Five years is a long time. Over those years, Everquest and the folks running it have encountered numerous challenges and accrued many successes. Ultima Online and Meridian 59 may be longer in the tooth, but I doubt that any other game can claim to have had as much of an affect on Massive games as Everquest. With this age and respectability has apparently come wisdom as well. Sony Online has begun a campaign to integrate the player base with the people making the game, incorporating the best ideas from the people who interact with the game the most into the plans of those who make it. The recent Guild Summit was supposedly just the first in a long line of changes being made to truly make Everquest a player's game. Atop this philosophical shift lies a commitment to graphics upgrades, content additions, and yet more expansions. Despite the fact that it's no longer #1 in the subscriber fight, Everquest is still one of the most venerated of MMOG titles.
