Sony has made it official: The 10th EverQuest expansion
 

Sony has made it official: The 10th EverQuest expansion, Depths of Darkhollow, is set to be released in September of 2005. Details can be found on the newly opened official Depths of Darkhollow website.

The official plug:

On the surface, as the battle between Firionia Vie and Lanys T?Vyl continues to rage throughout the lands of Nektulos, an expedition of Qeynosian miners breached the barrier of Darkhollow. Only then was the first werewolf seen and the first human bitten. Now a new evil begins to emerge from the underground; far beneath the surface of Norrath. Join EverQuest: Depths of Darkhollow and journey into a world of immorality and devastation, a world that has existed purely as a vast wilderness filled with intelligent predators, destruction and disease. Go forth with courage as the terror that lies deep within these grounds must not be allowed to spread to the surface ? to Norrath.

EverQuest: Depths of Darkhollow will have you adventuring in raw, bleak caverns and facing the most formidable monsters yet! Featuring 5 new feral predators, spectacular new underground environments and countless new missions, raids and events!

Monster Missions: Play EverQuest as you never have before and see Norrath through the eyes of some of its fearsome and powerful creatures as you step into their form to do battle against their ancient foes! Change into a creature with different abilities from your own to experience. Experience EverQuest lore first hand through the eyes of another character in Monster Missions and unlock the ability to use more powerful monsters!

Spirit Shrouds: Adventure with your friends of any levels. Spirit Shrouds will allow you to play as a creature at any level below your own. So don the form of a lower level creature and join your friends in battle while earning experience for your normal character!

Evolving Items: Earn new items that advance as you use them, becoming more powerful over time and unlocking hidden abilities and wield intelligent items with a personality of their own!

New Missions: Battle your way through over 60 new missions.

New Creatures, New Environments and New Encounters: Over 30 unique creatures and 7 Zones, 15 Small Instances, with a re-envisioned Nektulos Forest.

New Crafting, Spells, Items and More: New items and tradeskill recipes! Also new spells and alternate advancement abilities!

No what that plug really says is...

STEP RIGHT UP !! We have another blah expansion for you. With more blah zones that you will never see because your still trying to get through Gates of Discord and your too gimp to roll through our new zones anyway.

New Crafting, Spells, Items and More: New items and tradeskill recipes! Also new spells and alternate advancement abilities!

Well yes...you are still trying to craft that blessed coldain prayer shawl and you would like to try crafting from the millions of recipes from the 5 expansions after velious, but you are determined to try out tradeskills from our newest expansion in 1...2...10 years.

And more spells!! Woot. Sure you'll have to delete some from your spell book and they are only renamed older spells with 10 more damage added on.....but wow. You would buy the game for that new spell name alone....right?....

New items? Get outta here....You mean there is even more items? There hasn't been better news since a lottery for toilet paper was released in russia. Ok, I know we are saying there are thousands of new items with every expansion and you have only seen 2% of total items ever released but we need to make filler for our marketing campaign.

And yes more AA's. We thought that with over 850 available AA's now to each class, we want to secure our revenue buy adding 12,435 more AA's to keep you busy. Yes you will probably have to have your great, great, great grandchildren complete your goal of getting them all, but oohhhhh won't you feel good...........in the netherworld that is.......CAUSE YOUR DEAD DUMMY.

And as for the missions we've added. I was required by the CEO to say that anyone can do them regardless of level in order to boost player population and income, and well.....we know you can't get a refund for our game because we lied to you, moving on........

In order to attract new players, we had to come up with some lame ass new feature that we're not even sure works, thus we have the evolving items. Don't email me about this because it was added 3 hours ago and I know about as much as you do how it works.

Thanks again and please buy our new expansion. And you never know, you might even get to see one of the zones before our 123rd expansion comes out in 2007.

LMAO , Tray remover during lunchtime is too funny !!!

That would be pretty funny if it wasnt true.

Sweet jesus solid. That was freggin' hilarious. Thank you so much for that. It's so damn funny cause it's so true. Also, by adding new items, I am assuming they just added a few extra pieces of bread and maybe some bags. I mean, thats really all there is. You will never see every item in their db in your lifetime....

So we set out another expansion for the players 60-70 even though we've done the research and found most of our players range between 30 and 40. Whoot Way to go, yet another grand idea.

so the 11th will be do in November or so?


next thing they'll be adding is..."Real-time Shopping! Do /ebay and a web browser will pop up with ebay up and ready to go! No more minimizing and double-clicking the internet browser! We understand how each second is valuable!"


<.< gotta love Sony.

You forgot to mention..
 

Well going off the ebay idea, since they now support aftermarket selling of their items, or item purchasing from 3rd parties over EBAY.. they'll have a search feature for their item DB, you search for the item you want, enter your credit card money and THEY get the bonus... in in later expansions, since you can buy power leveling, you can just open a secured account interface ingame, to purchase levels and titles !!.... *sigh*

If the 30-40 crowd cant get through the tons of content thats already there, what point is there in making more content? Not only is their tons of content for them at those levels, theres tons of content ahead of them too.

I think its time they pissed and got off the pot.

Aside from all that. I'd love to see the results showing that most of the playerbase is 30-40.

yay another useless addon to eqlive
