EverQuest II Q&A, Edition #1

The EQVault let us know that they’ve posted the first edition in a series of bi-weekly mini-Q&As with the developers of EverQuest II. A snippet to follow:

Q: One thing many people are looking forward to is boats. Will piracy be a possibility in EQII? And what types of other encounters do you have planned for the high seas?

A: Due to the fact that the face of Norrath has been broken into numerous continent-sized islands, boats will play a key part both in the initial exploration of the world and in the ongoing adventures that will persist throughout the life of the game. At launch, players can expect to run into many classic high seas encounters. Pirates, sirens and monsters from the deep will all seek to destroy or waylay the player explorers. But the adventure that players will find on the deck of their ships is not limited to the expected . . nor to ‘adventure’ in the traditional sense.
