Five years and still going strong...and getting even better! On March 16, 1999 the first generation of massively multiplayer online games burst onto the scene. The launch of EverQuest, a rich and dynamic fantasy world capturing the imaginations of thousands of people throughout the world, raised the bar of game design and content to unparalleled heights and set a new and challenging standard for the computer gaming industry.
To help celebrate EverQuest's 5th year anniversary, we remember the past, visit the present and take peak at the future in this three-part series of mini Q&A's by speaking with key individuals whose influence and guidance continue to see the world of Norrath grow. The Past - A Strong Foundation
For EverQuest to have grown and become what it is today, a strong and lasting foundation was needed, a foundation built from inspiration, dedication and the driving desire to create something fun.

The Present - I can't believe I get paid to do this!
On a daily basis, the EverQuest team works to better the game to create challenging experiences and fun entertainment for all the players. EQ is a work always in progress, always seeking to reach new heights.

The Future - Same name, but entirely different game
EverQuest II is not an expansion of EverQuest. It is an entirely new game based on an established world set hundreds of years in Norrath's future. Both games, EQ and EQII, will exist together in our real world. With EQ's upcoming engine update, many other great things in store and more people playing each day, the future of EverQuest is bright and lengthy.
