EverQuest II continues to look impressive, and with Sony Online's considerable experience, it's easily one of the most promising massively multiplayer games on the horizon. Interestingly, the publisher plans to offer a standard monthly subscription for the game, along with the Sony Online "all access" bundled subscription, which lets players access all of the studio's games (except Star Wars Galaxies) for a flat rate of $21.95 per month. In addition, the studio is doing everything possible to keep the system requirements relatively low; the game is planned to allow play on a computer with a 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, and a 64MB video card, though this setup won't allow for the game's full graphical splendor. We'll be hearing more about EverQuest II as we approach the beta test, which should begin in a few months. The game itself is scheduled to ship later this year.
