qeynos is sony eq backwards like someone else said, but the weird part is that qeynos existed when verant made the game. Some people make a huge ditinction betweent verant and soe. sony must have been part of the original though.

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 was put in charge of SISA's development of an online computer role-playing game that would evolve into EverQuest. He hired Brad McQuaid and Steve Clover as programmers for the game in March.
In April 1998, Sony Online Entertainment was formed by merging Sony Online Ventures with Sony Pictures Entertainment. [1] (http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/19841) Within months SISA was renamed 989 Studios. EverQuest, which was credited to being developed by 989 and published by SOE at launch, entered beta in 1998.
Towards the end of 1998, 989 Studios shifted strategy to making PlayStation console games only. The company's computer game/online development branch spun off, initially calling itself RedEye Interactive and then soon after Verant Interactive. [2] (http://www.cdmag.com/articles/017/143/verant.html) EverQuest was released in March 1999 and promptly earned commercial success.
Sony and Everquest have always been together.
