It has been quite some time since we last heard of EverQuest, the MMORPG that was all the rage a decade ago, with many people dubbing it EverCrack. Well, its throne has long been taken over by Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, but there is still a sizeable following for the EverQuest game, and we are pleased to announce that Sony Online Entertainment has just announced the latest expansion to the game’s universe in the form of EverQuest II Sentinel’s Fate, allowing gamers worldwide to log-in and immerse themselves in this new expansion. It is the sixth expansion for the groundbreaking EverQuest II franchise, where the all-in-one compilation pack will be available at select retail stores on February 16, 2010, where it will go for $39.99 before tax, while others who opt a greener route can always go online for digital downloads from February 23, 2010 onwards.

EverQuest II Sentinel’s Fate transports players into a universe of legend and lore where exploration is just the beginning. It includes many highly-detailed areas that are fondly remembered from the original EverQuest, as well as brand new areas to discover. Players can now explore the fabled lands of Odus, filled with epic quests, magnificent dungeons and limitless content providing the ultimate MMO experience for new players and seasoned veterans alike. Sentinel’s Fate presents the next chapter of the EverQuest II legacy which has been written by the passion of players and fueled by the hunger for adventure. Retail customers will enjoy up to a 7-day head start of gameplay access before the digital release. Customers who purchase the Collector’s Edition will receive an exclusive Armored Highland Stalker in-game mount with matching pewter figurine.

Those who are EverQuest II subscribers and own characters level 80 to 90 are able to participate in the ultimate PvP with the complimentary addition of Battlegrounds. What is Battlegrounds?
