EverQuest II Desert of Flames Released

SOE has just released the first EQ2 expansion pack EverQuest II Desert of Flames. The expansion introduces player-versus-player combat, new game areas and more all for just $29.99 US.

"We're very excited to have Desert of Flames out there for everyone to enjoy," said Scott Hartsman, senior producer for EverQuest II. "The Arabian nights themed areas in this classic fantasy setting made for a place to adventure like nothing we've done before in this game."

In Desert of Flames, players will experience exciting gameplay-changing features and can explore never-before-seen areas filled with new quests, monsters, and loot. Desert of Flames is centered around the newly discovered, vibrantly colorful city of Maj'dul. Set in an Arabian nights theme, players can choose to battle in special new arenas either against other players or against creatures in a new style of player-versus-player combat called Arena Champions. Other exciting features include a dozen new zones and epic encounters, over 30 new creatures, a level range increase to 60 for all players, and new voice-over emotes for player characters.

Players who purchase Desert of Flames at a retail store will get a magic genie bottle that will whisk them away to a secret location, and a special gazing orb for your character. In addition to in-game items, customers that purchase the retail version will also receive a poster map of the Isle of Ro. Those who purchase Desert of Flames digitally from Sony Online Entertainment will receive both the genie bottle and an in-game painting for their character's house.
