Well, there's something going on about 'EverQuest' these days. If you visit the 'EverQuest' website at Sony Online Entertainment, you'll only get to see this splash screen right now. PlanetEQ is guessing that the mysterious screen may be related to an old article at IGN where an 'EverQuest' RTS was mentioned. The only official response so far was: Patience Is A Virtue.
OK, since I'm pretty good at wild guessing, too, here's my interpretation if you want to hear it *gg*. "Patience Is A Virtue" is the key to the mystery. EA has recently announced that it's punching out of the online business for a while. EA holds the 'Ultima Online' licence. Virtues are an essential part of the 'Ultima' games. Also, look at the orc's shoulder pad on the splash screen (lower left corner of the screen). Notice the rune-like insignia? Runes play an important role in the 'Ultima' universe as well.
Conclusion: Sony Online Entertainment has acquired the rights to do a game based on the 'Ultima' universe. Probably 'Ultima Online II'. Sony is going to announce the game at E3 in mid-May.
Maybe not... time will tell ;) . | Source: PlanetEQ |
