Interesting. This was all learned while I played Everquest. I'm glad I never got into WoW. It seems like all the same. In fact if you subsitute "Everquest" with every reference to "World of Warcraft" in this article I don't think anyone would know the difference.

- scruple 11y agoAlso Jeff Kaplan [0] and Alex Afrasiabi [1]. Given the origin story of WoW... I'm not sure I'd call it the spiritual successor, per se. Though I do understand what you're saying and it definitely took a turn towards EQ after the people we've mentioned here came aboard.
