Two different departments with two distinctly different purposes.

But ran by a man that was with everquest from the start : John Smedley.

Smedley was involved with the creation and development of the original EverQuest and was co-founder of Verant Interactive, Inc., which became Sony Online Entertainment, Inc. (SOE) after it was purchased by Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2000, Smedley Became president of SoE in 2002, when Brad left.

So ... You know what.. I think you are stating opinons as fact when you say the two companies had different purposes =) I think their main purpose was to make money. Control of the game never left VI founders.
