Fifteen years ago I almost started an arduous trek down a very dangerous rabbit hole. I installed Everquest on my PC and luckily most of my friends weren’t playing so I avoided its clutches. I then saw the power of it in full effect with my roommate my Freshman year of college as I had a roommate who literally spent 14 hour binges without leaving his desk.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a gamer and have gone to extremes but even that was a bit too much for me. Since, I have carefully navigated past the waters of various MMOs like City of Heroes, World of Warcraft and DC Universe Online only getting just a taste and not allowing myself to be caught in their web.

Just over a week ago, those who have been stuck in the Evercrack trap found out they will be returning to it with Everquest Next. While Everquest II floundered, players maintained a strong base into Everquest even well into the days of World of Warcraft’s reign. Now, they will be rewarded with a new MMO that redefines the rules for what people expect from a massively multiplayer online RPG. You’ll be able to see a highlight of all the new features in the video below.

What is most exciting is that players can already begin signing up to Beta test the game. You can head to their website here and try to get in the Beta testing registration group by using their preexisting Station account.

Everquest Next will be a Free to Play MMORPG with a horde of new features to the series and available on PC. Currently, there is a mobile app Everquest Worlds available on iOS and Android that will allow players to unlock in game features for Everquest Next by linking in to their social media accounts.

    been using? I’m having some minor security problems with
    my latest website and I would like to find something more
    safe. Do you have any recommendations?
