This month also brought some long anticipated updates, from The Luck quest, to the alternate Plane of Disease ability quest, to a promised pass over Master Classes, and much more. April brings a few more changes like Zaroan Plateau access changes and Alchemist reward exchanges.</blockquote> <a href="http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=9189">View in full...</a> Mon, 02 Apr 2007 18:54:25 -0000 EQOA March Madness [Everquest Online Adventures] http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=9041 <div class="moz-text-html"> SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA ALERT   EVERQUEST® ONLINE ADVENTURES™ MARCH MADNESS… The Adventure Continues With The Plane Of Disease, Master Class Balancing And The Luck Of The Irish   WHAT:                 Plane of Disease (PoD) Alternate Ability Quest!
