EQ2Wire was fortunate enough to interview EQ2 Lead Designer Kyle “Kander“ Vallée for today’s Altar of Malice expansion launch to talk about a broad spectrum of topics including:
- The building blocks of MMORPG content design and how collaboration between artists, animators, musicians, and designers makes it possible for a cohesive expansion with a strong theme and storyline.
- The new Altar of Malice zones as they fit into Solo, Adv Solo, Heroic, Event Heroic, and Raid playstyles
- How Altar of Malice builds on the Itemization bedrock laid by Tears of Veeshan
- A hint of what we can expect in next year’s content-focused updates.

Feldon commentary
----------------------------------
Next week the EQ2 team will be posting some focused feedback threads to find out what bugs players most, and what quality of life changes they’d like to see.
Also at some point in the future the EQ2 team plan to tweak the Item examine windows in-game to be a little more organized.
Also we can look forward to bigger updates next year like one in early Spring which will add a new raid, heroic, and adv solo with a totally new theme (not an existing repurposed zone).
We already heard about Public Quests and Deity Revamp and Cross-server Dungeon Finder next year.
