EQ2 - Boomtown hand in their report
Posted: February 20th, 2007, 12:16 pm
At one point the unrivalled king of massively multiplayer gaming in the West, Sony Online Entertainment has been playing catch up of late thanks to a certain game that took the fantasy MMORPG genre and made it a whole lot more accessible to the masses. As a result, Sony has made a few changes to its own game plan, with its flagship game, EverQuest II, having had quite a considerable makeover in terms of accessibility and ease of play since its launch in late 2004.
The result of this tinkering is its latest title, Everquest II: Echoes of Faydwer, intended not only as an introduction to the franchise for late adopters but also as a crow bar of sorts to try and wrench back the distinction of being the biggest player in the realm of massively multiplayer gaming. A bit of a tall order you might think, but Echoes of Faydwer comes close to pulling it off.
