Another big question that many of us had about EverQuest in general was how the current team thought about what impact the next generation of games being released would have on EQ. The team was very enthusiastic about the game future describing to us how whenever another game was released into the market EverQuest would not lose in subscribers, but actually grow as the number of mmorpg players increased. Both games would succeed and the total numbers only grew, they were not divided. The team expects this general attitude to continue as they have big plans for the future of EverQuest and have no intentions of letting the game stagnate.
We were given some inside information on some zones, some of which would be completely new and some of which would be old zones redone. Best of all, these new zone changes and additions will be completely free. Some of these include the Plane of Hate and Veksar. Veksar is the underwater city in the Lake of Ill Omen and will be aimed for Level 50 – 65 players where the Plane of Hate is being redone to allow for smoother pathing and while it maintains its original feel will provide a new spark of life to the hate experience.
