SOE President Discusses Console MMOGs, Future of EQ

Posted October 5th, 2008 by Cody Bye

Are you ready for another EverQuest?

The ever talkative John Smedley was recently interviewed at the New York Games Conference where he discussed console MMOGs and made a hint about the future of the EverQuest series. Perhaps the most intriguing element of the interview is his discussion about expanding the genre past its RPG roots.

MTV Multiplayer: With the success of “WoW” and now “Warhammer Online,” it seems that fantasy MMOs are still doing well. Do you feel that straying off with “The Agency” and “DCUO” has a high risk factor?

Smedley: That’s not all we have in development. It’s pretty safe to say that “EverQuest” has not seen its last game. So we’ve got our own cards to play there, and I think we will play them at the right time. But the quality level will be something that people will be very happy with.
