Sony Online Entertainment Inc. (SOE), a worldwide leader in massively multiplayer online gaming, announced today that it is adding incentives to EverQuest® II, the parallel online universe to the hugely successful gaming phenomenon EverQuest®, to reward current EverQuest players for the time they have invested enjoying the original title. The incentives will include exclusive crossover quest zones in each game that will be accessible only by subscribers of both games, allowing characters in EverQuest and EverQuest II to gain access to hidden treasures, an EverQuest II in-game reward for loyal fans, and additional features to be disclosed over the coming months for ongoing EverQuest and EverQuest II players. EverQuest II is expected to ship to U.S. and Canadian retail stores this winter.
"EverQuest II is a new and very dynamic online gaming experience that will change the landscape for massively multiplayer online games for years to come," said Michael Lustenberger, director of product marketing, Sony Online Entertainment. "We realize all of the time and effort our loyal fan base has invested in building their characters within the EverQuest universe and we want to reward them for their efforts as they try the next generation of EverQuest."

Considering Star Wars: Galaxies isn't even out yet, EQ2 will never be released before 2004.

They didn't delay Luclin more than a month, although it needed to be delayed more like six.
I'm betting EQ2 ships on time. Broken, but on time.

Ok so does this mean we can take our chars to some zones in EQ2. Then this is really gonna end up being kind of an expansion.

As far as I understand Produs, that's not what it means. What it means is that if you play on EverQuest, then you'll get special perks on EverQuest2 *with* your EQ2 characters. ...and, vice-versa.
At least, that's my interpretation. The character structures just going to be too different to transfer or whatnot, I believe. |

Hmm this is interesting:
16 Races, 100 Levels and 48 Classes -- Branching systems allows you to choose your class as you advance
Lots of races and classes
