Riddle me this. The game has around 420,000 paying subscribers a month, listing such otherworldly goods as fishbone earrings and magic capes from its rich game world on eBay used to garner bids up to $1,400 … and its fans have their own freaking convention! All of these clues point to one game and one game alone -- SOE's EverQuest.

After many expansions and other content updates to the original game, players will finally be given a chance to see the world of Norrath in an entirely new light. We sat down with Steve Danuser, EverQuest II Community Manager at Sony Online Entertainment to find out more about the upcoming highly anticipated sequel. Will it break the old game's records? That remains to be seen; the market for MMORPGs has changed dramatically since the introduction of EverQuest back in 1999.
