Connections between Game of Thrones and Everquest

I keep running across things in Norrath that remind me of Game of Thrones, I realize some of it probably is coincidence, but is it?

Did Everquest inspire some of the GoT producers? Perhaps some of them played EQ?

Not to point out the obvious... but GoT was a book before a TV show, so if EQ inspired anyone, it would be GRRM , not a bunch of *producers*.

The books were out before EQ was released says the internet.

Well I don't know the history of the TV show etc., never read any GoT books sorry to be ignorant of that fact. I only know the show from TV. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The first two books were published before EQ launched.

Tons of ASOIAF-inspired content in EQ, news at 11.

How old are the books then? I should check them out wonder if they decent to read, I had no idea they were written so long ago. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, I can't tell you how many Sansa's and Jofrey's I went to high school with. Oh wait-- I can: None. Common names where?

Lots of references to different pop culture stuff in EQ.

In EQ2, there's also Sir Loros Highgarden from "The Shadow Odyssey" expansion, which is also a reference to "A Song of Ice and Fire": http://eq2.zam.com/db/mob.html?eq2mo...9e67188b3e3832
