SOE Fan Faire '07: EQ2: Rise of Kunark Expansion Discussion

Posted August 10th, 2007 by Shayalyn

So, How Many Trains Did KC Serve Again?

One of the highlights of SOE's 2007 Fan Faire was finding out more about new game expansions in development. EverQuest 2's  the Rise of Kunark is scheduled for release in November and plans to add some very interesting content. Tony "RadarX" Jones was on hand to listen to questions about epic weapons, contested raiding, and even a surprise unannounced feature. Don't miss out on hearing about one fo the most interesting sessions of the event.

At Gamer's Day a few months back SOE announced it's upcoming EverQuest 2 expansion the Rise of Kunark. Based on the lore surrounding the first EverQuest 1 expansion they appear to be attempting to duplicate their success with Echoes of Faydwer by using a familiar area. While Ten Ton Hammer brought you a video interview of EverQuest 2 Producer Scott Hartsman showing the game during E3, there was an entire group of developers currently working on the expansion ready to field questions. Some of the developers in attendance (and I apologize we were in the back of the room so I know I didn't see one or two) included Lead Designer Akil "Lyndro" Hooper, and Designers Steve "Saavedra" Kramer, and Liz "Feconix" Sigmund.

C'mon, you know you miss those Karnor's Castle trains. Relive some Kunark memories and check out RadarX's coverage of the expansion discussion, then talk about it in our forum.
