In record-breaking news, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that EverQuest, the most successful online PC role-playing game in history, hosted a milestone number of simultaneous players over the weekend. More than 100,000 clerics, half-elves, gnomes, and other fantasy characters created one of the largest assemblies of game players to date.

The future will only hold more milestones, according to SOE, as the game is being expanded into a series on multiple platforms and new expansion packs are added. The company will release a new expansion, The Planes of Power, this fall, as well as future games in the series like EverQuest II and EverQuest Online Adventures.
