New EverQuest Show Episode!

THIS WEEK! In EverQuest - September 29, 2023

Ok so not a full episode, but Fading is back at it.

Thanks for posting this! Indeed I'm back at it! I still have great interviews with Brasse, Vhalen, Thom Terrazas and many more that i cant wait to bring you.

Not to mention the BIG EXCITING news that will be coming our way soon.

In the last 6 months I've moved and changed work schedules, but now I'm able to get some content out....

Next few episodes will feature :
-Interview with Brasse
-Fan Faires/SOE Lives through the years
-Vhalen's immense knowledge and lore, specifically where certain NPCs came from and keeping the lore in tact between games.
- Interview with Thom Terrazas
- A top secrett EQ project
- More EG7 analysis and the future of mmos by past and present Stewards of EQ

And lots more! Thanks for the support and I'll try to keep content flowing!

I hope the loss of one key developer and the rumored loss of another two don't hamper what DPG/DBG has planned for us.

I always enjoy Fading's content, and I look forward to the next installment, whether that's next week or next year.

I heard a rumor that there are many other developers in the world looking for jobs and might just fill one of these rumors err positions.

There's always EQ rumours, Smed is on his way back to head up EQ3, Scott Hartsmann is working on EQ3 code and other completely unfounded nonsense (those were going around a year ago).

EQ has always had a somewhat fluid workforce & tbh it has from the outside looking in been more stable the past 5 years.
But a tenure at SOE/Daybreak has been a fantastic launchpad, pun intended, onwards to a career in games creation, heck even players of EQ have gone on to jobs in the industry, even after pretty inflammatory rhetoric you might think would disqualify them.

Never say never though.

Also to a career in awesome t-shirt creation: https://niteowlink.com/

Who's gone now?

In addition to the three I had mentioned earlier. Qwalla is now gone also.

Thank you. You are a true professional.

Anyone know where Qwalla went? I'm tempted to think of Australia but there are other options I suppose.

Qwalla's gone?

Qwalla is now working as game designer for Zenimax on The Elder Scrolls Online MMORPG. I really liked her. She was friendly and liked to communicate with players.

Well that sucks for us but I don't blame her. I have a strong feeling that they were suppressing her ideas creativity while severely limiting what she was allowed to do. I really liked her as well and enjoyed our chats in Discord.

Glad to hear! I was just recently wondering this. I am looking forward to the next release.

Not good.

Also not bad. Fresh eyes mean fresh ideas.

Qwalla was still relatively new, coming in at ToL. It was Qwalla that put in the fun item drops in VT, and Qwalla that put in the mercenary items in Darklight. I think Qwalla did a really good job as a dev and was creative and tried to make it fun for us as well.

Another update with all the Producer's Letter news, along with a sneak peak at the upcoming episode!
