Sony’s Everquest II continues to soldier on with the release of the latest game update: Everquest II The Shards of Destiny.

Anyone who’s been into MMO’s for any amount of time (pre-WoW) can tell you that EQII is probably one of the most friendly and inviting communities on the scene, and the gameplay, while not quite so “pick up and play” as World of Warcraft, is user friendly and engaging. I haven’t been back to Norrath for a while, but this looks like a pretty extensive update, and may convince me to reactivate.

Features include:

• Chronomagic: Down-tier your level to experience content you may have previously missed while you were leveling up

• Enter the Shard of Love: For the first time ever, players will be able to explore the home of Erollisi Marr

• All new 4x Dungeon: Test your skills in Miragul’s Planar Shard

• Achievement System: Track and share your accomplishments with other players

• Housing Addition: All houses will receive a new room where you can use your creativity and expand your collections

Log in now and the Shards of Destiny update is there for the downloading.
