Recently, in an interview with some folks from Allakhazam, Scott "Gallenite" Hartsman announced the next EverQuest II expansion - titled Rise of Kunark - slated for release on November 13th, 2007.
The expansion takes place in the lands of Kunark, where the Sarnak - a new playable race - have been exiled to the Timorous Deep by the rebuilt Iksar Empire.
You'll be able to visit many nostalgic places from EverQuest; a few mentioned were The Emerald Jungle, Skyfire Mountains, Sebilis, Karnor's Castle, and Chardok.
While most of the content in Rise of Kunark is for players level 65-80, there is also low-level content for those who want to start a new Sarnak character; Timorous Deep will take you from level 1-20.
Features at a glimpse:
- Level cap raised to 80 for Adventurers, Crafters, and Guilds.
- New continent added to the game world: Kunark.
- Epic weapon quests added for all 24 classes, offering weapons for raiders and non-raiders alike.
- A new Rhinocerous mount.
- More deities return and influence the world of Norrath.
- Additional fabled and legendary armor sets.
