What would it be like to live and work inside a base located at the center of a volcano? Hot, you think? Probably hot. Air conditioning would be a concern. Yet in none of the pictures of Solusek Ro’s Tower in EverQuest II do we see sweaty mobs slumped on couches in their undies and fanning themselves. No sir; they are committed to wearing full armor and dying of heat stroke, it seems.
This look inside the volcano lair is but the latest of a preview series for EverQuest II: Planes of Prophecy. “The tower’s foundation lies deep,” Daybreak writes, “with lava flowing steadily throughout, forever altering and adding to the massive structure and filling every space with unbearable heat, making it inhospitable to any foreign entities who are not fully prepared to venture to this treacherous place. [It] may prove itself to be the most dangerous place you’ll have to go if you want to save Norrath.”
Planes of Prophecy is due to release next Tuesday, November 28th.
