Personas will let EverQuest II heroes level another class. The feature arrives with Descent to Val'Zyroth.

Beta testing and preorders begin October 13 at 17:00 UTC (10:00 a.m. PT), per Darkpaw's producer's letter. This is not the expansion's release. Prices and entry requirements are missing from the letter, so the shared start time does not establish that a preorder guarantees access.

Personas share inventory, completed quests and achievements, but each class levels separately from level one. The FAQ says gear restrictions remain, existing alts cannot be merged, and a Persona cannot be deleted. Adding one also stops that character changing class through betrayal.

The story takes players into Underfoot to confront Queen Cristanos, with Neriondalon and Brell Serilis' workshops among the destinations. Paths of Sedition starts the buildup on October 6 at 07:00 UTC (midnight PT). A developer livestream follows on November 18; its start time is not given.

Personas require both server support and an account that owns the feature, so don't assume they apply everywhere in EverQuest II. Darkpaw has yet to give Descent to Val'Zyroth a release day.
