The EverQuest II Website announces EverQuest II: Chains of Eternity, an upcoming ninth expansion for the MMORPG sequel. Word is: "This expansion contains must-have features such as level increases, prestige abilities and new game items only available with this expansion, such as adornments that become more powerful with your character. Also, explore new content in two spirit-realm versions of familiar lands, and experience adventure with new dungeons and quests. Put right the imbalance in the Ethernere!" Not to be outdone, the EverQuest Website announces EverQuest: Rain of Fear, the 20th expansion for this MMORPG that's been rolling along for 13 years now (thanks Zarkonis). This will add new content, new features, and raise the character level cap to 100. Finally, SOE unveils Player Studio, a way for players to design and sell items in both EverQuests soon and eventually in other SOE MMOGs as well. Here's word:

Selected items will be offered for sale in the SOE Marketplace alongside items created by staff artists, priced in SOE's Station Cash virtual currency. Revenue from the sale of these items will be shared back with the creative player.

The program is not yet officially running, but you can read up and even start creating items now. More information will be released at SOE Live 2012 in Las Vegas, NV.
