The news this week in MMOs was a bit scarce, unless it was huge news that hit the front page – which a lot of it did.

However, there were other things going on: a new faction for EVE Online, bonus goodies for EverQuest II, content changes for Guild Wars, and a few other things you can read about on past the break.

TGS is coming up, so who knows what lies in store for us by way of new announcements.

What a week. Hit the page fold for the rest.

Also, Warhammer and LotRO are celebrating the summer with festivities to make things a bit more zany and fun.

Find out all about these and others after the break.

Rumor has it that Sony Online Entertainment has filed a US trademark for the titles EverQuest: Underfoot and EverQuest II: Sentinel’s Fate.

Curse found the information and granted, EQ fans are always up for a new expansion, but don’t take it as a sure thing until something is announced.

Not that the US Trademark site would lie or anything, just sayin’.

The SOE Fan Faire is next week so maybe we will know more then.

Thanks, Massively.

Not much going on with MMOs this week, but what little there is, we thought we’d share with you.

Those who play Lord of the Rings Online should take a look at the changes coming to Bree, EVE Online players were ripped-off, Star Trek Online added  timelines, an EverQuest documentary is coming to Fan Faire 2009, and Final Fantasy XI is getting an update in July.

Not much this week for MMOs, sorry to say. Most are just giving players an “extra experience weekend” to lull them into playing on the PC instead of being outside grilling burgers and getting bent on beer.

Well, if you are an American that is expected of you this weekend. Most of us just do that anyway.

However, despite all that, we have dug through the mire once more to bring you something in the way of MMO news that didn’t hit the front page.

It’s all after the break, if you like.

Tuesday, March 10 will henceforth be known as Sony Online Entertainment Day — at least in San Diego, CA.

On that day, SOE’s John Smedley will be presented with an official proclamation from the city council to commemorate the 10th anniversary of EverQuest.

The dedication is to thank SOE for it’s community support.

If you live there, or plan on being in the San Diego area, you can attend the proceedings. Hit the link for more information on locations, etc.

Sony Online Entertainment’s MMOs – including EverQuest, EverQuest II, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and Pirates of the Burning Sea – are now available on Steam.

To make the deal even sweeter, Valve’s offering special offers on some of the games while they’re new on the service.

Get details here.

SOE’s introducing micro-payments to both EverQuest and EverQuest II, Eurogamer reports.

The firm’s launched StationCash, a virtual currency for use in the MMOs. One hundred SC costs $1, €1 or £0.80.

It can be used at an in-game marketplace to buy armour, potions.

The beginning of the end. More through the link.

It is what it is. And what it is is below:

• The Agency (PC, PS3)
• Free Realms (PC, PS3)
• EverQuest II (PC)
• EverQuest (PC)
• Legends of Norrath: Oathbreaker (PC)
• Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (PC)

It’s all been added to IGN’s Big E3 List, which you may as well bookmark.

SOE’s offering incentives for lapsed players to get back into EverQuest, as detailed by its Living Legacy campaign. If you’ve ever trialled or subbed to either the original MMO or its sequel, you can play for free up to the end of July, and you could win up to 20 months’ free subscription. Bargain. Take a look.
