Everquest House of Thule Expansion
In the last Las Vegas Fan Faire event, SOE announced the 17th expansion for Everquest. The legend of the game that changed massive multiplayer online gaming forever, continues with EverQuest: House of Thule, set to launch next October 12. Let’s see some of the new features we’ll have in the new HOT expansion.
At last!! HOT brings Player Housing with it!! After all these years, this was one of the features EQ fans were asking for over and over. Housing systems are one of the most immersive things in MMOs, you get the feeling of belonging to the world you’re playing in, while supporting the social part of the game heavily. In HOT you’re going to get two housing plots at launch. Those plots can be in several neighborhoods and can hold a house each. You’ll be able to buy different sized houses for those plots. This way, you’re even able to create a guild neighborhood with all your guildies placing their houses together… cool thing!
A new Trophy System is being implemented, letting you show your acomplishments through it. You can display your trophies and gain some benefits after you leave the safety of your home and start adventuring. You don’t want to stay away from battle forever, do you?
More AAs. Yes, you can customize your skills even more with over 800 new ones. You had thousands to make your character a powerful being, now you’re gonna be a demigod. Remember: grinding is good.
More levels. So you think you’re over with leveling? Nope. HOT increases level cap to 90, 5 more levels to fight for, bringing new tiers of gear and leting your character be distinguished from the rest.
More inventory space. Always good to have an extra when you need to store all those heavy bags, chests, backpacks and so on, full of so many things you don’t even remember what they are for. Cool feature, we all need a lot of storage space in any MMO.
In addition to all this, you’ll have 450+ new spells, 120+ new quests, 18 new raids areas, 13 new zones, 17 missions, lots of new housing items and more. So let’s say ye olde EQ is healthy, strong, alive and kicking. Grats to all its fans, EQ is about to ding! once more.
