PC Gamer has posted a very detailed preview of Sony's/Verants' EverQuest II.
Here's a bit:So what are the most important changes to the game world of the original EverQuest? For starters, there are now just three continents — the original three. The other continents, introduced in EQ expansions over the years, will be explained away in the as-yet-unrevealed fiction that sets the scene on Norrath at an undetermined time in the future.
Story? There is one in EverQuest, it’s just that no one bothered to take any notice. In EQII, Freeport has finally succumbed to its evil influences, with the Paladins ousted to a new wilderness fortress called Marr. On the west coast, Qeynos has rid itself of its rogue elements, but the rapscallions have formed their own haven of dishonor at a new location. |
