'EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath' Gift With Purchase - Screens

by Rainier on July 17, 2003 @ 11:52 a.m. PDT

Sony Online Entertainment announced today that the boxed retail version of EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath will contain both a special "in-box" gift as well as an "in-game" item (while supplies last). Lost Dungeons of Norrath, the sixth expansion to the hugely popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), EverQuest, is expected to ship to North American retail stores this Fall. Read more for details and some new screens ...

"This is a real first for us, since we've never given away an in-game item before" said Don Vercelli, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Sony Online Entertainment. "It's very important for us to support our retail customers and we feel that the combination of both the in-game item and the keychain in the box will be a great incentive for EverQuest fans."

For the first time, Sony Online Entertainment is offering both a "real world" item and an "in-game" item to those who purchase the boxed retail version of Lost Dungeons of Norrath. Inside the retail box is a unique, collectible EverQuest-branded keychain, while the in-game item is the magical "Satchel of Abu Kar."

What is a Satchel of Abu Kar? Not much is known about the ancient adventurer, Abu-Kar, beyond a few rare weight-reducing containers that are occasionally discovered. Now rumor has it that a buried storehouse full of these fine satchels has recently been unearthed by the Wayfarers Guild. This satchel will carry eight small-to-large sized items, and magically reduces the weight of everything within by 25%. The satchel will be a single non-drop "lore" item that can only be granted to one character avatar per EverQuest account.
