If you’ve been playing the free version of Everquest II and are interested in what those elite gold members are doing, you’re in luck: Sony is allowing … Continue reading “Everquest 2: Extended Free Gold Weekend”
A great man once told me, “mark my words, Everquest II will have a big server merge less than six months after it goes free to play.” I can’t recall who said this, and thanks to the wonders of corrupt hard drives and lack of backup copies I no longer have his name … Continue reading “By The Way: Everquest II Server Mergers Abound”
If Sony Online Entertainment’s abbreviated name was NSD, I could point out that their name could also spell out Never Shuts Down. However, since it doesn’t, I’m stuck with my next best idea: Soldier On, Edith which, although surely touching to anyone named Edith who enjoys Sony’s products, only appeals to a limited audience.

Today’s news brings the announcement that Sony Online … Continue reading “Everquest II Heading Free To Play…Partially.”

Not just any sparkling horse, a sparkling horse that generated millions of dollars for Blizzard over the course of just one day. Back in May, Sony Online Entertainment announced that Everquest II would be receiving a similar update. This horse, featuring … Continue reading “Shut Up, Everquest, Get On My Horse”

I hope they don’t turn my favorite MMO into a cash-shop money farm for casual kiddies who want to pay to win,” and quite frankly your fears would be justified. … Continue reading “Everquest II Has No Room For You F2P Folk”
So it’s been a bad month or so for MMO servers. We know that Vanguard is on the verge of server mergers, and that Aion is to shut down several servers, and that Everquest 2 may be getting some servers shut down on the horizon. New word comes from Sony that beginning June 20th, Sony … Continue reading “Sorry Grandpa: Everquest Server Merges Coming”
Here at MMO Fallout, a game doesn’t have to be doing great, or doing poorly in order to make the news. In fact, you’ll frequently find that most of my articles tend to cover MMOs in the lower indie section (Mortal Online, Cryptic Studios, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, CCP, and Fallen Earth LLC), for a reason … Continue reading “The Future of Everquest II Looks Very Good”
