| Considering that pretty much every major MMOG out right now, ESPECIALLY WoW, owes much of it's core gameplay elements to ones originally popularized (note I didn't say created) by EQ, I'd say that the praise of McQuaid and company is justified. EQ damn near singlehandedly made the MMOG genre a commercial success. I realize UO came first, but EQ blew it out of the water in terms of commercial and popular success (professional athletes admitting to playing it and so on). |
