those seen in Sentine's Fate, with a powerful prophecy known as “Age's End” descending upon the land, with war and destruction beginning as foretold.
The entire universe of EverQuest is at stake as both Swords of Destiny, Soulfire, and the Qeynos Claymore, are drained of their power and powerful creatures emerge from the shadows and threaten all players.
Players that are engaged in the EverQuest II storyline will be able to explore the Great Wastes of Velious, raid end game dungeons and meet new enemies, with powerful flying mounts allowing them to quickly travel from one flashpoint to another.
There are also more than 1,000 new weapons and items that players can collect and use to boost the power of their characters.
David Georgeson, who is the producer working on EverQuest II, stated, “Content is what drives the MMO market and keeps players engaged and active in the game, and this expansion delivers content for players of all types with fresh storylines, new zones for exploring, new gear to wear, flying mounts for unrivaled mobility, and multiple gameplay enhancement features.”
He added, “As a team we strive to keep EQII at the top of its game with each expansion, making sure that it remains the deepest, most enchanting, and most immersive persistent universe on the market.”
Sony Online Entertainment has also launched a Collector's Edition for Destiny of Velious, with a snow hound pet included, a special flying mount and a few other in game items presented to those who are interested in spending more on the MMO.
