EverQuest Legends dev says 'I'm sure we would' add new classes, races 'in the longer-term vision of the game'
Old game, new timeline.
In a recent Twitch stream, developers from Daybreak Games and Game Jawn discussed ambitious plans for the future of EverQuest Legends. Executive producer David Youssefi stated that they had discussed adding new classes and races, but it was unlikely to have a new class by the upcoming Kunark expansion. However, he expressed certainty that such additions would be considered for the longer-term vision of the game.
Game Jawn CEO and technical director Eda Spause also echoed this sentiment, indicating that new classes were indeed a possibility. Lead content designer Eric Wellman added that it ultimately depends on the amount of work required and whether it is worth the effort. Spause seemed to agree, stating that while she believes new classes would be a good addition, the reality is that they have a lot of other work to do.
While Legends is essentially a casual-friendly remake of an old game, this long-term ambition resembles the "Classic+" version of World of Warcraft, which was inspired by the private server scene for the original EverQuest. All classes from even the modern version of the original EverQuest are already represented in Legends, so the addition of new classes would provide an opportunity for the game to build new playstyles on an established foundation.
