It began as a rumor but was confirmed at SOE Fan Faire 2009 -- EverQuest's 16th expansion will be called Underfoot and is coming in November of this year. We've mentioned some of the features that Underfoot will bring to the game, like the expansion progress window and new zones, and Sony Online Entertainment is also updating the game's lore.
The lore update explains the subterranean Plane of Underfoot and some of its notable inhabitants, namely Brell Serilis, the Duke of Below. But mostly it provides EverQuest lore fans with a history of Underfoot, from the time it was shaped by the gods to the creation of Norrath's races. It's all part of the official EverQuest Underfoot announcement over at EverQuest Players.

I find this somewhat interesting because I used to be a big EQ junky. But I'm surprised that I am not more interested in this. Has EQ finally released it's grip of doom from my throat?

Thats kinda funny, I was thinking the exact opposite! I haven't played in like 6 or so years, but underfoot was somthing I was interested in since the begining (being a dwarf fan and all). This has actually gotten me considering somthing I never thought possible!! A return to Norath omg!

While I am excited about a new EQ2 release, this bugs me at the same time.
These expansions just keep adding more and more area onto the game. This in turn spreads players further and further apart from one another. To me, it's like a slow suicide for a game. Almost as deadly as the whole leveling scheme.

While that is true. The old areas do become obsolete because of loot and whatnot not being as good as the newer areas, so the people generally swarm to the newer areas when they come out. At least that's how I see it.
