EverQuest II

Interview with Scott Hartsman

Warcry has had an Interview with Scott Hartsman regarding Everquest 2 and the upcoming expansion. He had the following to say:

>But that’s jumping ahead of the conversation. I twitted him about the Estate of Unrest not making the launch of Echoes of Faydwer and amidst denials of culpability and claims of "someone must have gotten an old zone list and somehow it made it onto box artwork..." we segued into the new zone scheduled to be released in a Game Update in February. > >"No, it’s not on test, but being play-tested internally and will be released in February," he told us of the zone. > >The Estate of Unrest must be one of the zones most nostalgically remembered by EQ players. The trains were epic and although Scott promises trains, he also promises that they will be no where as large as those in the original zones. "No, no aggro through floors, but hey... it’s a house with a front door, a back door and a side door. How else are you going to leave it?" > >I suggested jumping off the balcony and his eyes gleamed at the thought of the old social aggro trains of old Unrest. After a bit of reminiscence, we went back to the new zone. > >"How to re-introduce the zone in EverQuest II without copying EverQuest is one of the biggest challenges our developers face," said Scott. We talked about the fountain in the courtyard, the gazebo, the little canal and the hedge maze, all which would be retained.
