EverQuest used to be referred to as EverCrack as many people ended up hooked on this MMORPG which ruined lives and wrecked marriages, at least until World of Warcraft came about. Still, not to tarnish EverQuest’s mark in the world of MMORPG gaming, the title is still going strong after all these years with its band of loyal followers, and this time round there is a new expansion known as EverQuest Underfoot, making it the unparalleled 16th expansion for the EverQuest franchise, where one can download it digitally for $39.99. Sure beats heading out to the store and queueing up in a line to get your copy, eh?

Among the new features found in EverQuest Underfoot are :-

• New Content: New areas for adventurers to explore including Brell’s Rest, Pellucid Grotto, The Underquarry, Brell’s Arena, The Foundation, The Cooling Chamber, Arthicrex, Lichen Creep, Kernagir the Shining City, Fungal Forest, Volska’s Husk, and Brell’s Temple. Players can travel into Underfoot solo, with a group, or in raids to complete new quests, tasks, and events to acquire new items, spells, tradeskill recipes, and abilities.
• New Achievement System: Users can display and manage their progress through the world of Norrath. The achievement system allows players to track various categories of their advancement such as levels, Alternate Advancements, quest completions, and other progression tracking events. At the launch of Underfoot, players can track their General, Tradeskill and Underfoot progression Achievements.
• Extended Target Window: Players can now track friends and foes with greater accuracy. The target window now lets players assign people or group roles to specific locations on the window for easy re-targeting. Users can track main tank, raid tanks, main target, main assist, puller, etc., or just put a specific player or NPC in the window.
• Master Tradeskilling: Tradeskillers can create powerful new weapons, armor, food and drink items, poisons and more.

Anyone already made their purchase? How do you like this expansion compared to the previous 15 – is it more of the same old despite the new features, or are you totally rocked by what the developer has done with it?
