How was EverQuest Next programmed?

I'm curious as to what language(s) were used for EverQuest Next and also what Frameworks were used (if necessary)?

    They bought the voxel technology from another company (which name escapes me atm) and was written in C++.

    The technology can be quote "integrated with existing engines" which is essentially what they did, they pluged it into their forgelight engine also written in c++.

    Most non-browser games are done in C++ although a few exceptions exist.  I think WoW was mostly C, and was simply a modified Warcract 3 engine, for example.

    the voxel tech came from: http://voxelfarm.com/vfweb/index.html

    if you have any interest in this the man behind it is pretty damn on the ball sharp.

    Actually the story bricks guys are working with SOE rather than just selling the software I guess. Psychochild is pretty boss! He and Q bought the rights to Meridian 59 from 3DO and relaunched it. Since then the original Kirmsey brothers who created the game bought it back and run it for free(completely).

    Still though, Psychochild is the man! Lol

    I am a developer, using Visual Studio.  Lots of charts and graphs kind of things.  The only thing I can tell you for sure is that they are not using Visual Studio. :-)

     

    I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

    as said before, every propper game usualy is coded in a c derivat... eg c, c++ or c# (usualy the 2nd)

     

    EQN runs on the forgelight engine (which is their own development, originally used in PS2).
