Yesterday Sony Online Entertainment released the latest expansion for that little behemoth of a title known as EverQuest. EverQuest: Rain of Fear continues where the story from Veil of Alaris and House of Thule left off, now leaving players to collect the pieces of the stolen power of Fear which are physically falling from the sky. That’s right, the expansion title is quite literal and not at all symbolic. Fear is legitimately raining down.

“In its 14^th year of continuous development, the EverQuest team continues to release high-quality, immersive content for EverQuest,” said Thom Terrazas, Producer, EverQuest. “Rain of Fear adds a huge volume of new content to the game, and it finally breaks the three-digit barrier by raising the level cap to 100. We believe players will love adventuring through the new content and revisiting classic zones with exciting new encounters.” 

In addition to more story for fans to lose themselves in, EverQuest: Rain of Fear will also include:

• Level cap increase from 95 to 100 – Players can now achieve a new max level of 100 and set a new standard of gameplay.  

• Slayer System – Players can gain special rewards and titles for defeating large numbers of foes.

• Aggro Meter – A brand new tool to help players better manage their aggro. Players can now see their aggro level relative to their group.  

• Collection System – Players can discover items throughout Norrath and collect sets for exciting rewards and titles.

• Improved Brokering System – Players can now sell items in the Bazaar while being offline! More flexibility as a buyer to search and purchase from anywhere in the world.  

• New Linear Item Progression – Stats on armor collected will increase as players move up from one tier to another.

• Customization with Non-Visible Armor – All non-visible armor in Rain of Fear can now be worn by all. Players can customize their stats for every encounter.

• Class-specific Stat distribution – Players can now collect items that are designed specifically for each classes’ abilities.

• Legends of Norrath™ – 5 Legends of Norrath Legacies Digital Booster Packs.
