The EverQuest Players Website announces EverQuest is going free-to-play in early March after years of operation as a subscription MMORPG (thanks Acleacius). Get your sticks ready, as they plan on offering more payment options than you can shake a stick at:

We're excited to be expanding the EverQuest experience by making the game more accessible to every type of player so that you can choose to play the game in a way that suits you best. Anyone who wishes to start, return or continue to play one of the "Best Games of All-Time" can simply download and play EverQuest on their terms – think of it as Free to Play, Your Way. Recurring subscriptions, non-recurring subscriptions, Silver or Free memberships, item unlockers, and more. The game will now be setup to be flexible so that *you* can decide how much to pay, based on how much fun you're having.
