Legends of Norrath: Oathbound, by Sony Online Entertainment - Image 1


Got an inkling to sign up for Legends of Norrath: Oathbound, but don't have/want an EverQuest/EverQuest 2 account? We've just picked up a press wire from Sony Online Entertainment reporting that they've released a stand-alone version of their recently released online trading card game which doesn't require players to be singed into either EQ or EQ2.

Those interested in purchasing a 55-card starter deck will want to ready US$ 9.99, with the 15-card booster packs selling for US$ 2.99. As a reminder, Oathbound - the first of the Legends of Norrath series -  contains 375 cards in total. SOE Denver's Director of Development Scott Martins had this to say regarding the new stand-alone package:

When we showed Legends of Norrath at GenCon last month, it was just as big a hit with hobby and strategy gamers as it has been with our EQ and EQII players. We've had a great run so far with the exclusive access we've provided for our existing fans, and can't wait to bring it to a much wider audience with today's release.


New players will be able to enjoy the game in a single worldwide community with thousands of people that span its own client as well as both of our EverQuest MMOs.


The stand-alone sets can be bought at the Legends of Norrath official site via the read link. The site also carries a free trial starter deck, in case you'd prefer to give the game a try first.

 » Scott Fails to mention the unvealing at Fan Faire

Much to SOE’s embarrassment, the grand announcement of the Online Norrath card game failed and it was blamed on any untested patch. Would you like to see this poor example on how not to roll out a new product? Well, you can my friends with my hilarious commentary. It’s on the CD of the digital download of “Love that Jestor, A Novel Idea!” More info? http://blog.myspace.com/lovethatjestor

See you there and Love that Jestor
