Oh yeah, Mayong is one of Bill Trost's D&D creations. A lot of the lore he brought to the EQ world was heavily D&D inspired. The city of Neriak is basically Norrath's version of Menzoberranzan, the underworld city of Dark Elves from Forgotten Realms fame (Drizzt's home).

His original planes map is pretty cool also:

Plane of Love!?! Can you imagine how many babies woulda been made there? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I believe if Trost wasn't a part of making the game, we would have ended up with something we probably wouldn't still be playing today.

Thanks Bill!

Nice, I read that Blackburrow was one of Bill's old D&D settings that they put into the game as well. Classic Everquest was pretty damn close to a computer version of D&D in alot of ways.

The Plane of Mud sounds pretty badass. It would explain where all the Muddite men from the Gorge of King Xorbb are from.
