Fight the Good Fight! on John Smedley's Blog (http://stationblog.wordpress.com/2006/04/07/fight-the-good-fight/)
Over the 10 years I've been involved with the EverQuest franchise (three years of development and seven years live), many people involved with the creation and maintenance of the game have come and gone from SOE, and yet Norrath lives on. Although the design team who created this world is no longer working on EQ, an entirely new and talented group of people have been working on the game since its launch. It is no longer about any one person. Norrath has a life all its own, and many new stories are still to be written. The current (and future) teams working on the game have a rich history to build upon, but they will also contribute to that history. This collaborative effort is pretty amazing when you think about it. ...In an MMO, this imaginative world can live on indefinitely, as long as there are designers with great ideas and players to give it life!
