EQ did a great many things right, and fans will be pleased to hear that Verant will retain its strengths. One of EQ's major pluses was the world in which it took place Norrath. This evolved to become an incredibly detailed and diverse fantasy world. Many of the locations in the original EQ will reappear in EQ2, but with changes to show the passage of time and events. Certain cities will return, others will not, but Verant hope to engender a feeling of skewed familiarity within EQ veterans. They have stated, however, that players will not be able to transfer characters from EQ over to the sequel no doubt to avoid a glut of titans inhabiting neo-Norrath from day one. As a consolation, Verant are toying with the idea of allowing the descendents of long time EQ players to appear in the sequel. These descendents would have an illustrious ancestry as the offspring of near-gods. It's a very nice touch.
