EverQuest Subscription Fees Increasing

Sony Online president John Smedley has announced that the subscription rate for the original EverQuest will be increased to $14.99/month effective June 12, 2005. The bad news:
EverQuest is in its 6th year of existence and while we have continued to bring new content for everyone to enjoy, the cost of operating a top tier MMO has increased significantly during the past three years. Today I am writing to tell you all that we will be increasing the subscription rate for EverQuest effective June 12, 2005. The new monthly subscription rate will be $14.99/month.
