Everquest II trailer reminds you it exists
Sony Online Entertainment has released a new trailer for, uh, Everquest II. Not for any particular reason, apparently – just in case you’re not aware of this MMORPG almost eight years and ten expansions post launch.
It’s quite pretty, actually, and a nice tribute to a series which pioneered much of the modern MMORPG. Check it out through the break. Maybe join a guild.
Everquest II’s next expansion, Age of Discovery, is due in November.
Thanks, Evil Avatar.
