The question was simple("Will we ever see EQ1 gods or their planes?") and so was the answer. There was no soft language like "we don't plan to right now" or "we're not sure".
Not trying to diss SOE but what I quoted from your post is total bullshit and you were in the room at the summit that they flew us to when I asked. Call that unofficial if you like.
Either way I'm glad they finally changed their minds, I just wish it had been while I was still playing.  |
Hence the intentional inclusion of the word "officially". I actually added that in because I couldn't specifically remember any mention of the subject in the '05 Summit.
I know I was there, but I'll be honest, I can't recall exactly what was said in the room in nearly 2 1/2 years ago. If it didn't make my notes from that day (and no references to gods or planes did), then I can't tell you what was said or by whom. I'm sure I'm as human as the next guy, which means that even if I could recall a discussion on that subject, I'd be flavoring it through a heavy fog of memory and likely to screw up the quote.
So I can't deny or confirm either way, and really I'm not trying to. All I can say is that they've never
officially stated "never", which is what I presume Zulljin was working from - since I'm pretty sure
he wasn't in the room that day.
P.S. - To be fair, I don't consider 90% of what goes on in a Summit to be "official". At least half of what's discussed in those Summits never goes live, and I viewed the first few Summits as developer/player brainstorming sessions. We griped, they listened, they answered - mostly "off the record".
Some things made it into the game rather quickly. Other ideas fell right to the floor apparantly, even some ideas generally taken to be universally liked and well thought of.
