Akella Company is proud to announce that the long-awaited MMORPG Everquest II will appear in Russia, according to agreement with Ubisoft, soon after the world-wide release on the 8th of November, 2004.

EverQuest II is going to coexist with the legendary online universe of EverQuest. The sequel takes place 500 years after our first acquaintance with the world of Norrath which has however evolved greatly and reached the new epoch in its history. The character you create belongs to one of the 16 playable races and can master any of 24 different classes. The appearance of the character is totally customizable allowing you to create totally unique person among the vast amount of other characters.

The world of Norrath has grown much. Exploring its known and brand new areas, the characters will encounter 160 different monster types, visit beautiful cities and crawl through dungeons full of treasure and challenge, gain dozens of useful skills and learn tomes of devastating spells. You can fight, you can trade, you can explore - you can live. The character of yours can own real estate, ride horses and command ships. Many trading skills allow you to produce most powerful weapons and equipment, making you a great warrior and a famous craftsman.
