Meeting of Virtual and Reality
EverQuest Fan Faire to be held in Europe for first time ever.
International publishing powerhouse, Ubi Soft Entertainment, announced today that they will be partnering with Sony Online Entertainment to bring the most successful massively multiplayer online role-playing game to life for gamers from all over Europe. For the first time ever, EverQuest fans in Europe will experience a real-life EverQuest Fan Faire. This event will honour the launch of the third expansion pack, EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin scheduled for release this December.
For one magical medieval day, EverQuest fans will have the opportunity to venture forth from the utterly engrossing, almost real universe they create behind their keyboards to face their online friends. This meeting of virtual and reality will take place in a 14th century castle, 60 km outside of Paris on Saturday, September 15, 2001. Over 1200 gamers are expected to participate in an all day EverQuest extravaganza, including a massive treasure hunt and other game-based activities on the castle grounds. Guests at the Fan Faire will be treated to a medieval market place with live demonstrations by artisans and guilds, a copious banquet in the style of the period, and musicians to lend a musical atmosphere throughout the day. In addition, EverQuest game developers will be on hand to answer questions, trade tips, and share stories. Registration is 85 USD and scheduled to begin on July 27th, 2001 on
EverQuest, a massively multiplayer online game, was originally launched in 1999 and boasts today over 400,000 active subscribers from around the world. Continuing to grow with top-selling expansions The Ruins of Kunark and The Scars of Velious, EverQuest proves to be the largest 3D fantasy world ever created online. During peak periods, more than 96,000 adventurers and dragon slayers have explored the world of Norrath simultaneously. The active global EverQuest subscriber base is comprised of players from various countries throughout the "real" world, including the U.S., England, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, France, Italy and Australia. Compelling gameplay, dynamic content and strong player communities have made EverQuest one of the most successful online role-playing games in history.
