And now EverQuest has made the move, outlasting its own sequel by nearly two years. Players can opt to continue paying $14.99 a month for full access, pay a one-time five dollar fee to upgrade to an enhanced version, or just don’t pay at all and play as long as they wish, albeit with some steep restrictions. Sony Online Entertainment is celebrating the move and the game’s 13th year in operation with special events, double experience, and 24 hours of double Station Cash, the virtual currency players can use to unlock character classes and by special items and upgrades.
