EverQuest News - 10 Years of EverQuest
Posted by Keith Cross on Mar 17, 2009 | 2 comments in our forums
SOE has announced a series of events, both in-game and in real life, to mark the 10th anniversary milestone of the EverQuest franchise.
Sony Online Entertainment would like you to join us in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of EverQuest!
Without EverQuest, EverQuest II clearly wouldn't be here! Thanks to the hard work of so many artists, developers, designers, and everyone else who has been a part of the EQ team over the last 10 years, Norrath has continued to grow and become a second home to so many devoted players.
Check out the special 10th Anniversary website for all the info you need to know about this special celebration! And be sure to keep an eye on EQPlayers over the coming weeks for more details on in-game and out-of-game Community activities.
From all of us here at SOE, thank you for 10 wonderful years!

And Everquest would still be the number one all around MMO had SOE not gone greedy and forced EQ2 down people's throats. EQ2 is a really bad attempt at a MMO sequel. If SOE would have left well enough alone, EQ would be beating WoW right now for market share. They tried to hype EQ2 as the next logical progression of EQ and then made the game completely different. So much so that they had to redesign most of how the game works just to make it enjoyable...
Then they killed both games by adding Station Cash...SOE isn't even in teh running for top MMO developer any more...Which sucks because I was really hoping for a new MMO...but I won't give them my money..they lie, cheat, beg borrow and steal from their customers...
EQ2 didnt help EQ but what really hurt it was Gates of Discord expansion
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_of_Discord
(Smed) described the release of this expansion as "SOE's worst mistake in five years".[1]
I only know of one expansion worse than it -- DAOC's Trials of Atlantis
