But, March 16th is just the beginning, we actually have a number of exciting initiatives planned for the coming year. Along with in-game events, veteran rewards, and community contests, we will be hosting a huge birthday party at our annual Fan Faire to celebrate with our community and fans -- the people that made this milestone possible! We also plan to release a 10th anniversary commemorative coffee table art book and a documentary that takes a nostalgic look back at the past tens years of EQ development and the people behind the game.
So when and where can fans attend the Fan Faire? And can you give any information about specific, upcoming, in-game events that the gaming community should mark their calendars for?
The Fan Faire will be held June 25-28 at the Bally’s Hotel in Las Vegas. For other community events, here’s some information:

Awesome! I’m sure this whole thing has people here feeling pretty good about what they do, huh? Are spirits high around the offices?
EverQuest pioneered the 3D massively multiplayer online genre and has since proved to be a monumental entertainment property, spawning 15 expansion packs, multi-platform game properties and introducing millions of players to the virtual world of Norrath. We are very excited to celebrate this anniversary with the City of San Diego, all of our employees and a dedicated community of players worldwide.
Thanks! Have a great day... and a great SOE Day!
