EverQuest Producer Thom Terrazas has just announced that EverQuest is Going Free to Play in early March.
With EverQuest II's transition to a free-to-play business model being met with massive success, it was only a matter of time before SOE did the same with the original title.
MMORPG EverQuest, which launched in 1999, is plagued with cheaters. Sony Online Entertainment is fed up. So you better watch out, cheaters!
They say that you learn something new every day; Today I learned that people still play Everquest on PC. Seriously you guys still play Everquest? And what's even crazier is the fact the still release expansion packs for this game. How many does that make sixty seven of them? Ok apparently there have only been seventeen of them, but even so that is still a lot of content. The eighteenth expansion, the Veil of Alaris, is set to be released later this year.
As part of Sony Online Entertainments (SOE) restoration of services, the publisher is demanding that all registered members reset their password upon logging into any area of the network for the first time, just as is the case with the PlayStation Network restoration process. The Station Service is once again available for account holders to log in and update their personal information, though game servers remain offline currently.
Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) wants to make all of this downtime up to their valued customers.
Sony Online Entertainment has just announced on their Facebook page that their servers will not be returning this weekend. Remember that this is not for the PlayStation Network, but only for SOE servers. Stay tuned for more information.
Following the reports that Sony Online Entertainments (SOE) online network has been taken offline the company has begun contacting registered members of its service. Offering official comment on the situation and advising consumers with what to do, the situation is all too familiar at present.
In the wake of last week's layoffs, fans are no doubt wondering which of their favorite Sony Online Entertainment MMOs will be feeling a possible staffing pinch. The company's venerable EverQuest title is apparently safe -- and none the worse for wear -- according to a letter by producer Thom Terrazas that was posted last night on the game's official forums.
While many gamers will absolutely love Sony's new Progression Everquest server, many others will yearn for something more authentic. Luckily, Project 1999 has been up and running since 2009 now, and is a near perfect emulation of classic Everquest. Amazingly, the team behind Project 1999 has painstakingly revived classic Everquest, even down to adding in zones like the Temple of Solusek Ro, the Planes of Fear, Hate and Sky, and taking away infamous drops like Rubicite and Manastones - all on a timed schedule aimed at emulating Everquest's original patches.
