Everquest: Champions of Norath was a surprise. A very pleasant one. Visually stunning, fun alone or with friends and with the promise of online play with voice communications, this was certainly something I could see myself becoming more involved with. But alas it was not to be. This was just a preview, the first one is always free, and now it had me, I wanted more, but I would have to wait until I saw the mysterious stranger. I needed to find out if it truly did have all the highs and none of the lows, I just hope the mysterious stranger that had introduced me to this game knew where to find me.
