Holly "Windstalker" Longdale, now the Executive Producer for both EverQuest & EverQuest II, has posted letters on the EverQuest and EverQuest II forums. She introduces herself to EverQuest players, and offers reassurances that both games will continue development.

You can read and comment on both letters on the official game forums. The main point seems to be to invite everyone to livestreams. Here's the info:


Twitch livestream on Wednesday, February 18 at 2pm PT at twitch.tv/DayBreakGames

Developer posted

EQ isn't going anywhere. We're not shutting down. We're NOT going into "maintenance mode". We're continuing to make expansions. Re-confirmed with Smed just 30 minutes ago.
