Sony Online Entertainment has introduced a new type of subscription for its MMORPG EverQuest II.
The new subscription type, called "Passport," costs $5.00. It grants players any 3 consecutive days during a 30-day month to play EQII with full-access. Playing beyond those three days requires a full monthly subscription.
Earlier this month, Everquest 2 announced a new loot box system that bypassed lockouts and provided the chance to buy more opportunities at raid gear through the cash shop.
Beta testing for the Visions of Vetrovia expansion of Darkpaw Games’ MMO EverQuest 2 is under way and now available to those who purchase one of the four available editions.
In a press release, EG7 Global announced to have entered into an agreement to acquire 100% shares of Daybreak Game Company for $300 million.
DC Universe? Is this the same company that left Sony, not PlayStation? If so, maybe PlayStation should have snatched them uo and fully integrate them into the fold.
Hope this means they’ll get the resources to keep improving. The DCUO broker economy has been broken for over a year. Can no longer share my millions between toons, meanwhile everything is overpriced. Worked hard trading legit. Bummer.
Sounds like a ripoff to me pay 1/3 of the sub and only get 1/10 of the full sub time.
people still play this?
Everquest lost its steam years ago, WOW is next.
First let me say that EQ2 is a very good game, just because it doesn’t have 50 million people playing it, doesn’t make it bad. I prefer Lord of the Rings, but I am subbed to both games currently.
The $5.00 for 3 days is awesome, especially for my nephew who is in college and only gets to play one weekend a month. I think SOE is thinking outside the box on this topic. I hope to see other companies do different things for people with less time on their hands.
