SOE President John Smedley has written a letter titled Towards the Future on the EverQuest 2 site, covering everything from Blizzard as a competitor to the notion of skill-based combat as a provocative thought:With the launch of EverQuest in 1999, Sony Online Entertainment (back then we were Verant) was on the leading edge of what became a revolution in the video game business… Online Gaming. We certainly didn't invent it… in fact, we stood on the shoulders of some pretty amazing games, including Ultima Online… Meridian 59 and many, many other games including some great text MUDs.
EverQuest had that magic that propelled it to selling over 3 Million units over it's six year (well almost) lifespan. We've released 9 expansion packs during that time that have added an absolutely massive amount of content that we're pretty proud of. Certainly some of those expansions were better than others, but I think our goal has always been the same… to entertain our players. |
