EverQuest II: Desert of Flames Interview

Stratics has conducted an interview with SOE's Scott Hartsman, in which the EverQuest II senior producer addresses questions about the game's upcoming Desert of Flames expansion pack. A snip:
Q: You say 12 new zones. Are these twelve unique zones? Can you give us any detail of what you have created?

A: Those are unique, yes. The number has actually gone up in the time between our releasing the first information until now - We've had time to add even more instances to the expansion, bringing the grand total of "Places to Go" (including instances) to upwards of 45 adventure areas taking place in something like 15 distinct sets of geometry.

Sometimes we only use part of a zone for a given adventure or instance, and use another part for another adventure. So what we call "one zone" in EQ2 can often times be two completely unique looking and playing experiences.
