I got a chance to catch up with Everquest Senior Producer Clint Worley at E3 to chat about the state of Everquest the first, an eight year old MMO that is now readying its fourteenth expansion, Secrets of Faydwer. The expansion itself pushes the game's level cap to 80, which makes my moldering level 54 bard incredibly sad, especially considering how terribly behind I am in add-ons, not being able to keep up with the vigorous two a year schedule. Well that two-a-year schedule is now a one-a-year cycle in response to fans of the game that had the same trouble keeping up as I did. Worley said that the focus would be on keeping players in the game and continuing to provide premium free content throughout the year to reward the die-hard fans that make up a subscriber base still larger than its successor, Everquest 2. So what about us old-timers interested in getting back into the game? From now on, every new expansion will be packaged with all the expansions before it, making catching up as easy as waiting for Secrets of Faydwer to hit stores this November. Is that the sweet sound of Selo's I hear in my future?
