Lords of EverQuest Interview

Game Club Central has conducted an interview with Sony Online's James Parker, asking the producer several questions about Lords of EverQuest. A snippet:
Q: Many people are comparing LoE to the successful Warcraft franchise from Blizzard. What does that kind of pressure do to a development team for a new game?

A: Well the pressure is something that is helping to stay motivated. Competition in the marketplace is a good thing, with it, it helps everyone get better. They make a great game we make a better game and than they turn around and make an even better game. This type of dynamic does nothing but help the genre as a whole.

As for the direct comparison, let's just say I do not sleep so well at night these days.
