The legendary online realm of Norrath is extending its borders to Boston, Massachusetts, this spring as the EverQuest team announces its participation in PAX East on March 21 and 22, 2024. Dubbed the Year of Darkpaw, this year is particularly special as it marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic MMORPG, EverQuest.
The team behind the enduring game is not only inviting attendees to a unique panel discussion but is also promising gifts for those brave enough to venture forth and join them. The panel, “Behind the Scenes: 28 years of EverQuest Development,” promises an unprecedented look into the game’s long and storied history. Scheduled for March 21st, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST at the Condor Theater, this event is a must-attend for anyone fascinated by the evolution of one of the most influential titles in MMORPG history.
But the adventure doesn’t end there. For those who can’t snag a ticket to PAX East or simply can’t get enough of the EverQuest universe, the team is hosting a meet-up at Harpoon Brewery from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. EST on the same day. This evening event promises more personal interactions with the game’s developers and an opportunity to mingle with fellow enthusiasts over a pint.
EverQuest’s journey since its launch in 1999 has been nothing short of epic, encompassing thirty expansions and countless stories that have shaped the face of online gaming. The 25th-anniversary celebrations are a testament to its enduring legacy and vibrant community. The panel aims to cover the gamut of EverQuest’s rich history, from its early days and launch to the present day, highlighting both well-known and obscure tales from behind the scenes.
