Sentinals Fate coming with Destiny of Velious?

[CrisuK0M13]

<p>So someone in 1-9 chat said that SOE recently made an announcement that when you buy Distiny of Velious, it comes with Sentinals Fate.</p><p>She said that the post was in the Official News and Announcement forum, but I havn't been able to find anything.</p><p>Anyone know anything about this?</p><p>I ask because I was gonna buy Sentinels Fate this week. But if thats the case, I'm not gonna buy it and just wait till Destiny of Velious drops.</p>

<p>Pretty sure thats been the case for every expansion.  The current expansion includes everything prior.</p>

[Landiin]

<p>When you buy the latest expansion (DoV in this case) you get all expansions that came before it.</p>

You must purchase everything up to, and including the newest expansion - to play the newest expansion. If you were to buy only "Cataclysm," you would be SOL.</p><p>Folks should remember these tidbits before they launch in to their tirades about this particular game.</p>

<p>Awesome, thank you very much guys/girls. Really appreciate the feedback.</p><p>And yes, I come from WOW where I played for nearly 6 years. Only been playing Everquest 2 for a little over 2 months with a friend of mine. She brought me into it when I was sick of WOW.</p><p>In WOW you had to buy every previous expansion if you wanted to be able to access the latest expansion, mind you they cut the price of those previous expansions by about 90%. You can get Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King for about 5 dollars now. </p><p>But I guess I'l just wait for Destiny of Velious to come out and forget about buying Sentinals Fate.</p><p>Thanks again!</p>
