June 14^th, 2006 (8:37pm) - Sony Online Entertainment has announced that The Fallen Dynasty, the third adventure pack for EverQuest II, is now available for download at www.thefallendynasty.com for $7.99.

Players that have subscribed to SOE’s Station Access service for two months or longer can download this new adventure pack at no charge. Players who purchase The Fallen Dynasty can also select one of two bonsai trees as a new in-game item for their player house.

Developed in conjunction with SOE’s Taiwan studio, The Fallen Dynasty delivers the same kind of story-rich content seen in the previously released The Bloodline Chronicles and The Splitpaw Saga. Players will encounter new Asian influenced adventure zones, environments, clothing and weaponry; new tradeskill rewards, as well as all new quests for the high level EverQuest II player (level 55-70). For those EQII players who haven’t played through the two previous expansions, The Fallen Dynasty raises the base game level cap from 50 to 55, so that they can get in on the fun and excitement of this new adventure.

In The Fallen Dynasty, players journey to a secluded island with a dark past, inhabited by rival families and an ancient order of monks known as the Whistling Fist Clan. The forsaken city of Tanaan once thrived here until its people’s lust for knowledge led them to their own destruction when they arrogantly challenged the mighty guardian of Zebuxoruk’s secrets. Now, courageous adventurers are needed to drive back the bloodthirsty Pirates of Gunthak invading the village’s shores, thirsty for conquest, lost wealth, and the mysterious power hidden beneath the island’s tranquil surface.
