Everquest Turns Nine

By Jim Rossignol on March 18th, 2008 at 9:30 am.


The MMO that spawned so many imitators has now been running for nine years. To celebrate, the EQ dev blog have produced a gigantic super-detailed timeline, recording all the major events of the game over that not-quite-decade. You can see the entire graphic here. Massively.com conducted a big old interview with EQ’s player-turned-lead designer, Travis McGeathy, to celebrate the anniversary.
