Do that many people play original EQ to justify the expansions it gets? It seems like they are releasing two a year. And what the hell are you fighting in the latest expansions? I thought the fourth or fifth expansion had you raiding the seemingly all powerful gods of the universe. A former co-worker tried updating me on all the stuff the added instead of just rasing the level cap (AA levels I think?) Way to much crap to keep track of.

How big is the EQ team these days?

This is unexpected, though not quite as unexpected as EA was. Are any of these MMO's even worth considering, other than Everquest II?

Also, does Sony have anything in the pipeline worth knowing about?
