'Kunark was meant to be more dark' Also Kunark: *Has Buryani*

[@alovingrobot406]

❤ Burynai ❤

I've never thought about that, but yeah. Kunark definitely feels very pulp, Robert E. Howard, Conan.

[@Murgledoo]

Kevin makes a really good point about how Kunark was developed with the intention of being more “dark”. Evil in Kunark takes a different approach then Classic which was a bit more traditional fantasy and cartoonish.

[@alovingrobot406]

I love the fantastic, more cartoonish feel of original EQ. It's something we talk about a lot with our new project. Kunark was great in going a bit darker, but also maintaining that for the most part. Good observation!

[@snowballandpals]

That's badass that we basically got to play some of his D&D campaigns in EQ!

[@saerain]

If I remember right, Norrath generally was largely based on someone's D&D campaigns, either Bill Trost or Tony Garcia I don't recall. edit: Yeah, Tony.

Really cool

[@trydar]

is there any way to get a copy of this 5k year history from that drawer it was in? im building norrath in minecraft and it would be helpful to know this backstory.

[@alovingrobot406]

Unlikely. Seems like most of the folks I've talked to no longer have access to their old docs.

@@alovingrobot406 oh, well thats a shame. I will make my own then from the fragments ive read online. thank you for replying, I much enjoy hearing about all the behind the scenes stuff from the people that actually made it. 🙂👍👍
