EverQuest II Interview

GameGossip has conducted an interview with Steve Danuser, asking Sony’s community manager several questions about the upcoming EverQuest sequel. An excerpt, as usual:

Q: How are you going to make this game welcoming to new EverQuest players?

A: We have streamlined our user interface to make it easy for new gamers to understand and use–the goal is that you should be enjoying the game, not struggling with controls. Our tutorial guides players through the basics of interacting with the world and introduces some of the storyline that will be evolving throughout the game. Then we take you to the Isle of Refuge where you will interact with other players and really get a feel for what the game is about. The goal through all of this is to immerse the player into our world and really make the adventure come alive. We intend for new players and veterans alike to be blown away by our game and become enthralled by the Norrath of the future.
