[In response to How many Devs are Working on EQ?]

Looking at last year's credits gives this breakdown for a few categories:

Design: 9
Engineering: 7
Art: 8
Sound: 1
QA: 3

Soon enough you'll get this year's expansion's credits and can compare to see what's changed.

Now that the credits are available, the breakdown along with the change from last expansion is:

Design: 9
Engineering: 5 (-2)
Art: 11 (+3)
Sound: 1
QA: 3
