It's official! SOE has removed BETA from the logo and is proud to announce the official launch of EverQuest II Extended.

To celebrate the launch, EQ2X players can claim their free Staff of the Rising Phoenix from the in-game Marketplace on the Freeport server. The staff is an appearance-only item, depicting a phoenix engulfed in glowing flames, and will be available for a limited time only, so be sure to claim yours before 11:59 pm PDT on Thursday, October 7th.

With EverQuest II Extended, players can experience an unmatched quality and quantity of content and adventure that no other free-to-play massively multiplayer online game can offer! To create an account or log in with your current Station Account, visit www.everquest2.com/free_to_play.
