Sony announced today that the Everquest 2 expansion "Rise of Kunark" is the best selling of all the expansions produced thusfar. That's quite an accomplishment given the three 'adventure packs' and three previous expansions.
Here's what Sony had to say:
Rise of Kunark, the fourth and largest expansion pack for the critically acclaimed online role playing game EverQuest® II, officially becomes the best selling expansion pack to date, surpassing all previous expansions in number of units sold. To provide our adventurers with more of a chance to experience the vibrant, virtual world of Norrath, the purchase price for Rise of Kunark (ROK) will be dropped later this week to $29.99 at www.station.com.

It's about to hit its fifth birthday, so we took the chance to talk to Valerie Massey of CCP Games about the history of EVE Online and in the process, got a little scoop of this summer's expansion pack!
We also have a nice little video interview that CCP put together with CEO Hilmar Petursson on the company's history. You can grab that here.
The title of the next expansion - revealed here for the first time - will be "The Empyrean Age," the same as the EVE novel by Tony Gonzalez also slated for the summer. The reason is simple, this is the first EVE Online expansion where the story of the game and its universe will play a key role, a lot of it based off the novel.
"The universe of Eve has always had this fragile peace between the races and now that's going to end," Massey said. This means war and that is the core new feature: factional warfare. "People can actually take an active role and choose sides for who they want to fight for and who they want to fight against."
Read it all after the leap.
