Happy 7th Anniversary, EverQuest II!

[Isulith]

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Happy 7th Anniversary, EverQuest II!</strong></p> <p>On November 8th, 2004, SOE launched a brand new MMO; a game that would carry forward the epic tale of a land called Norrath, of the gods and monsters that formed the land, and of the people who would weave its ongoing saga.</p> <p>Today we celebrate seven years of that land, and of adventures that range from glorious victory in the face of great peril to woeful defeat at the hands of our dearest friends, in this game that we all know and love: EverQuest II!</p> <p>We also celebrate seven years with you - the people who breathe life into the land of Norrath and continue to write its story. Thank you for an incredible first seven years! Now, blow out the candles...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/images/en/features/articles/anniversary/2011/cake2011.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/images/en/features/articles/anniversary/2011/cake2011_300px.jpg" width="300" /></a></p> <p>Here is an official post from EverQuest II Executive Producer, Dave "SmokeJumper" Georgeson: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=508964" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=508964</a>.</p><p>In honor of this momentous occasion, we're giving you a keepsake to enjoy and remember this day: a marble statue of Lucan D'Lere!

<p>Happy birthday EverQuest2! We've had our highs and our lows but overall I've had a great time in Norrath and look forward to your eighth anniversary next year. Happy birthday from the spirit of the Highkeep server I started out on seven years ago.</p>
