A search of the US Trademarks office has turned up two new SOE trademarks for Everquest

3 77756896 EVERQUEST II SENTINEL'S FATE TARR LIVE
4 77756888 EVERQUEST UNDERFOOT TARR LIVE

You can also read this thread for some Underfoot lore:

The Underfoot is supposed to exist deep below the surface of Norrath. There is a great sealed door at the bottom of The Hole that is supposed to lead there, as well as rumors of a portal beneath Crushbone (from the books).

Many of the creatures that dwell beneath Norrath's surface worship Brell, form Dwarves to Gnolls. It's possible that these races might ahve found a new portal to the Underfoot as well.

Not to mention blocked tunnels like the ones in Neriak and STonebrunt that exist.

well it was correct.

i know this link says EQ2 but this quote pertains to Everquest

eq2.zam.com/story.html

(Underfoot) will launch with 12-15 zones, with bonus zones being added through April 2010.

It will include a new achievement tracking system and double the amount of weapons of any other expansion.

 There is no level increase for EverQuest: Underfoot

 They have posted the community address on YouTube. The bit of the community address that pertains to EQ is in Part 8, and there are some visuals from the new expansion at the end of the video:

A guild mate had posted some information he had gotten while at the Fan Fair and it seems like some pretty cool stuff is in the works. I'm wondering how much more SOE will do since Freerealms is becoming so popular.

Seems like every expansion Sony released for EQ is a wasted opportunity to do something truely unique, to bring players back. All they care about is maintaining, they don't care about growing. It's very sad

When I read that all I think of is mugs. How is any of that really that appealling?

The responses from people that play the game are pretty darn good, especially after Sklug went into details about it.
