In March of 1999, the upstart studio Verant Interactive created a little game called EverQuest. Who knew that 11 years later we would still see growth from the spearhead MMO of the company now called Sony Online Entertainment? Last week at SOE Fan Faire, the developers announced that EverQuest will see its 18th expansion, Veil of Alaris, sometime in November of this year.
SOE promises to reveal more about this about this hidden continent of Norrath in the coming months, In a post on the official forums, the community manager reiterated that the level-cap increase and the guild-hall revamp will be added to the game with this expansion. However, the true reason behind the post was to show off the new screenshots from the land of Alaris.
Keep in mind that this game is 11 years old when you gaze at these screenshots of the deadly Resplendent Temple, mysterious Windsong Oratory Crypt, and beautiful Rubak Oseka in the gallery below.

Wowow, those look amazing, really sharp and nicely colourful too. What's the schtick with this place?

18th! Expansion! Wow!
I wonder what they plan to do if/when they get to the 20th. I hope they do something big.
The first 2 pictures looked great, but the last one..... Perhaps too many colors :), it just looked silly.

Ahem. March 1999 to July 2011 is a little over twelve years.

Shh! Don't bother them with math; they're journalists. That whole remedial freshman algebra thing is a traumatizing memory for them. =oP

Also keep in mind that those areas that are 11 years old still look as they did 11 years ago.
