Sony Online Entertainment Interview

FiringSquad has conducted an interview with Sony Online Entertainment's John Smedley, in which the company president addresses two pages of questions about EverQuest, Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, their DC Comics MMORPG, and more. A little something to get you started:
Q: Everquest has moved into action-RPGs and RTS genres. Have there been any thoughts about developing other games in the Everquest universe, perhaps a pure action game or a single player only RPG?

A: There has been talk over the years of producing a Squaresoft- or Bioware-style RPG based on the EQ franchise, but we've never progressed much beyond talking about. It's not something that we'd ever rule out. Personally, I'd love to play an RPG based on the huge amount of lore that we've built up over the years.
