taken from the new bst site:

At the end of the last dungeon, you meet an enigmatic mob called "The Architech".

You tell your guild, "WTF?"

You say, "Hail."

You say, "Hail, The Architech"

The Architech eyes you warily and informs you that this is the [third existance of Everquest] and [it is dying].

You say, "what third existance?"

You sigh at The Architech, cleary disappointed.

You say, "what third existance of Everquest?"

The Architech says, "The first system was MUD based, but it failed, because text-based games suck. The second iteration attempted to meld a rudimentary eight-bit graphical interface, but the users revolted because it seemed too much like something AOL would make. It wasn't until the person commonly known as "The One" was hired by 989 studios that a game was created that would be accepted by 98.9% of the Beta testers. You know this man as McQuaid."

You say, "what about it is dying?"

The Architech says, "The current version of Everquest is plagued by imbalanced characters, unfinished quests and technical errors. Mudflation has spiraled out of control to the point where even clerics can solo dragons. This is obviously unaccpetable. Before you are two doors. You can either choose to go into the door on your right, where you will be allowed to chose 18 of your guild mates to go with you to form the first guild in Everquest 2, or you can choose the door on your left, where you can return to deal with mobs that quad for 6K and have AE deathtouch."
