The Depths of Darkhollow

A preview of the 10th EverQuest expansion, Depths of Darkhollow, was offered at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire over the weekend. The highlights include many new zones (static and instanced), some high-end content, the ability to play as a monster, and "smart" items. While an official announcement is planned in the very near future, Loral of Casters Realm has posted a pretty good write-up of what was shown at the Fan Faire. You can read that article here.

You aren't going to be fighting players as a monster. You will become a monster and fight NPCs as if you were that monster. So you would get to be Naggy and fight off hordes of level 52 mobs perhaps. Sounds like fun anyway.
clerics beware

i immagine if you were a monster in a high level zone you coudl wipe almost any group there just by lunging at teh cleric first. as well as waiting till the group already has engaged a monster.

this could make xp grinding alot tougher, though it also could lead to some big cheats for multi boxers. I hope Soe has this will planned out like every time you die you go as new monster in a new zone

They had this feature on the test server for a while a couple years ago, where you could spawn yourself as a random monster in a random zone and pick off newbies. Best one I've seen was an orc oracle in highpass buffing himself and slaughtering bypassing newbies.

The button for this was actually hidden in the top left corner of the character select screen, was a lot of fun to do though.
Wonder how long
