Actress name is Leonor Varela. She's beennekkida couple times in front of the camera. The thing that cracked me up about her is that as soon as she got on the plane, she took off her shirt and went down to a wife beater to show off her cleavage. Just about every shot she was in she was...

Fish tank joke. Rising Tide. Namor.

Ninjas and guns are both products of the renaissance era. Most fantasy genres are firmly seated in the medieval era. Steampunk is also a renaissance era product, though that was in EQ (in the form of the cultural trade skill, tinkering). The city of Erudin was pretty advanced, sort of a "magic...

Fury wasn't in the Hulk. Stark shows up solo at the bar that General Ross is drinking at.

Which is strange, since that's the only thing that links the franchise together. All of their MMORPGs have different but similar game systems baked into them, but up until EQN they all shared common lore, or at least lore based on the same roots. You're still not getting it. You want to play...

EQNext is on it's 3rd iteration. As a title it's been in development for what? 3-5 years? The design has been scrapped twice. That's money down the drain, but also added to the budget of the current iteration of EQNext. I'd be surprised if they hadn't dumped at least 100 million on it. That's...

The mistake you're making is that you think of Everquest, the game from 1999, as it's own self-contained franchise.Everquest is a brand. Games: EverQuest Hero's Call (Pocket PC, January 2003)EverQuest Online Adventures (PlayStation 2, February 2003)Lords of EverQuest (PC, December...

I pretty much mirror this opinion. Gnomes and Halflings gotta be in at launch. I don't really care about Frogloks either way; at launch or added later. I'm actually surprised the Ratonga and Fae are getting as many votes as they are. I've always found humanoid-animal races to be a lazy way to...

Guys, the only issue with EQNext I've heard of is that the devs have yet to figure out how to make water work with voxels. As in allowing characters to move through them as if they were swimming. Game engines are typically heavily modified for the purpose that they're going to be used, so the...

Kithicor. Named after the legendary human ranger Kithicor, who once single-handedly defended the woods from an army of dark elves. Yes, I am a lore nerd.

Georgeson said they had been working on this iteration of EQNext for a year and a half. He also said that during that time they had to develop the tools in order to build it, along with getting voxels and destructibility working in their Forgelight engine. So what we saw at SOELive is them...

Re: Landmark I was under the assumption that all players get a plot of land when they start the game for free. If they want more land later they have to buy it with station cash. Is this not right?

This is the third iteration of EQNext, and it's a long way off. They recently laid off a bunch of people. If I had to guess, the higher-ups told them to get a product out before the end of the year and Landmark is what they came up with.

Exactly. It's supposed to be released this winter, so I'm assuming that we're like 3 months away from that. Figure 3 months of beta and then they release around March. That's six months away and they've shown us very little. Even the info they've released smacks of "we're making it up as we go".

That entire presentation was a sham. You had a Sony employee (Omeed) interviewing two other Sony employees about a Sony product that they all work on. Nthing new revealed, except that it's going to be awesome...

I can't stand massively. Their writers are cock gobbling sycophants that trade positive articles for ad revenue. EDIT: I'm sitting here watching a blank screen on twitch. Why am I watching a blank screen?

I think there were dark half elves. I seem to remember Inny being a deity choice for them, but they started in Freeport since Dark Elves are racists.

Yeah, but if that's the case then it'll be a failure and it won't matter. I haven't read too much about long term use issues, but from what I have read the issues you cited are being taken into account.

And if it isn't compatible with the Rift, people will play the MMOGs that are.

How the fuck SOEmote works when a player is wearing an Occulus is beyond me. I'm guessing it won't work at all. There's no doubt in my mind that players are more likely to use a Rift over SOEmote, so if they are designing the models around their emote system they're going way too far in the...

To be fair, we saw concept art of a female DE, but the model of a male. Then again, that female concept art was more blue-grey in color, and had black eyes with purple irises. She was also more angular shaped. The male on the other hand was fucking royal blue and had blunted features, almost...

What time are you taking your kids to the movies? I'd wager it's not the late shows. Also, it's not all that cool to go see "kids movies" when you're a teenager. The teens I know usually watch them on dvd or cable, but they do see them. Look, none of this is going to matter until they...

My niece is 17. My nephew is 14. These are kids that have grown up with Pixar movies and Disney cartoons. They watch anime, play minecraft and the sims. They also have played just about every "next big mmo" that has come out in the last decade; you know, all the WoW clones that all of us are...

WoW is old to this generation of gamers. I tried to get my niece and nephew to play it, EQ and EQII and they didn't last a week at any of them. It wasn't because they were hard, it was because they were "boring". when i showed them the vids from SOE live they flipped out.

Think about it: they have EQ. They have EQII. Neither of these games are going anywhere. It's not like their goal with EQNext is to replace either of these games, just like their goal with EQII wasn't to replace EQ. Both of those older games are still being developed, even if their playerbases...

Shit, one of us should create a new EQNext subreddit. One where people can actually discuss shit without all the moderated shills.

Based on the concept art they've released so far it's pretty obvious they're trying to push the cute slider as far as they can to appeal to the Asian markets. Of course the problem with a cute mmo is that it won't appeal to a lot of adult western gamers. Then again, the Asian market is so...

I was subscribed to the EQN subreddit until last week. I got sick of seeing all the fucking "what I want to see in EQN" posts and all the fucktards asking about new info every couple hours. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that subreddit was created by SOE and moderated by their...

Sorta. The Shissar on Kunark have Iksar slave armies. The Iksar rebel after ~500 years against the Shissar, and the Combine (who are slaves at this point) join the Iksar in the rebellion and they kick the Shissar off Norrath (again). Afterwards, the Iksar and Combine grow distant because the...

Elves are split up into castes. Koada'Dal were the nobles of the Takish Empire, while Feir'Dal were the commoners, and Teir'Dal were the military. The Teir'Dal were separated from the rest of the elves when Bastion was sieged and ended up somewhere (another plane, world, whatever), which is...

Racial abilities could be passive. No need to make characters choose between slotting a racial ability over a class ability that way. Besides, most of the original EQ racial abilities were passive. Troll regen, DE ultravision, Iksar swimming bump, etc.

Best guess: he meant racial abilityanimation. I'd bet that they're still fleshing out stuff like the class abilities and weapon abilities, so they're probably still working on what races will have which unique abilities.

The problem with a character having loads of abilities is that all of those abilities end up watered down. You click a button and it might have 1-2 effects, and those effects are usually miniscule, but having a lot of abilities with 1-2 miniscule effects adds up when you're mashing shit every...

If you enter a dragon lair and kill all the inhabitants, you'll end up with an empty lair. It'll remain empty until another NPC (that likes that sort of lair) moves in. It's not like you're going to be returning to the same lair to kill the same NPC, or even the same type of NPC, over and over...

I'm starting to think that Qeynos is a Rallying Cry. That's why it's one city at launch. Well, that and the lore explaining that the remnants of the Combine left Kunark (I guess they sailed east to Antonica/Tunaria/Amaril). So figure late alpha, early beta the devs will start the Qeynos Rallying...

That new story doesn't make sense. InLast Stand of the Teir'Dal, Ithiosar follows Keramore into the ruined city they're retreating to and through the portal, losing a leg and part of his tail in the process. Then he flies off into this new place (plane, world, dimension, whatevah) they're in...

With the tiny amount of info from EQN that's been released, of course folks are going to nitpick the shit out of it. Some of us have been big fans of the franchise for nearly 15 years. I played a DE wizzie on Rallos Zek for 4 years and was a member of a guild called The Disciples of Hate, whose...

No, I get it. I'm just not as invested as you seem to be, and that's cool too. I mean, you were there, right? You brought us a lot of leet infos, so thanks! I just hope you can start to see the forest from the trees. It's a new EQ, and a totally new MMO experience. Don't get so wrapped up in...

The No True Scotsman fallacy strikes again.
