EverQuest’s 22nd Expansion Pack Incoming

In a forum post on Daybreak Games’ website, the team reveals plans to unveil a 22nd expansion pack for the long-running MMORPG EverQuest on October 1st, while also giving us a few preliminary details about the add-on. It’s hard to believe that the game continues to push forward even to this day, to the extent of fifteen new raids in a single expansion:

We are excited to announce we have an expansion on the way that’s right, expansion not (campaign.) As we’ve been toiling away this year, the content we’ve been working on evolved and grew more than we expected.

We wanted this expansion to have content that reached beyond the highest-level players. So, in addition to new and updated zones for levels 105, we are including two instanced raid zones for levels 75 to 105 to play in together! These (level agnostic) raid zones will balance themselves to the highest level player in your raid. It just so happens that these two level agnostic zones are the original Plane of Fear and Plane of Hate! So if you never got a chance to raid in those planes, or long for them, you can relive those days with a broader range of players when we launch.

This expansion includes over 15 raids after getting feedback for more raids over last year’s expansion and a ton of level-scaling missions and Heroic Adventures! And as with previous releases, there will be new AAs, spells, and gear. The story is innovative and impacts gameplay in interesting ways too.

In addition, if you purchase (or pre-order) the next expansion, you’ll also get access to ALL of the previous expansion content.

We’ll have the full expansion reveal and pre-orders for the 22nd expansion will start on Thursday, October 1, 2015 with detailed information on our website and forums. Also, the EQ team will host a livestream and share highlights, walk through some zones, and answer your questions!
