EverQuest II: Chains of Eternity Released

SOE has officially launched Chains of Eternity, the ninth expansion pack for EverQuest II. The add-on is also up on Steam, and there are a plethora of patch notes to go with it over in the forums. Here's a sampling:
Chains of Eternity is EverQuest II's 9th expansion! In Chains of Eternity, adventurers will travel to the realm known as Ethernere in their quest to stop the siphoning of souls from Norrath. Here, the heroes will fight to save not only the mortals of their world, but prevent the imbalance in Ethernere, as well as meet the God of the afterlife, Drinal, the Silver Reaper. They may yet find the answer lies not in fortunes and portents, but deep in Norrath's past. Adventurers will also uncover all new areas in the mortal realm of Norrath.

The fate of the living and the dead are in your hands, heroes! Are you up to the challenge before you?
