Pull your excited face out of long-term storage, boys and girls, because EverQuest’s latest expansion is coming sooner than you’d think. In fact, Daybreak Game Company just announced that Claws of Veeshan is scheduled for a December 8th release.
Daybreak first revealed the expansion back in October, saying, “Our 27th Expansion for EverQuest is named Claws of Veeshan and continues the tales that began in Torment of Velious. Velious is overwhelmed with writhing ice. Frozen undead swarm everywhere. The few survivors that remain throw aside old hatreds — for now at least — and band together to survive.”
Players can pre-order the expansion for $35… if they want the basic, plain-Jane version. There’s also a collector’s edition for $90, a premium edition for $140, and a “Friends and Family Edition” for $250. No, that’s not a typo. Two-hundred and fifty dollars for a package that comes with a second, tradable copy of the expansion and some other goodies.
Hail Norrath! It's time to confront the forces that have been tormenting Velious and take the fight to those behind the attacks on the Continent. Your new adventure begins on December 8, 2020! https://t.co/xobdDHKdKt pic.twitter.com/JIdhZGbH6r

Imagine paying 250 bucks to play a game so bloated with numbers that a heal reaches millions.
I bet there’s a pretty good game hidden somewhere in there below layers upon layers of bloat
EQ1 could use a major squish or rebalance of sorts. But if you think WoW players were being babies about their squish, EQ1 vets would literally burn down the world…
Honestly don’t see the problem. I like the big numbers popping up. Makes you feel more powerful. Its an RPG after all.
