Sony Online Entertainment's landmark MMO EverQuest will be going Free-to-Play in March, joining EverQuest II and other SOE. With the move to free-to-play, players will continue to enjoy the classic flavor of EQ and have the power to choose a model that caters to their play style. Through the new free-to-play model, players will have the options of non-recurring vs. recurring subscriptions, Free vs. Silver memberships, item unlockers, and many more. Additionally, all players (both old and new) will be given brand new items via a 'Welcome Pack.'
