Kunark Everquest II Expansion Detailed

Sony releases details on their latest expansion pack for Everquest II, slated for release in November of this year.

Sony Online Entertainment today unveiled their fourth expansion pack for their popular online role-playing game Everquest II. This latest expansion, Rise of Kunark, is expected to be in stores sometime around November 13 with retail price of around $40. Those who purchase the expansion pack will receive the base game, other three expansion packs and a special in-game pet.

Rise of Kunark, according to SOE, "introduces a new playable race, the Sarnak. This dragon-like humanoid inhabits the jungle islands of Timorous Deep, a new starting location for adventurers. Timorous Deep presents a wealth of new
content for levels 1-20, and is one of the many new zones being developed for this expansion. Many of these zones are based on favorite gameplay areas from the original EverQuest, such as Karnor’s Castle, the Lake of Ill Omen, Sebilis and Veeshan’s Peak. Guilds, adventurers, and artisans can expect to benefit from a raised level cap, as all level caps are raised to 80, in addition to new solo, group, and raid content for levels 65-80.

Hundreds of new quests will be added to the expansion, promising exciting adventures and encounters, including class Epic Weapon quests for all classes. Players will also be able to explore this new world astride a new mount — the rampaging Kunarkian Rhino. Dozens of new NPCs, as well as a host of new weapons and armor await players as they explore and unravel the mysteries surrounding the beautiful, yet dangerous continent of Kunark."
