I can't even get into the beta forums. The code I have wasn't valid or something during signups... perhaps because it's just a stress test key?

yep, servers appear to be not working. I guess their stress test was successful? edit: Heeyy, I'm in. Alrighty then.

I don't know if you guys have read this but here: http://www.eqnexus.com/2013/09/utili...verquest-next/ In my own terms, think of them less as roles and more as jobs. Everyone has their job to do, and the class/skills shape determine that job. Edit: Which sounds a lot like roles, but...

it rather seems to do so, yes.

IIRC, spring 2014.

you hwut? if you're calling the "mix" option carebear, the round table was pretty much immediately in favor of the mix.

should i sound the shill alarm?

huh, i didn't really think of that comparison before. it really does. i'm not complaining though; i think torchlight 2 and this game both look pretty great.

Many thanks.

Up for grabs as in giving away? If that's the case, I'd love it.

hey, i'm not totally adverse to a bear race.care bearsthough...

Everyone would, everyone would.

Yeah, they made a very pretty/interesting/quality world. It's probably the best MMO world I've seen since WoW. Everything in that picture looks like it belongs, and it's just all very instantly appealing (at least for myself). If there's any one thing to hand to them, it's that they have some...

I think you're a bit overstating how funny they intended that scene to be... they were trying to make a point through humor, and although it's "childish" butt scratching, it at least wasn't a fart joke (although I'm assuming they've made a fart joke at least once before).

Just saying, that would beprettycool. Taking it a step further, what if we could get the guards to "swap out" every so often, leaving a few moments for someone to possibly slip inside? Totally wishful thinking from what we've heard so far but hey, doesn't stop me from saying that it would be...

You like James Taylor for the same reason that you liked him when you discovered his music, but people advocating for "dreadfully slow combat, long camps, and long respawns" like it for a reason that's not really possible today, mostly due to what I pointed out - a lot of people would just alt...

who's to say that even in a game with downtime, people wouldn't just alt tab or do something on another electronic device?

sure as hell doesn't look third person

the point is that i don't see how letting the players float through a (hopefully solid) explanation would "break the immersion".

how does it break immersion if you just came back from an afternoon of whacking keys and pressing buttons to smack pieces of ore which then magically disappear in a puff of smoke and reappear inside of a neatly tucked away GUI element? i feel like people don't know what immersion means

They've already said both are F2P so unless a miracle happens...

It very well could be. Landmark has nothing to live up to other than Minecraft, which it already has beat if they don't fuck up the execution.

Much better.

Lying is different from making a mistake. He wasn't touting a playable demo a month before the event as if that would be the big thing to go for - Smed said that it would be playable at SOE Live 2013 a year before. If Georgeson's explanation isn't enough for you, I don't know what is.

Smed (I think) said they would have a playable demo at SOE Live 2013 back in 2012 (again, I think) but they overestimated how long the development would take, and they might have even had to roll back a couple ideas along the way.

So to diverge away from the current path this thread is taking, what's the general consensus from everyone here on the game? Good/bad/ugly/WoW with a minor twist? Seems like WoW with a minor twist to me. Interesting world and different combat but not something I would probably spend more than...

last i checked, MTG was more popular than both of those games, no?

i don't know, the void goliath was pretty "scary" looking. i hope we see a lot more creatures like that.

high movement speeds won't be supported by an engine that has to support vehicular warfare already? dafuq you smoking?

as far as i know, that's right. one free plot, then purchasing unclaimed land or trading for some land. i bet that within one week, every plot of land in each available world will be taken.

i thought that information came from some two-year-old report on SOE having layoffs. i may be wrong though because if they're going to fire off anyone, that makes the most sense.

oh you, you and your internet sarcasm

well, they'd already confirmed it before now

seems fair enough. if they're going to monetize anything, i'd rather they do this over destroying the in-game economy through selling materials or anything else of the sort.

looks like the original picture was just oversaturated

just gonna wait for the shitstorm here...

damn, furious. wine makes you get a lot more kawaii~~~

from that article, it's nice to see that players getting "all" of the dev tools is confirmed once and for all. eventually EQNL could become Easy MMO OvenT. no auction house, either. nice to see that as well.

afaik, EQ2 dwarves and halflings are very similar to each other anyways. the major differences seem to be muscle mass and a slight difference in skeletal structure.

they may not even have "evil races." they've been touting moral ambiguity as far as the gods go, so who knows?
