(Shamelessly lifted from http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/216074/and-now-for-an-everquest-2-expansion-with-flying-mounts/)
And here we thought EverQuest was the only Sony Online Entertainment game getting an expansion this week. While EverQuest 2 still has a long way to go before hitting the big 1-7, the release of Destiny of Velious in February 2011 brings it up to a total of 7 expansion packs.
Here's the list of new stuff:
Flying mounts
300+ new quests
10 instanced dungeons
Four heritage quests
One contested dungeon (factions fight for control of it)
Two overland zones
Six raid instances
New Battlegrounds for player versus player gameplay
New signature quest line
30+ new creatures
New weapons, items, and armor sets
Aside from that list, Destiny of Velious also bundles the previous six expansions and three adventure packs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EverQuest_2#Expansions_and_Adventure_Packs) together. No retail price exists for Velious yet, but we're wondering if that ups the total cost (no comment from SOE at this time). Look for it February 11, 2011.
and this from http://eq2.zam.com/story.html?story=22930
Flying mounts will be introduced: we saw a griffon and something dragonish, and were told the first one is quested. The existing cloud and carpet mounts will not be changed to "real" flying mounts.
and a quick trailer for the expansion... you have to wait right till the last few seconds for a glimpse of a flying mount....
