Everquest Online Adventures Turns Four

Proof that many MMOs just never seem to die.

Sony Online Entertainment celebrates the fourth anniversary of EQOA with treasured gifts and special in game quests for all adventurers! Rejoice in the fourth year of the EQOA adventure by claiming your anniversary present today. Characters, level 15 and over, can claim an Anniversary Certificate, which will allow a second reset of their path abilities. Satisfied with your current path? Find a seller for this rare and unique item on auction or give it as a gift because it’s tradable. For those that haven’t quite made it to level 15, other unique and exciting gifts will be granted during the celebration to aide you along the adventure!

This anniversary also presents the prospect of peace in the land of Norrath…almost!

Assistance is needed to fight against invading forces storming the gates of Freeport, Halas, Forkwatch, Klick`Anon, Hazinak, and Misty Thicket. Quest in the name of Norrath and help these cities! Join the battle and you will be handsomely rewarded!

Commemorate the anniversary, collect exciting new rewards and embark on the new fast-action questing adventures that you have come to love, waiting for you in EQOA!

Okay, does anyone still even play EQ:OA? I remember beta testing it, and finding it to be a very ugly game, and the reliance on using the PS2's memory card was really a pain, especially if you only had one memory card. The controls were clunky, the gameplay was average at best...and when the beta was over, I never looked back.

While one expansion was released (Everquest Online Adventures: Frontiers), neither the original nor the expansion are in stock at many stores.

Seriously. Anyone playing this? Drop me a line, and let me know how it's running now? Oh, and happy anniversary...
