Darkpaw has unveiled a year’s worth of new content coming this year to celebrate milestone birthdays for EverQuest and EverQuest 2. The venerated MMORPGs are each celebrating epic anniversaries: 25 years for EverQuest and 20 years for EverQuest 2. As a result, players have boatloads of new content to look forward to in the Year of Darkpaw coming over the next 12 months. The details for each game’s celebratory events were laid out in a pair of producer’s letters.
