Everquest 2: Good news for Soloists and Small groups!

Sony Online Entertainment continues to add additional content to the
EverQuest II live game at no additional charge to its subscribers. Some
of the new additions make it more fun for our solo players and small
groups to play the game with changes to the experience gain. Yes, that's
right: solo and small group experience gain has been boosted across the
board. Loot drops are being increased for these soloers and small groups
as well.

Sony Online has also added 8 new instanced areas for players to explore.
These new areas also add the chances for additional minor boss
encounters as well as access to new loot.

-For soloists and small groups, dozens of new quests and hundreds of new
NPCs have been added all over the game world since launch. Expect the
steady stream of additions like this to continue over the coming weeks
and months.

-Players should see a significant boost in small group and solo
experience across the board, allowing for advancement that is much more
visible and feels much more satisfying.

-Brand new item rewards will be added for soloists and small-groupers.
Additionally, some of the rewards that have been reserved solely for
groups will also make their way, though more rarely, to the solo and
small group encounters in the world.

-Group rewards have improved as well. The chances for some of the
group-only ultra-rare drops have been increased.

-In the coming weeks, expect new dungeon instances to be made available
for those who solo, duo, and trio.

Soloing and small grouping should be a way to advance at a satisfying
rate. You should be able to earn good rewards that are exciting in their
own right. Soloing and small grouping should also provide a chance at
the great rewards that people might not expect in anything except the
traditional six-person group.

Grouping will still provide the fastest overall experience gain, but the
advantage won't be as drastic as it is today. Grouping will also provide
better chances at the spectacular ultra-rare rewards.
