EverQuest II: Desert of Flames Preview

IGN PC has dished up a two-page preview of EverQuest II: Desert of Flames, after getting some firsthand time with Sony Online's upcoming expansion pack. Check it out:
In The Living Tombs players can also find the secret to unlock an entirely new area, The Silent City. Sharing some of the same aesthetic of The Living Tombs, The Silent City offers a chance to play with one of the expansion's cooler toys. Moving from the Hall of War to the Temple Courtyard in the city, players will find the Sentinel Repulsor, one of the most unique creatures in the game. If you walk up to these creatures, you'll find yourself catapulted into the air. This cool little jump effect allows you to access areas of the level that you might not otherwise be able to reach. Unfortunately, it can sometimes catapult you right into the middle of a very bad situation. I'll leave it to you to discover just exactly what I mean by that.
