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: Thats not all we have in development. Its pretty safe to say that EverQuest has not seen its last game. So weve 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.
