From the outset, Lords of Everquest seems to have plenty of potential. For starters it is based on one of the most successful games of all time, one so addictive it is often referred to as "evercrack" and so dominant in the genre of MMPORPGs that it is seen as a benchmark by which other similar titles are judged by. Sony Online Entertainment, the publishers, have a strong reputation for quality titles, such as Everquest itself and Planetside. The developers Rapid Eye Entertainment, while new, have a pedigree of their own, being made up largely of ex-New World Computing personnel. New World Computing has a long and illustrious history, and were responsible for a host of top selling titles, including the Might and Magic series, and one of my all time favourites, Nuclear War, from as long ago as 1989. With that kind of pedigree, one would expect great things of Lords of Everquest.
