MMORPG was recently able to score an interview with Everquest's project manager Jose Araiza and the game's lead designer, Travis McGeathy, where they talked about the recently released expansion, The Serpent's Spine.

First off, Araiza said that by making the expansion downloadable, they were able to put more time into polishing the art and the game's overall graphics system, as compared to earlier expansions where they were forced to make the process quick and fast because of the whole release date pressure.

Also, both Araiza and McGeathy confirmed that the spell upgrades system used in Serpent's Spine will be the blueprint for future spells and skills. As for the Alternate Advancement system, McGeathy says that there are plans to revamp the AA system so that users under level 50 will be able to access them.

In addition to AA revamps, Araiza also said that there will be free zone revamps pretty soon, and they will be announcing this so make sure you stay tuned for that. If you wanna know more about the Serpent's Spine and get updated on the latest buzz on Everquest and Everquest II, make sure you check back with us 'coz we will keep you posted for more (and any) developments. *winks*
