EQ2 steals ideas from MQ as well...

I just found this funny as it's part of the latest EQ2 patch:

(ie, scroll down the page and check out the screenshots on the spell descriptions)

....amazing how those resemble the MQ2 itemdisplay (spell info display) plugin...

Hell, in EQ you can now see names of NPCs (as long as they are merchants, guild masters, and such) on the map.

Then again, I've been playing using MQ so long, I have no idea when they changed that.

So many things SoE has done that are duplicates of MQ based work.
High honors there, though imitation.

haha yeah... the master's name in quotation marks in a pet's name is something that gets me... i dont actually know if thats MQ or normal EQ, along with the LDR for group leader and officer in guild etc etc

Master's name showing is from MQ2, so is LDR. Those are things that you see with MQ2 running, not part of EQ, same for showing officer info and guild leader info. All of it originated with MQ2. They could have done that in EQ but they didn't, so MQ took up the slack for the slackers.
