worldwide leader in massively multiplayer online gaming, announced that it
is adding a new server to meet customer demand for EverQuest(r) Online

The new server is scheduled to go online Friday, March 7, before noon

about as they begin unique adventures with a world full of new friends."

what they've been looking for with non-stop action, the opportunity to
explore an exciting new land, a world of fun and interesting people to meet
and play with, quests, combat and more. The game has a suggested retail
price of $49.99, which includes a 30-day free trial to the game's online
world, and all that it has to offer. Additionally, EverQuest Online
Adventures carries a monthly subscription fee of $9.99 per person for
continuing access to the game world. Players can subscribe for additional
months using a credit card, or by purchasing EverQuest Online Adventures
Game Cards, which open the world of Norrath to PlayStation 2 owners that
