SOE Announces New Expansions for Everquest, Everquest 2
Kotaku reports that Sony Online Entertainment has announced new expansions for both Everquest and Everquest 2. The announcement came at SOE's Fan Faire today. Kotaku made available some screenshots and the press release, which gives details about what to expect in the new content. Zonk has some more in-depth coverage on EQ: Seeds of Destruction and EQ II: The Shadow Odyssey over at Massively.
Apparently? OK, so not a lot, but according to MMOGChart.com, they've both got a little under 200,000 subscribers, which isn't too shabby.
Granted that doesn't exactly match Blizzard's 10 million, but hell, what does?
EQ2 is still the third largest MMORPG (if you ignore Asian MMORPGs and Dofus) behind WoW and EVE.
So, yes, it still has a presence amongst western MMORPG players. Well, if you completely and totally ignore WoW.
