EverQuest Players has word that beta testing is underway for EverQuest: House of Thule, the 17th expansion for the MMORPG. Word is: "As with last year's beta, the sign-up process has been made easier for you… and for us! Once you sign up, the system places you in a pool of potential beta testers. When the invite stages occur, beta testers will automatically be selected from that pool. We will, however, still be limiting the number of participants during different beta stages—the difference is that now you don't have to wait for a window of opportunity to sign up. The beta sign-up page will remain open until the beta ends. Once you sign up, you do not need to sign up again." Likewise, The EQ2 Wire has word on EverQuest 2: Destiny of Velious, the 10th expansion for the MMORPG sequel, offering a feature list and a Q&A on what to expect. Thanks Big Download.
