During in the early 2000s, Sony Online Entertainment dominated the MMORPG scene with EverQuest. You couldn’t speak about PC gaming without mentioning the fantasy franchise. Then the developer hit a creative roadblock, releasing a series of lackluster expansion packs and new entries that Sony even admitted were more of the same, pushing gamers towards the genre’s other blockbuster offerings such as World of Warcraft and League of Legends.
