    The ROTW and ToOW games were created on post-cu code.. but remember this. THE PRE-CU CODE IS STILL THERE. All the CU and nge mess was placed on top of the old code. They only gated off things like professions and added subroutines on top of the pre-cu code. It wouldn't take much to convert the expansions, and even the new nge crap to pre-cu since it is ALREADY THERE.


    I'm still waiting on Kramer's response. He's been quick before.10 minutes after I e-mailed him last time he responded and he sent the Smed fierd denial to MMORPG.COM.


    why does kramer respond to you? do u have press credentials?

    Sony Online Entertainment Announces The Serpent's Spine(TM) Expansion for EverQuest(R)

    Players Will Be Introduced to the Drakkin, the First New Player Race in More Than Three Years

    Sony Online Entertainment Announces The Serpent's Spine(TM) Expansion for EverQuest(R)

    SAN DIEGO, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE), a global leader in the online games industry, today announced EverQuest(R) The Serpent's Spine(TM), a new expansion for the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), EverQuest. EverQuest The Serpent's Spine will only be available via digital download beginning in September for the suggested price of U.S. $29.99.

    "In an ongoing commitment to introducing new features into EverQuest, The Serpent's Spine introduces the Drakkin, the first new player race since the Frogloks were added to the game seven expansions ago," said Chris Sturr, Senior Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment. "In addition to the new race, players of all levels will benefit from this expansion, as we are including content for levels 1 to 75."

    Players will also be able to explore a new starting city, Crescent Reach, which contains merchants, quests and combat. As in the last expansion, there will be new dynamic features such as auras, traps and destructible terrain. Players will be able to reach level 75 with new spells, raids and abilities.

    About EverQuest The Serpent's Spine

    Nestled in a great ravine in the Serpent Spine Mountains is an ancient abandoned ogre city now called Crescent Reach, which is home to a new race born to protect the future of dragon kind, the Drakkin. Six dragons defied the council of the ancient dragons of the Nest and chose to create a new race to protect their future. The Drakkin are borne of humans touched by a dragon's blood and their colors and appearance represent the dragon that created them. Rapidly aging and reaching maturity in only months, the Drakkin forget their human beginnings and make their pilgrimage to Crescent Reach, the home of their dragon creators and the rest of their kind. EverQuest The Serpent's Spine features the following:

      *  New Player Race: The Drakkin have been created from both human and
    dragon blood to protect the future of all dragon kind. Several colors
    and customizations will be available to make each Drakkin character
    unique, such as elegant scale markings and horns.

    * Level Cap Increase: Players can now reach level 75, complete with new
    spells, abilities, raids and quests for greater power.

    * Content for Levels 1 to 75: Play through every level of the game
    without ever leaving the Serpent Spine Mountains.

    * New Starting City: Crescent Reach is a fully functioning city with all
    that is required to learn and thrive in EverQuest, including merchant,
    quest, combat and tradeskill areas.

    * Dynamic Features: New zones, NPCs, destructible and interactive
    objects.

    * New AAs, Spells: Experience new spells and Alternative Advancement
    abilities.

    The EverQuest base game is required for this expansion. For more information on EverQuest The Serpent's Spine, please visit: http://everquest.station.sony.com/ss/

    Not related IMHO. Looks like community portal. That service, which was also advertised on E3.

    You can also try www.eq2players.com or www.eqplayers.com or even planetsideplayers.com.

    hummm, While I think its fake, I could see it happenning soon or later,  Hell the Emu went open source, And they are making progres FAST!  character creation is working, so is chatting and the beguinning of combat/tef etc...  SOE only has 1 optiong, and that is to release a pre-cu server, Or they are doomed when the EMu is completed.

    I think this press realease is on the up and up.

    Reason:  You see no mention of swgplayers.com on anything prior to this release.

    Darn it - What is this all over my crystal ball?

    It Kinda smells like... and tastes like...

    Ohhh.  you guys are A**Holes.

    I'm still waiting on Kramer's response. He's been quick before.10 minutes after I e-mailed him last time he responded and he sent the Smed fierd denial to MMORPG.COM.

    why does kramer respond to you? do u have press credentials?


    Yup.


    sweet. at least SOMEONE in the press knows what a disaster SOE is. u should write a book about their trials and tribulations. it's the best soap opera around.

    I'm leaning towards the word "classic" being what they are calling the nge. A marketing gimmick meant to deviously fill us all with hope, and get the really gullable to re-subscribe.

    I hope I'm wrong...
