Everquest I and II Slated For Expansions

GinoMGG writes "Talk about a quick release. Hot on the tail of Desert of Flames SOE is acting fast to give those at the 60 cap something to do. WhoDigs has news from Ubisoft Germany on the Everquest 2 expansion, 'Kingdom of Sky'." Gamespot has word on both the EQLive and EQ2 expansions, while Mobhunter has a closer look at Everquest's 11th expansion - The Prophecy of Ro. From the Gamespot article: "The second expansion for EQII, Kingdom of Sky, will add an all-new structured skill and ability achievement system and will raise the level cap for adventurer and artisans to level 70 and guilds to level 50. It will add 10 new zones, 25 new monsters, and 'troves' of new items. Its plot will concern the Overrealm, a new realm of floating islands suspended at high altitudes, as well as a plot by ancient foes of Norrath to wreak havoc."

Again, to be fair, this will be Blizzards first expansion to WoW and will offer many new things to many people....new and old....to the game.

I should warn you about EQ2 and D&DO. If you like seeing a loading screen every time you go into a new zone, then you may love these two games. D&DO is the worse though. I recently played the beta and a huge amount of the time was taken up just watching a loading screen. I mean, you hit a loading screen just entering a tavern!

I think Blizzard has been great though with WoW with much new content already added for free over the past year. You may want to check out Guild Wars also, since it's just a one time charge for the game and no monthly fees. They are always updating that game also, but for new content they will be coming out with expansions about one every 6 months or so. You don't HAVE to by the expansion of course. Even if you don't like PvP, Guild Wars has a TON of just PvE stuff in there that you can explore. And the game is simply gorgeous, one of the best looking games I've every played (and that's saying a lot since I've played video games since 1980).
