History

Sony Online Entertainment and Verant's history can be seen as starting with Sony Interactive Studios America (SISA), an internal game development studio of Sony that formed around 1995. In 1996, John Smedley (known to the gaming community as "Smed") was put in charge of SISA's development of an online computer role-playing game, or MMORPG that would evolve into EverQuest. Smed hired programmers Brad McQuaid and Steve Clover who had come to Smedley's attention through their work on the singleplayer RPG Warwizard. 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...

In April 1998, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) was formed by merging parts of Sony Online Ventures with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Within a matter of months after this change, Sony Interactive Studios America was renamed 989 Studios. 1998 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ... 989 Studios logo 989 Studios was a division of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) that developed games for the PlayStation consoles and Windows personal computers. ...

Towards the end of 1998, 989 Studios shifted its strategy to making PlayStation console games only.

EverQuest: The Ruins of Kunark (March 2000) was the first in a long list of expansions for its hit MMORPG. In October 2001, McQuaid resigned and went on to found Sigil Games Online, drawing many of the original developers of EverQuest from SOE to develop their Vanguard: Saga of Heroes MMORPG, released January 2007. 2000 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December This is a timeline for events in April, 2000. ...

In 2003 the company also explored relatively untouched MMO territory with the MMOFPS PlanetSide and the PlayStation 2 MMORPG EverQuest Online Adventures. Planetside enjoyed a reasonably successful launch, however the product never attracted wide popularity. SOE has released two expansions for Planetside, one a retail product called Core Combat, and a second free expansion titled Aftershock. Planetside can be played for free under a "Reserves" program, that limits character advancement, but otherwise grants full access to the game.

Criticisms

SOE has received widespread criticism within online gaming communities resulting from a tendency to 'dramatically' change gameplay long after games have been released and their gameplays established.

Despite efforts to improve The Matrix Online, there have been constant problems during the time the game was first transitioned to SOE. Live Events have been limited when the Live Events Team was laid off during the game's transition from Monolith to SOE as of the summer of 2005, and certain Live Events have been server-exclusive as opposed to being accessible on all servers when the game was under Monolith Productions's management due to an under-staffed development team. The Live Events are only available during regular times in the United States, but players in Europe and Asia complain that they do not have such access to such events due to the time difference, making attendance impossible ^[1]. A recurring problem called the "Downtown Lag" had been problematic before the game's transfer to SOE, in which latency automatically skyrockets when players enter a certain part of the Downtown district,^[2] most likely as a result of merging nine servers into three.^[3] Despite numerous server restarts, this problem is on-going even as of today. Rarebit, one of the Matrix Online developers, stated that the Downtown Lag is a server configuration problem, which is something that the Matrix Online development team is currently trying to fix^[4] As of Feburary 23, 2007, the Downtown Lag has shifted to the eastern portion of the map, though the developers are still working on it.^[5] The Matrix Online (MxO) is a MMORPG developed by Monolith Productions. ...
