Sony Online Entertainment’s online collectible card game Legends of Norrath expands again next month, following the story of the Ethernauts with the sixth expansion set, Against the Void.
Sony Online Entertainment announced the release of the fourth EverQuest: Legends of Norrath set, Oathbreaker, which completes the story arc that began in LoN‘s Oathbound, providing a “dramatic finale” for characters.
SOE said new gameplay will be introduced to build on the old system and allow for more strategies and combos in the online card-based strategy title. It adds 250 new cards, new loot and promo cards, and a new island guardian, Chel’Drak the dragon turtle (is it a dragon or a turtle? Seriously, man).
According to SOE, LoN players have thrown down over a million matches since the title launched nine months ago. Oathbreaker‘s to be the last release before the August tournament at Gen Con Indy – wannabe competitors must qualify by July 12-13. Why not try, if you’re into it? There’s $AU 105,000 at stake!
Full details after the jump.
The war between the forces of Order and Chaos begins today! Sony Online Entertainment proudly announces the launch of their new Everquest online trading card game, Legends of Norrath. Starting today, players can visit www.legendsofnorrath.com and download the game client absolutely free! Of course, the cards will cost you to the tune of $US9.99 for a 55 card starter and $US2.99 for 15 card booster packs, but it will all pay off in the end when you can brag that you own the entire 375+ cards in the Oathbound set. Then of course your friends will ask to see them, and you’ll have to explain that they’re digital and don’t actually exist outside of a computer somewhere, but I’m sure they’ll be as impressed as they were when you told them about your internet girlfriend. Before I get angry comments, let it be known that I plan on playing as well, so I’m as big a dork as you are. Probably bigger.
MMOG Nation has posted a great interview with Sony Online Entertainment’s John Smedley about the recently announced Everquest online trading card game, Legends of Norrath: Oathbound which our own Crecente actually got to play last month. In case you haven’t gotten a chance to read Crecente’s hands on and you’re too lazy to click over to it or the MMOG Nation interview, here’s a quick explanation of the game in Mr. Smedley’s own words.
