Everquest’s Veil of Alaris Expansion Now Available

SOE’s 18th expansion for Everquest went live earlier today, following up on the previous House of Thule expansion and tasking players with exploring the continent of Alaris; a long hidden land of magic where even gods are under threat.

“As the EQ epic continues to expand through new journeys, storyline twists and in-game features with Veil of Alaris, we find it more and more important to keep the content and on-going saga as rich and compelling as possible while also holding true to the expectations of our incredibly loyal community,” said lead designer Thom Terrazas.
