Last month at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire, the EverQuest team announced that they've been hard at work on the 16th expansion simply titled "Underfoot". Curiosity got the best of ZAM, so they sat down with their old friend Ryan Barker from the EverQuest development team to find out what they can expect in the next expansion.

EverQuest fans, Underfoot just got bigger and better. Sony Online Entertainment debuted the exclusive new Convorteum zone in their expansion today, offering even more new content for players. The Convorteum brings six new raids, a new mission, and multiple new quests to the game.

EverQuest players venture into the undiscovered underground of Norrath today with the launch of EverQuest Underfoot, the game's 16th expansion, which adds new areas, master tradeskilling, and an achievement system to the 10-year-old MMO.
EverQuest Underfoot, available today at EverQuest.com for $39.99, substantially adds to Norrathian real estate by going deeper underground than ever before. Players can expect to encounter plenty of new creatures as they venture forth, hunting for tradeskill recipes so they can make the powerful new items afforded by the addition of Master Tradeskilling.
Anyone that used to play Evequest (or anyone curious about old school MMO games in general) should check out the Evercracked movies they did recently on IGN with Jace Hall.

Now THAT is how you support a game. 16 expansions!! Wow!! I missed playing this game :(. And no, I don't play World of Warcraft....I quit playing that October 31, 2006.
I play EQ and have since the first expansion released on and off. I must say SOE really upped the difficulty and made a really challenging expansion. No longer can we just run across a zone without difficulty. Everyone has to play their class perfectly or things go bad quick.
(I as well as other received access to this last week for pre ordering, before anyone says I cant judge it in one day)

EverQuest® Underfoot, the 16th expansion from the groundbreaking EverQuest franchise. The expansion, scheduled to launch on December 15, 2009, is now available for pre-order for the suggested retail price of $39.99 (plus applicable taxes).
