The trip down memory lane continues with this fall's expansion pack, Rise of Kunark. The "spiritual successor" to one of the original EverQuest's most enduring expansion packs, Rise of Kunark takes players back to the jungle islands of the original game, but with a twist. They promise a mix of nostalgic and brand new zones for players to explore. This is a careful balance for the EQII team, Hartsman told us. On one hand, they're hoping to bring in more of the old EverQuest players, but on the other, it cannot be such a throw back that new players get lost. In many ways, the nostalgia is like an Easter egg for longtime fans who will get a kick of seeing brand new versions of areas they loved, while brand new players will just wander on through and enjoy the new content for what it is.
