Today’s Terrors of Thalumbra Twitch livestream included a ton of information about EverQuest II’s twelfth expansion, including what you get for the Standard, Collector’s and Premium editions. However it didn’t give us that all-important bullet-point list of the number of Zones, Quests, and other Details that players seek.

We’ve also updated our Pre-Order article with this information.
