EverQuest II: Kingdom of Sky Preview

GameSpot has put together a short preview of EverQuest II: Kingdom of Sky, after spending some firsthand time with the upcoming MMORPG expansion pack. Take a look:

Kingdom of Sky will feature many new wide-open areas for players to explore that really highlight the vastness of the world. The game’s areas will feature rockier, more-uneven terrain, as well as many more height differences–you’ll be able to ride sliding platforms to ascend to majestic towers, and you’ll also be able to fall off the edge of a floating sky fragment. However, falling off of a cliff won’t always be a bad thing–you’ll actually be able to jump from waterfalls and land on the sky islands below, or sniff out hidden areas. You’ll even be able to scale certain walls to find hard-to-reach places. Exploring new areas will be one way to earn the expansion pack’s new achievement points, which will accumulate separately from your character’s regular experience-point total.
