Hey guys, I see there is talk about recreating old school EQ dungeons. I figured someone could use the old eqzoneviewer for that, an old program where you could simply load any zone (up to GoD) and then walk/fly through it. Off line, no monsters off course but with objects. Thing is, you...

Same. But it *must* be possible to re-create some of the things we see in a succesful game like Eve-online, to a Fantasy setting. I can not believe that Eve only works because it is in space(not saying Eve is perfect). Goblinworks can use an I.P. that is loved by many ( I had never heard of...

I am actually Convo/Shabushabu/ArcticSlicer levels of crazy about this game but I refuse to feed myself to the wolves here. So, yeah, graphics sucks, Ryan Dancey sucks, this is gonna fail, wtf PvP and so forth. Even so: Alpha is planned for April this year, Early Enrollment (if you bought...

This snippet in the Thank you! post from Warhorse Studios after it funded pretty much sais it all:

Yes, definately a variation on GW1. The big difference is that more players then just those that are in your party can enter the scenes. I did some more searching and it seems the amount of players in a single scene will be "dozens, not hundreds". You enter the scenes by looking at an overland...

Release 4, March 20th. Here is the roadplan:Early Access Schedule | Shroud of the Avatar Forum

Important to know: the world will not be continuous. From the city-hubs you basically zone into "scenes" which are instances that can be anything, from dungeons to hamlets to an outdoors area. As soon as this instance is created it can be entered by friends on your friendslist and I think there...

Thanks for that link. I went to the site but could not figure out if the Skywind project uses *all* the mechanics of Skyrim, including Magic, Spells, skill progression, skill choice and such? It sais it uses the Skyrim UI so the answer is probably yes. Basically it is the Morrowind landscape +...

As per somewhere next week, EQ will have the feature that any character that goes gold (even if only for a single month) will get all AA autogranted(as your level allows) up till the 4th latest expansion, in this case House of Thule. That can amount to thousands of AA. So from level 51 onwards...

Question for anybody that has worked with Google Sketchup: how do the EQLandmark tools and possibilities compare to what you can do in Sketchup? I have learned to work with Sketchup when I had a big remodeling job to my house done and I hear a lot of the same phrases like "line-tool"and such...

I have to say that this is an interesting and bold statement: I wonder if they can live up to that promise. They are also offering three tiers (275, 400, 425 dollars) that include a lifelong sub (1 dollar a year sub lifetime) which in this case would actually mean something. A pure sub-based MMO...

Never mind, wrong thread (was a post about Camelot Unchained).

Quote from this page:Landmark - EverQuest Next And given enough time (i.e. more then 3 weeks of alpha) I think we will see the equivalent of thisminecraft Kings landing - Google zoekenin Landmark, like complete Wood Elf tree towns, huge castles and intricately decorated interiors galore. The...

On this page:Landmark - EverQuest Nextit sais that they will hold contests but also keep an eye out for the coolest things players have made in Landmark. Quote: I can see a group of players make an entire Hobbittown in Landmark that will look better then anything we have seen so far when it...

Wow, just wow. I will definately be back when this game goes gold to check all this stuff out. SOE is SO smart with the whole EQnext landmark before EQnext thing: they will have a huge library to pick from when they are making EQnext itself. I am starting to hope that we may see more then 3...

I think it is a great change. I have been playing EQ for the last year, took my Main and 4 boxes from level 72 to level 86 and from 250 AA to around 2800 AA. Also did a lot of other stuff in the game like become Master Artisan (7x300 tradeskill) and old Raids and such. But I made sure I...

Excellent.Kinda sad that this idea has more creativity in it then anything I have seen in the Kickstarter so far. The cloth cap-bug is current untill this day too: there is currently a bugged quest during the Errolisi days in EQ that gives you a Coth Cap.....

Not true what TragedyAnn said, so you are right. From the Kickstarter FAQ: There have been several failed projects already. Kickstarter FAQ:Accountability on Kickstarter Kickstarter

Just wanted to add that the refund thing is for real. Submitted a ticket yesterday, got an answer today that the money will be refunded, no questions asked. I think the game has huge potential, I enjoyed the digging for a while, but I will wait for EQnext. In the meanwhile I will enjoy the...

Interesting look into the finances of another startup MMO company. Here is the financial overview for Pathfinder Online for the year 2013:Goblinworks They are very open about their finances. Now Pathfinder Online already had secured funding before their Kickstarter, from Paizo, the...

Off course, this. It will need a firm hand, a strict focus and several other old school mechanisms(death penalty, corpse runs, binding, player interdependency) working together to pull this off again though. Since it looks like there is no strict focus or vision but rather a "tell me which...

Joining? I hope not. Shroud of the Avatar actually seems to be going somewhere, I do not want Brads flop to rub off on it. Seriously, this cloak is all you will get to see. Garriot is bit smarter then that. Smart move from Brad though.

This is the reason why I have done some impulse buys in the past: however I have come to the conclusion that when I am in a phase that no game can keep my attention anymore, the impulse-buy will just be shelved like the rest. And then at some point I get my gaming-vibes back online or...

I was very impressed with their housing decoration video:Shroud of the Avatar House Decoration Demo - YouTube I am not much into house decorating myself to be honest, but the feature seemed very easy to use and very complete. Stacking items, assembling items to form a scene which you can then...

Project Gorgon is still alive and worked on by Eric: here is the latest update, dating today!January 30 Update | Project: Gorgon You can play the alpha. He did a Kickstarter but it did not reach its goal. Even though Project Gorgon *did* have something to show during the KS and even a...

Yes, I would definately advice people who can not wait to get a taste of the old school to do the 45 dollar pledge for this game. The fact that SotA also does have a singleplayer online and off line mode does not bother me at all. I do think the playerhousing-pledges are a bit pricy so not...

I always wondered who would win if you pit them against eachother: the zombies from I am Legend or the ones from DayZ. I am thinking the I am Legend zombies would win. At least they are both Fast Zombies (tm).

True, I do not bother with Raiding and am not even max level yet. I mix up my activities as much as possible and keep the grinding to a minimum. I did put a lot of work in Crafting and am now Master Artisan (7x300 skill). Playing the bazaar to get ingredients was also part of the fun, as was...

I joined the pre-alpha weekend and enjoyed the atmosphere of the setting quit a bit. I really liked how NPC's will only interact with you by you having to talk to them. The inventory system does not make much sense but I do like the graphics of the bags and baskets and such. Mouselook was...

Yeah, I am not sure why I bother so much. I am still enjoying EQ in its modernized state so there's that.

That was awesome! Why don't MMOs ever do weather this way? Sadly, an Everquest thunderstorm still comes closest to the weather in that vid, with the impaired vision, rain, thunder and lightning.

Why are you falling for that? This is the kind of "want to please everyone" answer that makes me dubious about this whole old-school thing. Players will expect the "long spawns" that have to be camped to drop much better items then the frequent spawns for "those with less time", right? You know...

Yes, I do not see them opening up the game before that open house has happened.

For 150 dollars I can buy 20 mounts or 40 illusionitems or whatever in Everquest. I guess you can not compare the two but I think the tiers in this KS are insane. Shiny like that loses its value quickly in any game, I do not think this will be different in Pantheon. If they went real old-school...

According to this quote from Brad at the beginning of the KS I am pretty sure he at least did not know what an AMA was.Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen - Page 364 Or he just missed the AMA part in that question from Aela.

Hey!Cuburt :: Bestiary :: EverQuest :: ZAM This is one of those memorable quests in EQ that I loved. Such a sad story of a little girl that wandered into the Qeynos Aquaducts and got eaten by a baby Gelatinous Cube. Maybe the baby cube just wanted to play but it went wrong..... The best...

Thanks for clarifying, gogojira. I think it is great that it is now used as a concept for one of their cities, it certainly has an epic feel about it. I am still not comfortable with the idea that this MMO looks to be pretty much conceptualized in real-time right now. Too much pressure from...

Certainly possible, but he made this recently, going by this:On the rise by TARGETE on deviantART It is called On The Rise. Being a freelancer with a huge portfolio (if you google his name you get like hundreds of pics) I think pretty much anything he makes now will likely be commisioned...

The concept art from the Archway and Armada cities are from J.P. Targete, a freelance concept artist who does a lot of work for games, comics, films and such. So I take it he was commisioned by Brad and co to make some nice concept art for cities in Pantheon. The guy has an incredable portfolio...

Was one of those decisions, choosing for a seamless world and the chunk-thing? I just fired up VG on my i7, Radeon hd 7970, 16gb Ram comp with the game on an SSD and it still hitched. That was a big disappointment.
