I used to play EQ with Curt Schilling. He was in my guild, he and I killed Lord Nagafen together. Very nice guy, and he ended up trading a guildmate a signed jersey, ball, and glove, for some in game EQ items. It was funny as hell.
Salvatore was also a very nice guy in EQ, played on his server, had some very nice conversations with him. They have been working on this MMO for quite for some time, or at least designing it, maybe not developing it.
I will be very interested to see what McFarlane comes up with for monsters, and Salvatore writes for a store for their universe. Definitely a game to keep an eye on, and it sounds like they are trying to bring back to the "feel" of EQ, like when you first started. They want to bring back that "holy ****... this world is simply amazing" feel.
