By offering former <em>Everquest</em> and <em>Everquest 2</em> players almost two free months of play time in either game.</p> <p>The program, dubbed "Living Legacy" by SOE, allows all previous players of either game (including those who only used trial accounts) to log in free of charge until the end of July (July 25 for <em>Everquest</em>, July 31 for <em>EQ2</em>, to be specific).</p> <p>To sweeten the deal even further, SOE is giving returning <em>Everquest</em> players the content found in <em>EQ </em>expansion <em>Secrets of Faydwer</em> free of charge, while <em>EQ2</em> fans will get to experience the <em>Rise of Kunark</em> add-on. Both games will also grant players a "unique bundle of new in-game items" just for logging back in.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/06/sony-offers-2-f.html">Sony Offers Two Free Months to Former Everquest Fans | Game | Life from Wired.com</a></p>
