Station Previews EQ2: The Rise of Kunark

Station has a preview of Sony Online Entertainment’s EverQuest: The Rise of Kunark.

Buried beneath a war-ruined land ravaged by centuries of conflict, a forgotten enemy rises. Exiled from their homeland and banished from Norrath’s history, an ancient race emerges to uncover artifacts long thought lost. Engage in all-new adventures as you embark on a crusade to reveal the truth of the wars between the reborn Iksar Empire and the Sarnak. Adventure awaits in the fabled land of Kunark.

The latest expansion adds a new players race, raises the level and achievement point cap and adds new mounts and gods to worship.

SOE is also offering a pre-order bonus incentive, the Burynai Seeker Housepet.

Burynai are a race of collectors and builders that have a strange affinity for certain organic items found in Norrath. Give a Burynai seeker one of these items, they’ll bury them and store them for later. Rumor has it that they also may sometimes discover collectible items (shinies) that you didn’t even know were lost under your home!

• Create a character on Kunark in the new starting city Timerous Deep! Explore the land as an all-new player race, The Sarnak.
• Journey beyond current limits with the new level cap increase from 70 to 80.
• Achievement point cap risen from 100 to 140.
• New zones, hundreds of new quests, collection quests, armor sets, weapons, and over 60 new creatures to fight!
• Explore the world on the shoulders of a new rampaging beast, the Kunarkian Rhinoceros! This new creature comes in varying types, available both as a guild and faction reward!
• Three new gods to worship – Bertoxxulus, Karana, and The Tribunal!
• Adaptive Combat Music! No longer a single theme, multiple dramatic themes play dynamically based on the strength of your opponent and the tide of combat.
