"“We thought about it for a while with EQ II,” EQII Producer Dave Georgeson said, “and basically what it boiled down to is if we went with at free-to-play service like this we were going to be presenting the biggest, baddest MMO that’s free to play. There isn’t anything better than this that is free to play.”"
"New Halas is located in the Frostfang Sea near Everfrost. The city includes starting area content for levels 1 through 20. Any good and neutral race/class combinations can begin in New Halas. The city also includes housing."
"The mount comes in three flavors. You can get an Ethereal Prowler which is purple, a Sinister Prowler which is green, or a Ulteran Prowler which is blue. Each can come in either a Fierce or Arcane version."
OMGWTF... are you serious? Although it might not as be as popular as World of Warcraft, Sony Online Entertainment's Everquest II is still a blast to play for MMORPG lovers. Its robust features, including the upcoming expansion and Battlegrounds mode, are highly underrated. Head inside to find out why jumping into the EQ2 world is just as exciting as any other MMORPG.
Seriously, is there someone who pays for playing in a virtual world? Still, I have to guess so, as every day another online MMORPG is born. Ok, this is not new at all, but it's another update, hoping to awaken the abandoning (and not paying) players.
"I fended off last year's hype machines like a fish resisting a hook, but by fall I was caught and reeled in by the likes of Spore, LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2 and Fallout 3. They were all innovative, and unique and groundbreaking, but none met my unreachable expectations.
Was it always like this? Has every big release launched like an easy home run, only to strike the foul post? My childhood memories say, "No," but my retrospective of the Most Hyped Games Ever says, "Yes."

A recently study looking at gender differences in more than 2,400 gamers playing EverQuest II has revealed quite a few interesting things regarding gender habits in MMOs. The study showed that females who play MMOs are 5 times more likely to be bisexual, females are more dedicated to the game than males despite their being more male players, and that female MMO players are generally more healthy than the average person (though this was drawn from self-reported levels of exercise).
Go to th...
"The last two stops were The Deep Forge, home to Cruhm the Overseer, and Najenas Hollow Tower, characterized by a transparent glass circular staircase and walkway, leading all the way down and over a lava pool.
All of the dungeons are group instances, designed to be completed within 1-2 hours and as previously mentioned, scale down to the groups level to a minimum of level 50. In this sense, I think SOE is more in tune with the casual gamer than some of their other competitors. While its..."
In addition to the generic skinny geeky gaming stereotype with the overly high metabolism who needs to monitor his bloodsugar level, females are on the rise in the gaming community.
A survey conducted by LiveScience around EverQuest II players found that they are generally (about 10%) leaner than the average American, and exercise more frequently.
The downside being- gamers are more prone to mental illness, such as depression and substance addiction.
(Chances are that substance they ...

"The one wish of many a father is that he one day gets to walk his daughter down the aisle and give her away to a sweaty-palmed fiancé standing in wait, at what he hopes will be a very special wedding ceremony.
GamerSquad wonders, however, how daddy might react if his baby told him that she wanted to get simultaneously hitched both in real life and online through the servers of EverQuest II.
That's just what one MMORPG-loving couple are planning to do during the game's annual Fan Faire ..."
