Elidroth and Fakaro on Whitemane (Horde), but the world isn't available yet I guess.

It was.

Pretty accurate.

No.. there isn't really a guide or template. The combat mechanics in EQ are so archaic.. and held together with bandaids and bubblegum (genius coding by Jenn Chan), but I'd never want to use them ever again in a game. As for the remote work vs office work.. Remote can definitely be done, but...

Getting an MMO to a release state with enough content to last more than a week takes A LOT of time, and time == money. Quality developers are not cheap. Art takes A LOT of time. If you want a game that's debugged sufficiently, that takes a lot of testing, which means a lot of people, which means...

This.. Curt wasted a SHIT TON of money putting big names on the header without caring if they could actually work together or even deliver. Then they played that whole shell game with people's lives at the end that really fucked a lot of people.

"As an aside, while on vacation in California, this loyal EQ fan for 20 years visited their headquarters unannounced hoping to buy some souvenirs and was told by a stern security guard at the lobby that unless I had an appointment I was not welcome. Fair enough. So much for completing my...

Actually no.. Not for good reason. Lucasarts/Lucasfilm demanded the NGE changes. SOE didn't have creative control over SWG at all. Smed had to suck it up, put on the smiling face, and try and sell it to the players. That whole debacle was way out of Smed's control, and he got roasted for it..

The underlying architecture of Vanguard can never been fixed. It will always have issues.. Much much better to do a new game using an established MMO engine unless you're developing one on your own.

I'm having a blast with RDM.. I'm likely going to level up Gunblade for a tank next.. It's a nice time diversion when I'm not flying..

Couple problems with this.. Who's going to give you that tour? Certainly not the dev teams.. They're too busy working on the games. In the 9 years I worked at SOE/DBG, the ONLY time we did tours was during specific events where there were people setup specifically to do this, such as when...

People LITERALLY threatened to blow up Smed's house after the SWG changes happened.

Go sit in the corner and think about what you just wrote.

You're out of your damned mind. It has ZERO to do with whether they care about the game or not. Your time as a guide, while admirable, is not comparable to actually working on the game. It's also not the same for you to work in your job, and then go do events and things in EQ. A more accurate...

EQ Devs can never play to the same level as a hardcore player, which is ultimately what those questions are trying to show. It's a trap, because the next statement is effectively always, "You don't know shit about your own game. I know more than you do. You should do what I say to make it...

So yeah.. I completely forgot about the CC roles.. lol. I definitely remember how amazing a well-played Enchanter was in EQ, but at the same time, that can be a trap.. because if you then have dungeons that require a CC player, then if one isn't available at that time, you can't do that content...

Just came back to play this.. I have to admit I have a ton of abilities on both my Monk and Bard that I have no clue what I'm doing.. LOL.

My vision of an EQ3 would be to go back to what made the EQ community what it is.. inter-dependence.. The classes would need to be structured such that players had to work together to get anything done. The solo game would be very limited, and yes, I'm well aware that would make it rather niche...

Uh.. EQ is C++

Clearly you've never seen behind the curtain. EQ is kept together with bubble gum and duct tape, and the sheer will of Jenn Chan. It and it's architecture should never be used in a game again.. ever.

Heh.. We did that when I was still at SOE/DBG.. Crushbone and SolB were my projects actually. Had quite a bit of fun with some of the higher level events/rares in there.

Actually, Homelander was specifically told he couldn't have kids.. Sounds like that was a secret they tried to keep just from him due to the dangers of a kid with those powers

I always thought a solo RPG in the EverQuest universe would be interesting.. But then again, I thought a Gauntlet style dungeon crawler in the EQ universe would be cool too.. so who knows?

Very cool stuff.. This would be fun to get involved in.. Not sure if anyone would care to listen to me though.. Heh.

Maybe the greatest lead guitar tone ever recorded.. Incredible!

This new CD is going to be epic if all the songs are as good as the 3 released so far.. Pure fire!

I've been having a lot of fun with this lately. A few of us are playing out here in the sand.. grouping up is way more fun than running solo, but it's still fun.

Simply incredible.

They're expensive but honestly the best built guitars I've ever seen. There is literally ZERO flaws in any of them. At some point I'm going to build a Regius 7, but that'll have to wait.. It'll cost me close to $5k when I done, but meh..

Caps are great guitars! I played Adam D's (Killswitch Engage) before I came back out here.. He has a new signature model that's STUPID LIGHT (he has back problems), and it was amazing.

Yeah.. the Regius. It's a neck-through (the others are bolt-on necks except the PRS) That's not even a 'great' top for Mayones.. I've never been a huge flame maple fan.. much prefer quilted.. but this one just jumped out at me!

EQ is still a money making game for DBG.. so yeah it's a brand.

Been wanting a multi-scale, so this is coming next with some mods.. Changing the pickups to Alpha/Omega set, and painting the wings/back in a satin Ferrari red.

My baby.. custom spec'd Mayones Duvell 7 Custom 26.5" scale, 20" radius, BKP Ragnaroks, Hannes bridge, Hipshot open tuners.. Prettiest quilted top I've ever seen..

Mayones Qatsi Deluge Got this one from John Browne (Monuments) himself..

Mayones Regius Core 6.. My favorite neck-through guitar.. Seriously good guitar.

My Afghanistan guitar. PRS SE Mark Holcomb signature.. Soon as Mark announces his new SE 7 string signature, I'll grab one of them too.. No way in hell I'm bringing out any of my Mayones..

Devin...

Meh. I felt like H1Z1 was behind the curve before it even launched. The whole 'zombies' thing was already fading. I get that you were passionate about it, but that game had a serious identity crisis. Nobody seem to know what they wanted it to be.. It's a survival game, it's a zombie game, it's a...

If the EQ brand becomes its own company, that'll be VERY good for those games, because then you won't have management trying to steal EQ1 & EQ2's profits for some other game idea.. They'll be able to actually put that money into the games that earn it.
