I believe we shouldn’t have started EverQuest II when we did, but we had no idea how long the original EverQuest was going to go on for…I wish we could have had that one back. We probably would’ve done it differently - we still would have made the game, but we just wouldn’t have called it EverQuest II.
John Smedley, President of SOE and one of the creators behind the original EverQuest (from interview in EDGE #215, June 2010)
Before acknowledging the unnecessary sequel to EverQuest, Smedley also admits to SOE completely decimating Star War Galaxies with NGE. I’d probably still be playing that game.
