The world of EverQuest ramps up the action in Norrath.
It was only a matter of time before the world of EverQuest expanded beyond its MMORPG borders. Champions of Norrath is an action/RPG in the same spirit and presentation as genre favorites Diablo and Baldur?s Gate: Dark Alliance. It?s no surprise then that the developers behind the latter are now working on Champions with Sony Online Entertainment.Longtime EverQuest fans will be greeted by familiar locations, creatures, and items, although many of them have different characteristics now as Champions is set a few hundred years before the events of the current PC game. An evil has begun infecting the land, and you?ll have to journey from the forest of the wood elves all the way to the mysterious Planes. You can choose from five different races and character classes, and play as either a male or female adventurer.
The preview version controlled great and looked incredible. Four-player online play still has some kinks to work out, but it?s a great amount of fun already.
