Sabertooth Games Announces New
EverQuest II Collectible Card Game
April 24, 2003 (TUKWILA, WA) — Sabertooth Games Inc. (a subsidiary of Games Workshop Group PLC) today announced that it has signed a deal to create a collectible card game (CCG) based on Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming EverQuest® II computer game. The game, tentatively titled Guild Wars will allow fans of EverQuest and the upcoming EverQuest II to experience the fantasy world of Norrath in a brand new way. In the game, players will take on the role of prominent guilds battling for prestige on a "server." Guild Wars will be released a month before the launch of the EverQuest II (www.everquest2.com) game, allowing players a sneak peek at the content of the highly-anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
"The EverQuest franchise is the dominant brand in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game category, and having seen much of the upcoming content in EverQuest II, we can see that dominance will continue far into the future," said Robert Watts, CEO of Sabertooth Games, Inc. "We know that lots of current and past fans of the EverQuest franchise are also fans of collectible card games, which makes this a natural product for Sabertooth Games."
"The popularity of fantasy-based collectible card games has grown exponentially over the last four years since EverQuest initially launched, and the timing is perfect for Sabertooth Games to bring our brand and lore to the fans in an entirely new way," said Mark Chuberka, director of business development at Sony Online Entertainment, Inc. "Sabertooth is creating a fun, high-quality, collectible card game that will deliver engaging gameplay for all who play Guild Wars."

I am not surprised, the question is, What next?
Everquest ties?
Everquest Chocolate bars? (taste like real gnomes!)
Frogloks legs? (Specifically for the french market)
Everquest underwear (Ever wanted to get into Firiona Vie's pants? Now you can....)
Everquest Sports gear (Just camp it!)
I <3 Smedley and Smedley 4 Washington bumper stickers (No one would buy them, but it's a reflection of the man's ego)
Everquest airlines (Porting to a destination near you!)
VI are corporate whores, who'll do anything to get your money.
