EverQuest: Dragons of Norrath Preview

Stratics has put together a preview of EverQuest: Dragons of Norrath, based upon their time in beta and a tour from one of Sony's GMs. Check it out:
There are dragons. And dragons, and dragons, and dragons! Oh my! We were treated to visual delights that made me nostalgic for a good old. Dragon Hunt! The expansion centers around a central area known as The Nest. Players with original maps of Norrath will find that area a little ways south of Halas. Will the Hatchlands also surface with this expansion? Perhaps. perhaps. There are two factions in this new world and players can gain faction with either faction by performing missions for them.

Apart from all these visual goodies, this new expansion introduces a number of functional features that players have long wished for.
