Today we announced a reduction in our workforce at SOE. As a company, our goal is to
focus on our core expertise of MMO games and as part of these efforts, we had to make
the difficult decision to eliminate positions to help reduce costs, streamline our
employee base and strategically align resources towards our current portfolio of games
and upcoming slate of MMOs, including EverQuest Next Landmark and EverQuest
Next. We deeply value our employees and are grateful for all they’ve contributed to our
company and games. They will be missed by colleagues and friends, and we wish them
well in the future.

Out of respect for our employees, we request that you do not discuss personnel matters on our forums. Thank you for your understanding.
