Sony Online Entertainment announced today that EverQuest Online Adventures, its massively-multiplayer online role-playing game for the PS2, has gone gold and is scheduled to be available at North American retail stores on February 12.
EverQuest Online Adventures combines the best parts of console RPGs and massively multi-player online worlds. As a console RPG, there is a focus on exciting combat, questing and character development. Combat is fast and tactically rich, with each monster posing a unique challenge for the player. The world is laden with compelling quests and intriguing subplots. Players enhance their characters by discovering items and unlocking secret abilities. EverQuest Online Adventures takes place during the Age of Adventure; a time set approximately five centuries before the original EverQuest for the PC. Return to a time in Norrath’s past, when the city of Freeport was a new coalition of merchants and the elves have yet to abandon their ancient homeland completely. To the west, Antonius Bayle the Second has recently been crowned ruler of Qeynos. In the eastern lands, the once great Eldarr Forest has all but disappeared, its trees withering away as the once rich ground beneath it turns to desert sands. To the far north, on the frigid plains of Everfrost, many of the nomadic barbarian tribes have put aside their differences and banded together for survival. The city of Halas stands as a new concept to these proud warriors, opening communication and trade with other races for the first time in barbarian history. Fortunately the barbarians have found strong support in their endeavors, especially from the dwarven mining city of Moradhim nestled in the northern mountains. And, in the South, the swamplands provide a perfect home for the trolls of Grobb.
