EverQuest II's Desert of Flames is Out Now on the Anashti Sul Origins Server

It’s time to revisit EverQuest II’s first expansion, Desert of Flames, which is now available on the Anashti Sul Origins server after a beta test.

Head into the Desert of Flames to explore and take on new enemies like the Djinn, Harpies, Dervish Cutthroats, Sand Giants, and Muhut Ew Lizardmen. As you adventure around the tough lands, into places like Sinking Sands and the Dervish Stronghold,  you'll face new challenges, challenging encounters with bosses and new mechanics. There’s even an encounter with Anashti Sul herself. 

This is the first EverQuest II expansion, and if you want to access the Origins server, you’ll need to be an All-Access member. If you are, you can select Origins as your game version, update, and jump in.

Also available now that the expansion is officially released on the server is the PVP Arena. It's a way to test out strategies, skills, and more against others in competitive play without risking any negative consequences.  two teams of 12 players each can take on three Arena types:  Capture the Flag, Destroy the Idol, and Team Deathmatch. If you want to keep the game between friends you can choose to password protect it to limit entry. You have the option to enter using your own character or choose an Arena Champion avatar to try something new and see  how that works for you.

Desert of Flames is available now. The team has some screenshots and more with the official launch announcement.
