WoW so followed EQ

[Reiker]

A lot of well and lesser known ex-EQ players were cherry picked for WoW, not just Furor.

I believe Tigole was(is?) part of development team in some aspect for WoW.

Is it just me, or does the WoW releases remind you of EQ? I mean, look at the expansions, Burning Crusade had that desert look like Kunark. Frozen throne is like well, frozen Velious and now the latest expansion gives the whole world a new make over, new beast race the Worgen and I bet you some how they end up going to the moon. They even have a new city called "Vashj'ir", wtf?

If you didn't get the new collector's edition of the new Everquest II expansion. You probably didn't see the documentary called "Evercracked!" They interviewed some of the lead designers of WoW from Blizzard and they said themselves they played Everquest and if it wasn't for the game, WoW wouldn't be around or like it is today.

Check out the documentary it's pretty sweet and nostalgic.

Lots of WoW devs were avid EQ players (and many of them were in Legacy of Steel)

Poly thats not right, little history for you all.

EQ started out on its own. and sony bought it from the Developers, they kept those same guys building EQ and its updates and new releases. then at one Point Sony did not think they needed them anymore and basicly screwed those guys out of the deal Sony had cut with them. and in turn firing them. that same team went to Blizzard after that in no time we had WoW online. alot of old school EQ guys know this as we watched it happen. and fast sony went to work ruining one of the greatest games ever put online.
