This week, we bring you recollections offered by developers on the EverQuest Development Team, as they look back fondly over eleven years of this groundbreaking game world. We hope you all enjoy their thoughts, and that you will share your own memories on our forums!

Today, March 10, 2010 we launched Convorteum, the add-on zone which completes the Underfoot Expansion! Convorteum is the home to the First Creation and he is looking to settle a score with Brell Serilis.
Where did January go? Lately, the days just seem to fly by. In the past two months, we launched our 16th expansion, Underfoot, spent some time away for the holidays, said hello to a new decade and stood in line with everyone else to see Avatar.
There’s no escaping it; the New Year is here and we can’t get caught watching the paint dry.
Greetings everyone!
It’s that time of year again – the time for putting up decorations, singing carols, fighting for a playoff spot, gaining a few pounds, and the time when everyone constantly clicks on the launcher trying to gain access to the newest EverQuest expansion! For some of you, the wait is now over! …and for people like me, the weight is now starting!
Here’s some more detailed information about the Dragon Brood Crypt Key that people have been curious about.
The Dragon Brood Crypt Key Loot Card will allow you to redeem the Dragon Brood Crypt key on one character, which will offer a quest that tells them where to go and what to do in order to gain access to the dragon’s crypt. For each person that has the key, they will be able to bring 5 other players with them to participate.
With much anticipation, the Mayong 51/50 Server went live Tuesday at 11:00am PDT! If you are hearing about the server for the first time, let me bring you up to speed.
When you create a character on the Mayong Server, you will start off at Level 51 and will be given 50 AA points to spend any way you like. There are 33 Boss Mob Encounters that reward you with first time kill titles, a bit more unique than if you were the second person to kill the Mobs.
About two weeks ago, Producer Clint Worley posted a letter announcing that he was moving off the EverQuest team. For many people, that opened up loads of questions and comments such as: “He was my favorite Producer, I’m going to miss him!”, “Where is he going?”, “Is he choosing to go?”, “Who’s taking his place?”, “I’ll bet it was because of that nerf he introduced in the last update”, etc… Well, I can assure you that he isn’t going far; he is going to be missed; no one strong-armed him into leaving; he still is the favorite producer of Betty in Topeka, KS.; it wasn’t because of a nerf; and lastly, it’s me jumping into the saddle to take his place.
It has been a wonderful time…
Being a part of the EQ franchise starting with EQOA and then Champions Return to Arms and now EverQuest has been a great experience. Moving onto the EQ team in a time of transition from 6-month expansions to 12-month expansions, and working to ramp up the amount of content we roll out for free throughout the year was a very challenging time for both our players and the developers.
The new server poll is drawing to a close this coming weekend! If you haven’t already voted, be sure to cast your vote by 11:59pm on Sunday, April 26th! Also, encourage your friends and fellow guildmates to vote as well.
Currently, the 51/50 server is the front runner. It will be interesting to see which one wins!
