EverQuest Progression Server Interview

Ten Ton Hammer has published an interview with Sony Online’s Chris Lena, quizzing the producer about the new EverQuest “Progression Servers” that were launched in late June.

Q: How has the existing EverQuest community responded to the Progression servers? Has the feedback from the EQ vets been positive? From the newcomers?

A: During the beta period of the progression servers we definitely got some flak from the players that weren’t interested that we were spending too much time on these special servers. I hope that as we start rolling out the other changes we have been working on that those people will realize that the normal live service has not suffered. In fact, the progression servers have helped us tremendously with the tuning of the newbie experience overall and specifically for the new race that is coming out with the expansion in September.
