I have run into a few comments across the net about the legality of Nevergrind due to having a lot of similar concepts as EverQuest and Diablo 2. When I decided to monetize, I did my homework and changed the game as much as I thought necessary. Even using stuff like the Kunark titles is fair play as far as I can tell. Check out these links on the topic. Interesting reading if you get excited about this sort of thing: |

before Lake of Ill Omen existed in the world of Norrath, it was the name of a lake in the dark world in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on SNES  and many names of NPCs in EverQuest were taken from outside sources. in particular a lot of the names were taken from the A Song of Ice and Fire book series (aka Game of Thrones) would be pretty hypocritical for the EQ team to take offense to NG borrowing some names and concepts. |

Everquest was derivative of DIKU Mud. At least according to Bernie Yee. |
