EverQuest II pays tribute to its predecessor's 12th anniversary

The world of Norrath is the setting for both EverQuest and EverQuest II, but the latter is set several hundred years in the future. But starting today and running until March 30th, players can enjoy a special tribute in honor of the older game's hitting the 12-year mark. While some of your enemies and settings might be just a little anachronistic for the game, it's worth the slight break in immersion to pay homage to one of the biggest and brightest games in the history of MMOs.

And really, it does all make sense, since players are being called in to help the Chronomages of Norrath as they deal with sudden upheaval in the time stream. With quests sending you around the world, you should run into a number of familiar EverQuest heroes and villains alike. EverQuest II players can enjoy the tribute to the game's venerable predecessor until next Wednesday -- so if you're a long-time veteran, now's the time to relive old memories.
