Overview
- Daybreak and independent studio Game Jawn unveiled EverQuest Legends on Tuesday, with a July PC launch planned and closed beta sign-ups open for April.
- The redesign lets players complete all content solo, with optional four-player groups and eight-player raids, which aims to fit shorter play sessions.
- Characters can equip up to three classes at once and customize gear, with 15 races, 560 class combinations, and item upgrades that boost equipment up to +10.
- At launch the game features Antonica before the Kunark expansion and uses the original 1999 graphics, zones, sounds, and music, with developers reporting restored particle-effect code.
- Media reports say Legends will operate outside EverQuest and EQ2 subscription and currency systems, so Kronos time-card tokens would not work and the in-game economy would start fresh.
