[RSS FEED]

Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the launch date of Underfoot, EverQuest's 16th expansion, has been pushed back to Dec. 15. SOE made the move "to ensure that we can give our players the best possible gameplay experience and the amount of content that they've come to expect." The expansion was originally scheduled to be released on Nov. 24.

Of course, this means some of the Road to Underfoot details have changed as well. You now have until 11:59 p.m. PST on Dec. 1 to participate in all three events and pre-order the expansion in order to gain early access to Underfoot on Dec. 8.
