Halas Reborn: New Screenshots, Trailer

Sony Online Entertainment has released 15 new screenshots and a new trailer for the upcoming Halas Reborn update to EverQuest II.

Halas Reborn introduces the rebirth of Halas, a popular zone in the original EverQuest, to EverQuest II as a new starter zone.  Halas has reappeared on an island in the Frostfang Sea and includes content for both new and high level players, including two new raids, new housing, themed Marketplace items, a new simpler and more intuitive quest journal in the form of the Storyteller system, and lots more!

Halas Reborn is set to go live on May 25, and players who login between May 25 and 28 can receive a Frostpaw Kitten through the in-game Marketplace. In order to be eligible accounts must be in good standing, and there is a limit of one Frostpaw Kitten per character.You never forget your first love. I first came to mmos with the arrival of Star Wars Galaxies. I was living with a huge Star Wars fan at the time (huge meaning a dedicated fan that is, not morbidly obese) and he couldn’t get his wallet out fast enough to buy Galaxies on its release. Being a video game junkie I gave it a go, but wasn’t hooked. Sorry, but my geek credentials don’t extend to being a fan of the holy trilogy – I’m ignoring episodes 1 – 3. However, I did get my first taste of mmos and a pattern was formed in my mind; I had discovered where my tastes lay. Not long after SOE released a fantasy mmo (much more my cup of tea) and upon trying Everquest II I was hooked, my preference had blossomed into full blown love.
