Ragnarok Online Entertainment has announced expansions for its EverQuest MMOs at its annual Fan Faire convention in Las Vegas.
The sixth expansion for EverQuest II will have the title Sentinel's Fate. It will increase the level cap to 90 ragnarok zeny.
Sentinel's Fate will allow you to play older, low-level content with a high-level character and still gain experience. Ragnarok Online is also integrating various achievements into the game, such as killing 10,000 orcs or reaching level 80 with multiple characters.
Additionally, Ragnarok Online announced the 16th expansion for the original EverQuest. Called Underfoot, it will allow you to explore a new underground zone.
