Beta registrations for the Rain of Fear expansion are now being accepted!

We are now accepting sign-ups for the EverQuest® Rain of Fear™ expansion beta.

As with previous years' beta, the sign-up process has been made easier for you… and for us! Once you sign up, the system places you in a pool of potential beta testers. When the invite stages occur, beta testers will automatically be selected from that pool. We will, however, still be limiting the number of participants during different beta stages—the difference is that now you don't have to wait for a window of opportunity to sign up. The beta sign-up page will remain open until the beta ends. Once you sign up, you do not need to sign up again.

Please remember that when you sign up to participate in any beta you agree to the Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) terms. In short, this means you agree not to disclose information about the expansion. You must read and accept the full NDA before you get placed in the pool.

Before clicking the link below, make sure you update your email address on your account. If you do not update your email address, emails sent by the system may not be delivered to your account.

You can update your email address by clicking the email settings button under the My Account option. Got that? Update your account before signing up for beta! For your convenience, the beta page has an option to update your email address.

Here is a feature list along with a couple early screenshots from EverQuest's 19th expansion, Rain of Fear:

You and your friends destroyed the newly created god, The Triumverate, causing an explosion that rocked Norrath and released the stolen power of fear.

This power is returning to Norrath, falling from the sky in the form of crystalline shards. Who will gain control of the essence of fear?

The Harbingers of Thule entreat you to gather the essence of their lost god before it falls into the hands of others. You will uncover the mysteries of the giant crystals that have fallen to Norrath. Explore newly discovered lands and revisit the frozen wastes of Velious. Battle old foes empowered by shards, confront them and reclaim the power of fear.

We are proud to announce the 19th expansion of the EverQuest franchise, Rain of Fear. EverQuest is now in its 14th year of continuous development. The story that started with House of Thule and the death of Cazic-Thule, takes on a new twist with Rain of Fear. EverQuest delivers new content to explore as well as exciting new features and must-have in-game items. Lastly, don't miss out on your chance to be a Centurion! Rain of Fear now allows your character to level to an unprecedented 100!!

Rain of Fear, EverQuest's latest expansion, has been announced!

Following the defeat of The Triune God (and on the heels of the incident in the Tower of Frozen Shadow), the power of fear is falling from Norrath's skies...

Hello Norrath!

There aren't many people that say that they have been involved in a project as highly acclaimed as EverQuest. Fortunately, I am one of those few people that can. Now, in my fourth year with the team, I have the distinct pleasure to announce the latest expansion for EverQuest: Rain of Fear™

EverQuest celebrates an unprecedented 20th major game release with the Rain of Fear™ Expansion. Thirteen years after the initial launch of EverQuest and 19 expansions later, Rain of Fear™ continues an exciting storyline that started two years ago with the mysterious House of Thule™ Expansion, and continued in Veil of Alaris™.

You and your friends destroyed the newly created god, The Triumverate, causing an explosion that rocked Norrath and released the stolen power of fear. This power is returning to Norrath, falling from the sky in the form of crystalline shards. Who will gain control of the essence of fear and bring balance between good and evil?
