Ten Ton Hammer Staffers Immortalized in Legends of Norrath

[Cody Bye]

On December 20, 2007, two of the Ten Ton Hammer staff members were immortalized in the world of massively multiplayer gaming. As long time members of the global EverQuest II community, the caricatures of Tony “RadarX” Jones and Dan “Coyote Sharptongue” Irving were introduced into the latest expansion of Legends of Norrath as playable cards in the online trading card game. Although Tony now works as Ten Ton Hammer's Tabula Rasa Community Manager, he was previously employed as the network's EverQuest II CM, and Dan "Coyote" Irving continues to serve as the outlet for all of the networks adult-slanted humor in his daily blog "Not Funny....Ever" (not safe for work).

As part of the Forsworn set of cards, RadarX and Coyote were some of the first volunteers to be selected by the SOE development team to receive this “thank you” gift in return for their years of hard work and diligence. Their facsimiles now adorn to actual in-game cards that can be pulled from any pack of the Forsworn set. To commemorate this exceptional occasion, the Ten Ton Hammer editorial staff took some time to interview Tony “RadarX” Jones and learn how an online leader for an MMOG community becomes a trading card. We've displayed all of the cards, so make sure you check 'em out!

You can read the whole interview here!


What do you think of Tony and Coyote’s rise to stardom? Who should be next in line? Should they make a “Micajah” card? Let us know!

See I am almost tempted to go and try Everquest 2 again now. What could be more tempting than a RadarX or Coyote ChimPokemon card?

And I would just like for the record to state I have no idea where they got Coyote's real name and will deny any allegations regarding my involvement.

Thank you for the feature, I know Coyote and I are both very excited to be a part of the expansion and look forward to seeing our likenesses in game.

If you ever roll a toon on any FFA server, Taea, it is now my primary responsibility to hunt you down and kill you over and over again.
