Scheduled to launch in winter 2004, EverQuest II adds significant improvements over the original massively multiplayer online role-playing game. EverQuest II uses a completely new, cutting-edge 3-D engine developed in-house with a host of technological features allowing the development team to generate an unparalleled, visually stunning 3-D world. Other features include the ability to own real estate, ride horses, command ships, and experience all-new enhanced spells, quests, and events. EverQuest II takes place in the culturally diverse world of Norrath in the future of the original EverQuest, with a greater size and better graphical detail than ever seen before
