It is hard to believe that Everquest 2 is more than six years old. Destiny of Velious, the series’ seventh expansion, reminds us why this grand daddy of online role-playing games is still around. Three major introductions – public quests, flying mounts and item stat changes – inject new life into the series.
Continuing the series’ storyline, this instalment transports players to the icy continent Velious. The dreaded Ages End, a doomsday prophecy portending the end of the universe, continues to tick on as players race to avert disaster.
Public quests – in which players can join or leave a dynamically changing battle at any time – are great fun. Players can play solo if no one else is around to help and still get some decent loot. However, the fun starts only if more join in the battle, as the difficulty scales up and rewards become bigger.
