Legends of Norrath - Against the Void video game follow up to Ethernauts

Sixth Expansion Adds 280 New Cards, New Loot and New Scenarios

Players can battle mighty foes, collect valuable loot and follow in the footsteps of Norrath’s greatest heroes with the sixth Legends of Norrath set, Against the Void, available from Sony Online.

Against the Void takes the epic story of the previous release, Ethernauts, into compelling new territory while also adding more than 280 new gameplay cards, 16 new loot cards for both EverQuest and EverQuest II, two new playable avatar races and 10 brand-new scenarios.

The launch of Against the Void also marks the extension of SOE’s five booster pack promotion through September 30, 2009. All EverQuest® and EverQuest II subscribers with paid subscriptions in good standing will receive five digital Legends of Norrath trading card booster packs per month at no additional cost during the promotion period.

“We’ve had a fantastic response to the five booster pack promotion, so we’re pleased to extend it,” said Scott Martins, director of development for SOE Denver. “Against the Void also features a much darker story than we’ve done before, and I think it makes for a very powerful narrative, setting the stage nicely for the adventures to come.”

Against the Void takes place two thousand years ago, when the Void storms erupted over Norrath, and horrible beasts poured into the land. A small band of heroes, the Ethernauts, sought help to repel the invasion, but they were greeted by mistrust from the peoples of Norrath and weakened by a darkness growing in their ranks. The Ethernauts found themselves quickly losing ground while new foes emerged.

Against the Void Features:

The Story of the Ethernauts Continues – Against the Void is the second of three chapters in the epic Ethernauts storyline! Players of EverQuest® II The Shadow Odyssey™ will instantly recognize the characters and settings from the Ethernauts and Against the Void, and learn more about the backstory of The Shadow Odyssey.

New Cards – More than 280 new gameplay cards are available through booster packs, tournaments, promotions and scenarios.

New Gameplay – Cards with the new keyword “Attuned” change factions to match the player’s avatar, opening up exciting new gameplay strategies.

Valuable Loot! – How would you like your very own traveling band? Or turn yourself into a Voidman Warrior? Or ride through Norrath on a fiery Dire Bear or White Lion? This is all possible with 16 loot cards each for EverQuest and EverQuest II. In fact, the new mounts available for EverQuest II are the fastest mounts released in Legends of Norrath to date. You will now be able to see the loot in action through video on legendsofnorrath.com when the loot page goes live!

New Playable Avatars and Characters – Against the Void introduces new Fae and Arasai playable avatars, and features units representing Knights, Gnomes, Orcs and Iksars.

New Scenarios – Against the Void offers 10 brand-new scenarios, continuing the story of the Ethernauts and offering exciting loot for completing certain milestones. You’ll have to fight your way through a variety of different enemies before the final battle with Sartar the Unrivaled, a mighty Iskar hero!

Five Booster Packs per Month Promotion Extended through September 20, 2009! – SOE is extending its five booster pack per month promotion to EverQuest and EverQuest II subscribers with current, paid accounts in good standing. This is a great way to quickly build a collection of cards to bring into Legends of Norrath and begin playing.

Legends of Norrath Against the Void will be available on February 12 in 15-card booster packs for $2.99 USD (plus applicable taxes). Also look for the Ethernauts Legendary Starter Pack for $19.99 USD (plus applicable taxes).

Developed at SOE’s Denver studio, Legends of Norrath is the only online trading card game based on and playable from within SOE’s popular EverQuest and EverQuest II MMOs, as well as from a free stand-alone client using a free SOE Station Account ID (available at www.station.com). Players can challenge opponents on their game server and across other EverQuest and EverQuest II servers.

Fokker 70/100 for Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X

“The panel is just simply amazing. If you are looking for an aircraft that provides the most realism possible, look no further.” – Avsim.com

The Advanced Cockpit Simulation!

Over four years of development has produced an outstanding simulation of the Fokker 70 and 100 airliners and probably the most advanced flight deck simulation ever seen for Microsoft’s Flight Simulator series.

With the involvement of Fokker pilots, this is an airliner that MUST be flown just as the real aircraft would be. Complex systems such as hydraulics, bleed air and electrical connections, lift dumper and speed brake logic, emergency controls, reverser logic plus detailed icing and fire protection systems are all modelled, delivering the ultimate cockpit simulation.

This amazing product includes highly detailed exterior models and flight dynamics for the Fokker 100 with both sliding and stair door variants plus the Fokker 70. Each model has numerous liveries to fly from either the Captain’s or First Officer’s panel. You even get multi-crew networking capability to allow Captain and First Officer interaction!

Fourteen 2D panels and pop-ups allow complete start-up to shut-down procedures by the book. Plus the load manager and fuel planner display data on the kneeboard for easy FMC programming.

This fully packed boxed edition comes complete with printed manual, including ‘your first flight’ tutorial, poster-sized panel familiarisation guide and a full-length flight-deck DVD filmed with British Midland airlines (BMi) on a round trip to Nice – which will help both novices and airliner experts alike to ‘learn to fly the Fokker way’

The Fokker flight dynamics are precisely designed based on numerous real-world comparisons and data. Accurate aerodynamic behaviour of the slatless wings matches the real world fuel and climb data to within 2-5%. Simulated are the engine types TAY650 for the Fokker 100 and TAY620 for the F70. A detailed Load Manager handles all cargo stations in the aircraft and together with the Fuel Planner you can export a detailed real world load sheet into the kneeboard of Flight Simulator. This data can easily be used for FMC setup and in-flight calculations.

Aircraft Systems

The aircraft systems simulation is done with the highest level of detail featuring all Fokker systems, which of course includes an FMC and multiple EFIS Displays. The AFCAS (autopilot) is features all real -orld functions to the highest level of realism for this aircraft type.

- Detailed electrical bus system simulation of all internal systems. Lights are correctly fed by all the electrical busses and interconnections. (e.g. the left landing light has a different power source than the right one, and can be tested by switching off the respective bus).
