It is amazing how a game that was so much a part of my life years ago can now sneak up on me with an expansion when I'm not looking. I received a slew of screenshots for the new Everquest expansion The Buried Sea sometime last night, and when I looked online to find a release date, I discovered that it was yesterday. The update introduces new missions, guild banners, powered armor of sorts, and ship-to-ship pirate combat, furthering the confusion between this and Pirates of the Burning Sea. Amazing how well the game is holding up after what, eight years? Michael Fahey
