Once upon a time, in a land of dragons and knights, there was an MMORPG named EverQuest that ruled the world, obliterating all the competition with its mystical world filled with social-driven adventures; and for the longest time, life was happily lived in the realm of Norrath.

And then darkness befell Norrath: competition struck the vast kingdom, and the legions of fans spread themselves across the other MMORPG kingdoms like Dark Ages of Camelot, World of Warcraft, and City of Heroes.

Fairy-tales aside, EverQuest is not in the fight to be first in the MMORPG market any longer; now it’s fighting to just stay relevant in the midst of all the new titles in the market. With this in mind, it’s interesting to see how Dragons of Norrath caters to the dedicated crowd that’s still hangin’ around the ol’ stomping grounds.
