Howdy folks! I’ve recently been added to the EQ team, and thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Derelict, and I’m excited about joining the team! I’ve been working at SOE for the past seven years as a senior software engineer on Free Realms and Clone Wars Adventures. I am also a long-time EQ player, and started in April of 1999 (EQ was an April 15th tax-day present to myself). I played for many years on Bristlebane, and was very active in a couple of guilds, raiding whenever I could. My wife still hasn’t forgiven me for some of the corpse runs. I’m pleased to be able to give back to a game that gave me so much entertainment over the years! I look forward to you all having fun with what I’m working on when it is released! I was very active in the Clone Wars Adventures forums, and am excited about interacting with all of you here (and SOE Live, for those who attend). Good hunting! D
Welcome, Derelict. I have a feeling your thread's gonna be a little barren considering what got posted with it.
Welcome! You went from designing software for a game designed for 14 year olds, and now you are working on a game that is 14 years old.
As all good nicknames are, it was bestowed upon me by former guildmates It could just as easily been Healer-Who-Falls-Asleep-During-Raids. D
I just hope he designs items that are not marketed to a 14 year old here. Ornate more realistic. No bulky cartoony looking crap please! =)
Welcome Derelict, I used to play on Bristlebane and started the same month that you did. I was Minemi Mind (Mini-Me) a gnome necro and Menamien Iscariot a wood elf druid. That was a long time and many servers ago
Free Realms? Sounds like that makes you and Ellyra EQ dev rivals now since you both came from that game!
