EverQuest Q&A #5

MMORPG.com has posted the fifth installment to their ongoing EverQuest Q&A, this time quizzing Sony Online's Travis McGeathy. Here's a taste:
Q: Are the classes balanced to the point where you like them, barring small tweaks?

A: In a game as complex as EverQuest, there are myriad different balance points even within a single class and when the game is always changing and growing like EverQuest is, every little thing we do causes the balance of the classes to shift and change. Class balance isn't really something where we can eventually set down the pencil and declare all classes to be balanced.its an ongoing process of continually evaluating the state of the classes and making changes where necessary to ensure that everyone is having an enjoyable play experience.
