Everquest II's Tony "Vhalen" Garcia talks about lore and forum quests |
Ó
EverQuest II's mysterious "Sage of Lore" always leaves clues about Norrath in History and Lore boards over at the EQ2 forums. As such, he has gotten quite a following. With such popularity, it becomes more difficult to keep his identity a secret.Mysterious no more, game designer Tony "Vhalen" Garcia sat down with Warcry and talked about the lore of EverQuest. Being involved in the creation and maintenance of lore in EverQuest, Vhalen has developed the foundation lore of the EQ2 universe. He maintains the lore vision and primary story arc, and integrating ideas from other designers.
The EQ2 lore has some elements that didn't make it to the original EverQuest, but that didn't mess up the timeline of events in EQ2. Vhalen has avoided using exact dates because of the nature and mechanics of the game, but he knows where the major events fall in relation to one another.
Players who've enjoyed "The Idol of Everling" (through a concept called "forum quests") have been clamoring for a similar type of quest. And their wishes wouldn't fall on deaf ears, as two new forum quests have already been worked out. Unfortunately, Vhalen's duties are keeping him from implementing the quests at this point.
Vhalen then went to talk about well-known characters like Foci, Lucan D'Lere, Dancer, and The Greenhoods.
Before Warcry lets him go, Vhalen left a bit of "lore candy" to tide us over until the next forum quest: The future of EverQuest II is the key to destiny.
