EQ Expansion Interview

Right after the official word that EverQuest is getting another expansion, GameSpot has posted up an interview with Verant’s Jeff Butler, talking about what exactly Shadows of Luclin will offer to EQ players. Here’s an excerpt:

GS: In general, what’s new in Shadows of Luclin? Verant has stated before that if it were to make another expansion pack after Scars of Velious, it would be more along the lines of the first expansion, Ruins of Kunark, in that it would have an all-new playable race and other low-level features. As such, is Shadows of Luclin designed primarily for new players?

JB: Luclin will include a new player-character race (Kerran), class (Beastlord), and starting city, along with all-new player-character models and textures, DirectX 8 support including hardware T&L, and at least 25 new adventure zones. It is designed for players of all levels.
