FGN Online had a chat with Verant's Brad McQuaid about Everquest : Scars of Velicious and why people are still playing Everquest[BLOCK]BM: MMORPGs need to focus on character development, encouraged social interaction, and exploration. I think EQ does well in all three categories, especially recently with exploration. We're just about to launch The Scars of Velious, EQ's second expansion, and the size of the world, the detail, and the number of quests and NPCs with whom to interact is becoming staggering[/BLOCK]I guess people still play it because they like sucky graphics :)
