EverQuest: Seeds of Destruction out today

EverQuest: Seeds of Destruction out today

I have to say, I kind of admire gamers who've stuck with EverQuest through a massive 15 expansions. Seeds of Destruction is the latest in the series, and a bunch of goodies are here for you on it. You can view some old Oceangreen Hills and The Void screenshots through the game's profile to the right, as well as an old preview video and "The Void" trailer, but the most recent of the bunch, the launch trailer, is right here. The trailer coincides with the game's release, which is today. The MSRP for the digital download is $39.99.

Here are the new features:

• Mercenaries – Player-controlled NPCs are now available! These role archetypes will scale to the appropriate level and will think and act for themselves with limited player guidance. Designed for extra support or extra muscle in PvE encounters, Mercenary archetypes include a variety of classes from all playable races. There are some rare non-playable races available to recruit as well!
• Level Cap Increase – Players can now achieve level 85! New high-level item sets, new alternate advancement ability lines and new spells await!
• 20 New Zones – Features re-imagined classic content and brand-new realms for adventurers to explore, including the eerie wasteland of the Void, the Battle of Rathe on the Plane of Earth and the ultimate heart of darkness in the Plane of Discord.
• Includes all features and content from the 14 previous expansion packs.
• Includes Legends of Norrath digital card game client, with starter deck, booster pack and loot item.

And the trailer!
