First off, the introduction. Who are you and what do you currently do?

The introduction eh? No one cares about that! They want to know about the game, so I'll make this brief. Yo me llamo Tim Heydelaar and I'm the Environment Lead for Everquest 2. I'm currently working on Rise of Kunark, the latest expansion for EQ2 - but as cool as I am, I'm not doing it alone so I'll proudly mention my Team who's been kicking major arse to make sure Kunark is filled with loads of awesomeness.

Can you describe to us the environment in Kunark?

The easiest way to describe the worlds in Kunark is huge. Basically, we're taking several zones and fusing them together to get a more seamless and progressive feel. Less zoning, more playing, and even more exploring, being one of the goals. Within each zone, you'll find several distinct areas - for example, the Fens of Nathsar has remnants of areas such as the Field of Bone, Swamp of No Hope, Ruins of Cabilis and more.
