At their annual Fan Faire, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) CEO John Smedley has revealed new expansions for EverQuest and EverQuest II. For EQ players, The Seeds of Destructions offers a new level cap (85), 20 new zones, a new mercenary systems, and all fourteen previous expansions in one box. EQII: The Shadow Odyssey will feature brand new zones, some revisits of the original EQ dungeons, a bump in the number of achievements you can get (up to 200), new deities, new quests and a new loot system that lets you pick your loot rewards.

Our MMO-obsessed colleagues at Massively have interviews with the EverQuest design team and EQII Senior Producer Bruce Ferguson about the expansions. All Fan Faire attendees will receive both games for free and will be able to participate in the SoD and TSO betas when they begin on August 19 and September 2, respectively.

Seeds of Destruction will come out October 21, while The Shadow Odyssey is scheduled for November 18. Stay tuned to Massively all week for more Fan Faire coverage.
