No one's mentioned this before, and up until now its sort of been hazy when people have mentioned statistics, but I was seriously impressed on several levels seeing this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QwPMkan8fg&feature=video_responseA few statistics
More then 12 million characters have been created in Everquest
There are more then 15,000 quests, and over 21,000 spells and abilities
There are more then 89,000 unique items for the players to discover, create or buy.
And the one that blew me away, more then 3,000 of these items have never been discovered by players.
That last one showed a difference in philosophy, being happy to create content and not been influenced by how many people get to experience your content shows a purity in design I've not seen elsewhere where the bean counters dictate too many decisions these days.
