Anyone know anyone that actually worked on EQ 1999-2001?

Given how much we all love this game, I think it's kind of strange that not many people discuss or think about what went into creating it and rather just look at it as some world that just appeared and exists. I'd love to hear commentary from the design team as far as what kind of discussions they had when designing classes, PC/NPC models, mechanics, zones, quests, items, intentions and inspirations.

Anyone know anyone that could do an AMA sort of thing?
