    I am pretty sure it was SOE from the beginning. Certainly from very early on and long before it was launched, it was SOE.

    It's a combination of Verant Interactive and SOE.

     

    VI created EQ and was building SWG

    SOE bought VI which gave them EQ up front, and they also got the SWG license/build team from VI

     

    I can't remember how long from when SOE bought VI that SWG launched but I think it was at least a year, it's hard to recall SWG had many delays in getting out the gate.

    SOE, built and designed from scratch.

    The lead people were brought in from scrapped Privateer Online and Ultima Online.

    Also interesting, Verant was a Sony spin-off in the first place:
