Player Disquiet Leads To EverQuest Expansion Delay

EvilBastard writes "Sony Online Entertainment have announced that, due to an almost universal player backlash against the next expansion pack that is seen more as a $30.00 patch for missing content, they are delaying the new EverQuest expansion by 6 weeks, and will 'spend time fixing the problems you have brought to our attention'. Also announced is a plan to fly some of the more vocal website people to SOE headquarters, to try to restart enthusiasm for what may be the last EverQuest expansion ever. With the cancellation of Everquest for Mac, some high-profile guilds quitting, 6 months of allegedly declining numbers, big - budget competition and now a widespread call to boycott future games, is the much-predicted end of EverQuest almost here?"

Same here. I never liked EverQuest expansions, especially because they came out far too frequently, in my opinion, and they were overpriced for the stuff they added. By continuously adding more for powergamers to do, this game turned into just one long level-grind. I've been "clean" for a bit over two years now. :)

See....I told you.
