CultureEverQuest’s biggest fans are leading its revival

Live-service games and the companies behind them are facing serious trouble. Games and developers are being shut down or stripped back, while publishers’ sweeping promises appear increasingly dubious. Against that backdrop, EverQuest, an early pioneer of the live-service model, is making a forceful return more than 25 years after its debut. EverQuest Legends is currently in a preorder beta, with its release still ahead.
