    Since it launched 25 years ago, 192 Game Dev Artists, have worked on the development of EverQuest.




    Since it launched, 192 artists have worked on EQ!

    Does this count players who have created corpse art in zones over the years?

    Cause if I'm being honest ... some of that has impressed me more than some of the more "WoW" like designs lately.

    Halloween ones, yes.

    Your statement was pure randomness about the number of artists. If you had said "finished compiling a list of all artists who have worked on EQ and the number is 192", probably wouldn't have said anything. But I assumed this information was on the 25th anniversary numbers poster so was hard to find a reference for your statement.

    My comment about not liking the "WoW"ification of certain art elements in the game still stands. And at least in the small circle of folks I converse with in game, it's pretty much the only thing we agree on.

    Yeah that's cool and all but which of those 192 did the weird face on the wall in East Karana by the Highpass ramp and what is it?

    Kinda cringe. Dev is just trying to say hey look, something neat happened, and he just gets attacked.

    Dev sticks head over parapet.

    Dev immediately gets sniped.

    "Why don't we get more dev input on the forum?" /ponder

    I want to know who did the graffiti on the qeynos sewers walls.
    They were amazing (and...informative!) 25 years ago, and now!

    I pity the plebs who started anywhere other than qeynos!

    Hey thank you and all of you that have given us such a great game throughput ALL these years! Through my young adult years and now 50s! Through good and bad times of life EQ was always there if I wanted to sink back into that wonderful world! Thank you!

    Probably Kevin Burns. That's also his cat on the wall in that one zone.

    All hail Mittens!

    Wish he was added as one of the cats in Laurion Inn. Maybe next expansion?

    Hold on. A developer can immortalize their cat in the prison boxes, yet we still don't have Ship to Ship combat? I'm cancelling all 72 of my accounts and filing a BBB complaint. Expect to hear from my lawyer as well.

    Love the old feel of EQ, before it started looking like EQ2. EQ looks too pretty now.
