EverQuest’s New ‘Veil of Alaris’ Expansion is now Available for Pre-Order

If you’re still playing EverQuest, a massively multiplayer online game from way back in 1999, then chances are you’re always looking for brand new content to keep you enthralled in the world of Norrath. Sony Online Entertainment have done a good job at doing just that, with 17 expansion packs already having been released and an 18th one, Veil of Alaris, being released next month on the 15th November, 2011.

Chances are also quite good that, if you’re still playing EverQuest, that you’ll already have decided that you’ll be buying the Veil of Alaris as soon as you’re able to. Why not pre-order the game that you’re already going to be getting anyway and get some very special, very exclusive, items in the process?

Alaris is a brand new continent in the world of Norrath and is a place where even the Gods are under threat from a deadly new force. What chance do us mere mortals have? The new expansion will allow players to test their might against a plethora of new bosses and raid instances, as well as adding plenty of new quests and single player content.

As well as days of extra gameplay value, Veil of Alaris is also set to include:
