Wouldn't it be a dream for many gamers if Everquest II went free to play?
Well, here is your chance! EverQuest II Extended is basically a Free to Play server for EQ2. The game enables you to play Everquest II for free on new servers.
Here is some more information about the game, taken from its official site:
Released from deep within the dark and dangerous depths of Norrath, a new free adventure service emerges, EverQuest® II Extended! Extended provides access to premium subscription-quality content through free and optional paid membership levels. Powered by an all-new web-based download application, new and veteran players alike can experience all the excitement and depth of EQII's content without a daunting installation or a massive download. Players can register within minutes, download the client to join other people in an epic journey, and launch into adventure in a fantastical online 3D world.However, it seems as if F2P players will not be given any access until the end of August or somewhere close to that. However, you can make a regular Everquest II trial account and play the game.
