Interesting Beta Offer by Sony

   Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), the developers of the smash MMORPG hit Everquest, are offering a most interesting promotion at their Everquest website:

   According to the Everquest Live and Lords of Everquest websites, by ordering their upcoming real-time strategy game Lords of Everquest, you will not only be given a bonus 30 days free on your current Everquest subscription, but also a beta invitation for Everquest 2 if you are a current Everquest subscriber (as long as your current account is in "good standings"). Players who order Lords of Everquest and are also current players of Everquest will be accepted into the Everquest 2 beta after the Everquest Legends subscribers are admitted. After this a public beta phase will commence.

   Also, Sony has given us what is most likely a very close estimate for the start of beta. According to promotional offer on the Lord's of Everquest site, the beta is scheduled (remember, like most betas, this is subject to change without notice) ideally for Spring 2004. If you are interested in partaking in the beta for Everquest 2 then perhaps you will find this offer quite appealing.
