----------[Section 1 - What is Everquest II?]----------(s1e2)
Everquest II... A world that you become part of when you make your character.
This game is big (massive), many people play it (multiplayer), its online
(online), its a RPG... PRESTO! you have an addicting MMORPG, that your entire
life will center around.
If you are an EQII expert, you really don't need to listen to this, so feel
free to read on. If not, let me tell you some things about the game.
Everquest II (www.everquest2.com) has a monthly fee of $14.99, but you can
get some nice little add-ons costing $.99 each, plus you can get more
character slots, (for those who are very addicted), for $21.99 per month.
The actual cost of the game is around $25 (depending on where you shop)
This game has many adventure packs and expansion packs, adding to the huge
number of quests and expanding the already huge map, while adding lots of
new items and weapons. The adventure packs are free if you choose the
$21.99 subscription, but cost about a one time only fee of $5. The expansions
will run you a bit more, at about $20 each.
