Question: Lords of EverQuest takes the realm of the entire EQ franchise away from the MMP/RPG genre and plants it firmly into the RTS realm. How much of the flavor of the EQ world is retained in this title?

James: We tried to retain as much as possible for Lore sake, because it is a phenomenal story and has so much to it, its almost like building a game based off of a huge movie. There is a great story to be told and we made great pains to try to shed some light on the past. Think of Lords as a prequel to a great story minus the long ears and bad accent. Pardon the Binks reference.
