Several years back, and several stone heavier (very much pre-Judo) I was very much into EverQuest. Despite everything being much healthier now, I do sometimes look back at those times with some nostalgia.

(It is amusing seeing World of Warcraft players have the exact same debates, rants and severe social issues as EQ though. Nothing changes!)

Now, one of the lead developers (and subsequently producer of EverQuest 2), has called it a day.

Brings those memories flooding back! It will be an interesting blog to keep an eye on. It is a huge development feat to keep that sort of game running, and one I am always interesting in learning about. Server farms, large databases, fast responses, network traffic etc.
