Fifteen full expansions for the MMORPG EverQuest II have been released, as well as three Adventure Packs. With EverQuest II, Sony Online Entertainment introduced the concept of Adventure Packs. Adventure Packs are meant to be smaller 'mini-expansions' to the game, adding a plot line with several zones, new creatures and items to the game via digital download with a smaller fee. EQ2 subscribers start with 7 slots per region. Free-to-Play accounts (F2P) start with 2 slots per region. The 'per region' means that you can have a full complement of characters on each of the server 'regions', i.e., for a paying member, 7 on Test, 7 on the US servers, and 7 on the EU servers. Additional character slots can be obtained. 2 character slots per server All Races & Classes Unlocked (except for Channeler, Beastlord, Aerakyn & The Freeblood) 10 bag slots 2 shared bank slots Apprentice tier 1 & 2 mercenaries Only Limited to Adept Tier Spells Limited Chat: /say /tell /group and /guild Can join a guild, but not create one. Limited to Legendary/Fabled Gear.

On March 16, 2012, EverQuest went free-to-play (F2P).

Hi there, Norrathians!

You may not realize it, but we talk about you all the time. All day, every day, we dream up ways to make these games better for you, the loyal players and fans of Norrath.EverQuest and EverQuest II have both been running as free-to-play games for a good chunk of time now. We've learned a lot while that's been happening, and we can make things better for you.

So, we're going to take out a bunch of the free-to-play restrictions that you're used to as a Free or Silver player. Why? Because we want you to play more of the game without restriction. We think that letting you play more of the game lets you learn to love Norrath and gives you more chances to connect with the community and make friends.

As of mid-next week [March 13, 2013], we're going to be removing the following free-to-play restrictions in EverQuest and EverQuest II. Free and Silver players will now have access to all of the following options:

We are opening up ALL CLASSES.
We are opening up ALL RACES.
All bag slots are unlocked.
All players can now use the shared bank slots.
The quest journal restrictions are lifted entirely. Quest away!
Additionally, EverQuest is allowing all players to send delivery parcels!

Membership[edit]

EQ has three levels of membership, of which only two are available for new players. Note that all levels of membership do not include the latest expansion (currently Empires of Kunark), which must be purchased separately.

Free[edit]

Play For Free.

Beginning players default to the Free level of membership. They have access to most of the content in the world of Norrath. There are certain content, feature, and service limitations that are only unlocked through a la carte item purchases or by upgrading membership to another tier. Initially, these accounts were limited to a choice of four classes and four races, as well as limit on how much platinum they could store, but these restrictions were later dropped.

Silver[edit]

$5.00 USD.

To become a Silver member there is a one-time item purchase called the 'Silver Membership Pack,' which costs $5.00 USD or 500 Station Cash. That pack grants two additional character slots per server, better chat options, extra inventory capacity, raises your quest journal limit, gives you the ability to create guilds, and more. Once you purchase a Silver Membership Pack, you are permanently raised to that membership level. There is no recurring fee for this pack or membership.

Note that you can not use the Station Cash from one account to buy a Silver Membership Pack (or anything else) for another account.

Previous EverQuest subscribers who did not have an active subscription at the time of the free-to-play conversion will automatically be converted to the Silver membership.

End of Silver sales[edit]

When SOE iiiiii oooooo pppppp

Grandfathered[edit]

If you had a Gold account before Gold was replaced by All Access (April 29th, 2014), then if your account lapses (goes free), the account becomes Silver. Accounts created after that date will become Free accounts if All Access lapses.

All Access (Gold)[edit]

All Access (formerly known as Gold) accounts have full access to EverQuest (some expansions require additional purchase). In addition, All Access grants full membership in EverQuest II, PlanetSide 2 (PC), DC Universe Online (PC), and H1Z1 (PC).

The cost is $14.99 USD/month (note that there are various discounts and subscriptions available). Using one Krono will grant you 30 days of All Access.

Gold members get the same exact level of play that paying customers have always gotten. All paying customers automatically become Gold members.

If you cancel your Gold Membership and your account was Gold anytime before or about April 16, 2014, you will be converted to Silver membership when your Gold membership expires.

500 Daybreak Cash monthly[edit]

All Access members also receive 500 Daybreak Cash per month for each paid recurring subscription they have. This excludes people who use other methods to pay for their accounts, only recurring subscriptions (credit / debit card and automatic account billing payments) get this. Additionally, All Access members receive a 10% discount on Marketplace purchases. You must go in-game and claim your Daybreak Cash each month by opening up the Marketplace and clicking the Claim button.
