Auch die Everquest-Entwickler lieben WoW :-)

Hier ein Auszug aus einem Interview mit dem Chef von Sony Entertainment(EverQuest2,SWG,Everquest1), John Medley, der sich voll des Lobes über WoW äußert:

...Now what's been interesting from our perspective is what really serious competition is doing to the online gaming space. World of Warcraft has come on the scene and is doing awesome. Kudos to Blizzard on what I think is a spectacular game. I've played the heck out of it, and I love it (as have many people here at SOE). To a game developer, having another game developer play your game is the ultimate compliment… so to the folks at Blizzard we say "Nicely done".

But don't think for a second that we don't see WoW as both a great game AND Blizzard as serious competition.

Personally… I'm glad they are out there. They keep us honest. They keep us focused and they force us to play with our 'A' game. They've certainly opened some eyes in our company to styles of gameplay that are different than we would have come up with inside SOE. I hope they're also opening up the eyes of other MMO developers that the 'old school' probably won't cut it any more...

Die Everquest Entwickler haben offenbar Geschmack Hier das ganze Statement:
