Whiteboard of a mad man: An EQ dev blog

Are you the type of person who watches every second of behind-the-scenes and deleted scenes footage on your DVD bonus disk? If you are, then this recent EverQuest developer blog from Keith "Merloc" Turkowski might be right up your alley.

In it, Merloc shows us a photo of the whiteboard he used during The Buried Sea expansion. This is where his ideas (and those of a few others mentioned in the post) were sketched out into what would eventually be real game content. Of course, not all of it made it into the game -- such as a giant green tank sketch in the middle of the board -- but for those sketches and ideas that did make it in, it's exciting to see the initial thought processes involved.
