EverQuest Platinum Expansion Bundle



EQLive has just announced a new expansion bundle... EverQuest Platinum. Nothing new or surprising there, right? I was thinking, like everyone else I am sure, that it's just another expansion offer, but then I saw the price... $29.99 for EVERY expansion and 30 days subscription. That includes Gates and Planes of Power. You can't argue with that price. Nice one Sony!

Here is the story as it appears on EQlive.Station.Sony.com:

    Internet Play:
    EverQuest is an internet-only game, requiring players to connect to Sony Online Entertainment servers via their own Internet connections for which they are responsible. Additional online fees and valid credit card required.


    Some of those requirements are really quite steep, come to think of it. Makes one wonder what they will be like for Omens of War.

    A little item of interest is the quoteing of over 400,000 players. To me this suggests that the game is still going strong, if true!
