EverQuest II: Empire Of Antiquity Launched This Week

EverQuest II: Empire Of Antiquity has officially launched this week, as you will now explore the darker reaches of Norrath.

Darkpaw Games has officially launched the latest update for EverQuest II, as players will be able to explore the trials and tribulations of the Empire of Antiquity. This will take you on a journey through Norrath, or to be more specific, some of the lesser-traveled aspects of the region, as you'll come across a new Overseer, a new dungeon, new raids, new tradeskills to master, and more. We have some of the info on what you can experience below, as the full list of notes is on their latest blog.

"You've braved the reopening of the Elddar city of Takish'Hiz and helped defeat Malachiel Caedor. And now that the Renewal of Ro has come to fruition, it's time to explore the darker reaches of Norrath. Whispers and rumors abound that there is new power to be collected, and it has been inspiring historians, treasure seekers, and devoted worshipers to inspect every square inch of the region. Empire of Antiquity introduces all new, powerful artifacts that can be discovered along with impressive arcanum which you can learn as you investigate the history of the Elddar Empire. Along the way, you'll need to battle some aggressive aspects of Growth while also protecting the Empire from terrors outside and even inside the realm."

Forever locked in the stillness. The wind has brought news of the growth attempting to take hold but yet, the curse remains. Can you and your allies brave the guardians of the stone deep?
