Welp. 2+ years and 1250+ pages into this thread, I get to be the one to announce that Pony Tail has been axed. Dave Georgeson laid off from Daybreak Games : EQNext Big Layoffs At EverQuest Studio Today [UPDATE]

Setting aside the style, those character models look... a bit antiquated already. I'm not sure that they're a technical step up from what the revamps they're shoving into decade-old WoW.

To make it very easy for me to quit the game before heading off to college.

So, what I get out of that is that the Storybricks stuff is all conceptual and they haven't implemented it and have no idea how they're going to do so "but trust us it will be awesome." Just like everything else.

Nobody is confused that it's an alternate universe. We are saying that that's stupid.

Huh. 1022 pages later, somebody finally figures out what the hell it is that SOE is up to.

And then telling Wing Commander fans that the essence of Wing Commander games was never being a space sim anyways so don't worry about it.

Art survey results are up:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qid...blishanalytics Looks roughly like about a 50/50 split in terms of those who like the art and those who have some level of problem with it (mostly with the character art). Obviously there are a thousand issues with the testing...

The devil are you talking about, dude? You're just taking words out of context and making an argument based on something that wasn't said. I didn't say EQL was a waste. I said demanding immersion was. They've done nothing to make me think that EQL is anymore than a map editor that you can...

Pretty clear that this team has no intention of emphasizing the classic notions of "RPG" in MMORPG. Creating an immersive "world" doesn't appear to be the goal. Rather, this is going to be a more instantly-gratifying game where players can log in for 5 minutes and have instant fun playing their...

Demanding immersion in Landmark is definitely a waste of time. Landmark isn't an RPG, it's a toolset.

I must admit that I'm paying more attention to this game than I have to any other game in years. Reading rerolled, reddit, mmorpg.com, etc. I think it's fair to say that thus far this title is extremely polarizing. Are reactions to pending titles often this split? Whether those who are not...
