Exclusive launch trailer for EverQuest II: Destiny of Velious expansion
Heroes of Norrath, heed the call of Al'Kabor. An ancient enemy once again threatens the world as we know it. The powers of fear were stolen, and only the twin Swords of Destiny can bring victory. But there is hope! A creature has appeared on the shores of Norrath to transport heroes to the continent of Velious, where the evil rests. If the enemy is defeated there, you can save the people of Norrath. Your destiny and the destiny of all are tied to the Destiny of Velious. Tomorrow, Sony Online Entertainment will unleash its seventh expansion for the company's premier title, EverQuest II: Destiny of Velious. In celebration, SOE has released a brand-new video calling all EQII players to arms. It features narration from the Erudite Al'Kabor and boasts footage shot entirely in-game. We want to be the first to show you, the Massively reader, this exclusive trailer! Follow after the break to get a glimpse of the Destiny of Velious expansion, then ride your flying mount over to the official website to find out how you can take part in saving the world.
Macheads can get their hardcore on with EverQuest Macintosh Edition
This one's in the "resurrect the dead category." If you find World of WarCraft a little on the light side and other fantasy-based MMOs lacking, you can still get a taste of "the good ole days" with EverQuest Macintosh Edition.EQMac lives literally in the Forgotten Lands at SOE: the SOE staffer I originally contacted to fact-check a few things responded "You can't play EQ on a Mac." It's not her fault, really; the last patch was almost three years ago in January 2005. However, Al'Kabor, the lone Mac -based server, is still limping along. You can get a 15-day trial key here -- after that it's $14.95/month and is part of the Station All Access Pass.Now, why would I suggest you play on a server that lives in SOE's Land That Time Forgot? A place where Dolly Parton is likely to get better support from a training bra than you are from SOE -- allegedly, there's a server GM and some CSRs, but I've heard response time a little slow, even by SOE standards. I'm throwing it out there for two reasons: it's an alternative to WoW, and there's the makings of one hell of a community there.
