I want the game to be subscription based but without a box price. I believe the audience he is adressing is looking for a longer commitment to one game and a sub would mean a reliable revenue that would help the development of additional content. I would not mind a cash shop for additional out...

This a good point really. Hell I even want different things from the various stages of EQ that I know back, and thats only 2000-2004, and (I know you hate the thought) I also want some things from newer games added too. Example: Everquest had some faction rivalry themes, featured prominently...

Convo, you sound like you havent bothered games that were build as F2P games so far (as opposed to sub games that switch to F2P), but "buying the game" to play early instead of waiting for it to go open beta is pretty standard. I paid the $100ish to get into MWO early because I wanted to play...

I think there is room for 'MMOs with pvp' and pvp 'MMOs' both. This game is looking to have the same pvp options as WoW from what I gather, plus the guild vs guild thingie. Although WoW could easily copy that in the next expansion since the build-your-base sidegame is pretty much the foundation...

They are probably running out ideas for a weekly or however often they them video. Maybe they finally realized that the closet full of napkins isnt going to turn into a game within a few months just because they want it that way and are now starting some programming work, who knows. About...

I doubt Landmark is in any way set in Norrath, unless you think that spacesuit is everquesty. A better description would be you can build whatever the fuck you want including a recreation of a crashed ISS, but sometimes they'll have contests for EQN-specific content on limited tilesets when they...

I very much want this, without going back to an exact copy of EQ. 10 minutes downtime after killing blue is excessive no matter the class imo. I liked food/drink as a concept in WoW, assuming the time from nearly empty to full is tuned suitably (which for me would be about 2 minutes). You're...

I havent dealt with much LFD, but cant you add a [CC] as another thing to queue as? In the example we're talking about the dps classes would get the primary cc function so it shouldnt cause more waiting. Depending on the type of CC given out to reduce the "only dps" syndrome you wouldnt even...

I think graphics are decent actually, although some could use some tuning ofc. Then again I dont mind WoW/wildstar graphics either. And I wasnt talking about the actual spiderman movie, I made one up in the post above similar to how SOE makes up an entirely new world/lore and uses names from...

They could rebalance the game towards also requiring crowd control for level-appropriate medium and hard content again and make the current "dps only" classes be the best at that. I'm sure some of them could be made tanky too.

I agree that rebooting was needed for a new Everquest title. I think the question is what does rebooting a franchise mean for you and what do you consider a good reboot. Shitty analogy again, but the described EQ reboot to me is like rebooting Spiderman, but the new movie has spiderman be an...

About 6 weeks after Wildstar release sounds about right for a good release point. That would also put the pre-release patch around Wildstar open beta I guess? Business as usual.

.. world is destroyed, titans come check it out and their leaders are crushed by the Old Gods who start to swallow up more titan-terraformed worlds, Titan (the "canceled" project) is revealed to be in full production and will really be WoW2.0 but you play as titans (new alliance) or legion (new...

I agree that EQ was harsher then current-gen games, so dont take this the wrong way, but: Your whole argument boils down to the path of least resistance in EQ was fighting mobs a few levels below you so thats what people did, while in newer games the path of least resistance has you fighting...

I mentioned mechanics I want back earlier, but the big point is what kind of game this will be. Others have brought up similar ideas: I want it to be an immersive world first and foremost. That comes with a few stipulations that would be seen as a step back by most players: 1. First person...

I think "water not yet in, tech hurdles" is from SOE live? I never took it as 'we wont have water' but more as 'the napkin with our plans for water environments is not finished'. Planetside 2 doesnt really feature water either now that I think of it, except as map borders. Although they picked...

As long as a game isnt obviously incompatible with just 'going red' I would say make a server for it and be done, zero special code outside of the needed additions like actually using attacks on players, how/if you can loot them, etc. No level-based cuddling either. You can still branch out into...

Want: Respawns and crowd control. As fun as some encounters in current-gen dungeons are, they are usually isolated encounters, I miss the suspense of trying to crawl through challenging dungeons while staying ahead of or dealing with respawns (EQ example, my group usually crawled Charasis...

Usually in this kind of game the places you arent meant to get to are empty, but dont let me curb your enthusiasm. Personally I hope they manage to mask the fact that every explorable bit is planned and accounted for well enough that it doesnt take away the illusion. And to Carbine, please...

Do you have any numbers for that, or like a list of what "most MMOs" encompasses? Because tbh I do not believe that. I can think of a few fails that might have performed worse (that "Pirates!" the MMO thing, Tabula Rasa maybe, etc) but I would never say most. Out of pure, baseless speculation I...

Pretty much this, banking your own project on Blizzard doing someting in any reasonable time frame is lunacy. They'll need this kickstarter, and two more in 2 and 4 years until this arcade thing finally comes in 2017, unless it gets titan'ed then all bets are off.

About as close as Easter... and to turn this into an analogy of the thread activity, I dont really care about Easter with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up and all. This is still the most anticipated upcoming MMO for me but what is there to talk about? That hasnt been said ten times, anyway.

Didnt read but has to be a WoW clone, seconding that Ever, Jane will be superior.

I put both at 3-5, I'm sure they value honesty about the beta and convincing a new potential customer over someone that will buy it anyway!

I wouldnt consider a game you can run on your own server, play single player (assuming offline) or mod to your liking an MMO.

He is the George Lucas of RPGs is that what you're saying? And is that a good or bad thing?

It is 5vs5 pvp game, thats as far from mmorpg as it gets without going single player. I play a bit of Bioshock and Tomb raider from to to time if that counts? (It doesnt)

Werent behind-the-scenes ties to SOE rumored/inofficially confirmed in the first half of this thread? Too lazy to look really. Until there are details that confirm this is going to be a world first and game second I feel kinda meh about it because it's really the only shot at an immersive world...

Pistols at dawn, you beef-witted lewdster! I will not stand for suck talk here.

Elidroth is the SOE liaison for McQuaid's upcoming project and his use of SOE assets, you heard it here first!

If you look at the other side of this, from the development team side, maybe not everyone *wants* to go back and spend a few years on something they already accomplished a decade ago. I dont know about Garriot, he's up there with Molyneux on my bullshit-o-meter, but I'm sure whoever makes the...

That class unlocks after you beat the campaign once, supposedly because it would be difficult for a brand new player to make a good build without being overwhelmed by too many early options due to that placement.

Free T1-fit cruisers for life in EVE would be sweet regardless of more powerful ships existing, so even with that caveat lifetime insurance might be very good once the game comes out. That aside you could pump hundreds or thousand of dollars into this for bigger/better insured ships, and still...

If you know someone trustworthy that backed the game early enough to gift him the package you buy he can upgrade it to lifetime insurance, then gift it back to you. This works until some point in November, after that everything comes without lifetime insurance. Nobody really knows how important...

Wow did they go full retard and added weapons you can only buy with station cash? I am not really up to date with the game since like May because I was playing other stuff but kept it earmarked in case the FPS itch comes back. Weapons you cannot obtain without buying station cash would make me...

He agrees, that seems to be the point of the post, duh. He's right with it too, tapping late-twenties/early thirties is a good move for a mainstream product.

Still the same odds to get them, but the price on the TP has tripled. However they've been mentioning another way to obtain is coming (been saying that for half a year, I figure it'll be another half until we get that).

It's belly-up like any MMOfail, and the F2P conversion is terrible. Playing for hotkeys is a new low imo. That said, it IS free to play so unless you are on limited bandwidth I'd just run the download and try it. The Star Wars flavor is there in many parts, I had fun playing through the smuggler...

AE mez, unlimited targets, duration increases with targets hit. I would buy it just for that skill.

A poll on this would be interesting, just make sure it's neutral and has as many choices as you can cram in.
