I still see people on other forums posting "I'm sure they're much farther along than we think. We are going to see beta for EQN shortly after beta for Landmark." Lol.

The question now is, do I wait to build a new computer until closer to EQN, or do I build a new computer sooner-ish so I can try out Landmark?

Lol. Wtf is happening? Where are these personal attacks coming from? None of us know enough about the game yet, it's all still speculation. I don't think anyone in this thread has said the game is definitely going to suck or that it is the next best MMO. I, for one, am looking forward to it...

Giving this kind of design lasting value would be quite the magic trick. I really hope they pull it off, but I'm skeptical. Either their AI better be better than advertised or they better implement a sweet PvP system.

The article implies it came from an interview at SOE Live. Seems fishy though as they specifically stated they weren't going to say more than that they were leaning toward either multiple starting cities or a single starting city. I'll be shocked if it ends up being this rallying call starting...

Cities full of NPCs you'll never bother with isn't the result of multiple starting cities, it's the result of bad design. There will be more than 1 city in EQN, the question is whether or not players can start in those cities.

Agreed. However, I would rather people have thechoiceto start in Qeynos than force everyone to start there.

I would also point out that there are easy ways to fix the population problems. If there are multiple cities, then people like me are happy and people like Quaid can still find his port to busier areas if he wants. If there is a single city, I've lost my preferred way to play. This game is...

I don't think the 1:1 thing holds true; it would be interesting to see a poll on this. Regardless, I understand your point. I always found leveling up the first few levels in EQ in the nearest newbie zone to be more effective/fun than trying to find a port/group anyway. I didn't hang around...

I disagree. I was often alone when creating new characters in EQ or WoW, but it didn't matter because that early in the game you don't need to group. Having different starting cities adds a huge amount of immersion and depth to character creation and beyond. Each starting city has its own...

This would be amazing. Having Innoruuk in as less than a god would be 1000x better than not having him in at all. Also, where do you see the possible future? I've read a few different theories on how he could come into the lore.

Same. Looking forward to this game. We need a hearthstone junkies site. Get us some beta keys!

I think this, as well as other lame design decisions, have to do with ponytail's stupid holy grails. When they sit around thinking about what they've always wanted in an MMO, of course they are going to come up with stuff like "I don't want to have to level up a new class when I want to change."...

I'm most disappointed with their decision to basically make all of the races best buddies. It's become a two sided war--allof the players against the dragons. Their approach seems to be - "you can choose any race you want, look fierce, and be on the good team! Yay for choices!" The problem is, I...

Didn't one of the developers already say a few weeks back that EQN will have guns? The next poll should be if EQN should have voxels. edit: I found the reference. They toldmmorpgthere will be guns.

Wonder why they took it down...

I hope this is possible too, but I think there might be some embellishing going on in this here thread. Not much has been revealed about Story Bricks or the way the AI in mobs--as opposed to NPCs--is going to function. The one example they keep using is orcs. Orcs, they say, will like gold, hate...

This might have already been discussed, but is that continent everyone keeps posting actually what the continent in EQN is going to look like? I don't think anyone has ever said that. In the world panel, one of the developers specifically referred to that continent as a "sample continent."

SOE is in an interesting position at this point for marketing. I agree EQN is at least a year away, but Landmark is much, much closer. Do you hype up EQN to try and give Landmark more attention? I would wager that most people who play Landmark will play EQN, even if they have dropped Landmark by...

Ah, that explains it. They updated that ebook. The version I have downloaded continually refers to Nor'l as the god that the elves worship. I kept thinking they better get their lore straightened out fast. In the updated version it has been changed to the Seraphs.

Butler: "People won't stop tweeting me about the fat ogres thing." Omeed: "Yeah, it's been at the top on reddit all day today." Butler: "Well, I don't care what they want; I don't want fat ogres. Distract them with something else." Omeed: "Done."

Gotta get the other developers, like @davegeorgeson, involved in this. Butler hasn't been using twitter for a couple of weeks.

What a wild ride. I feel like I am in a totally different place than I was expecting to be after SOE Live. I think I am more excited for EQN Landmark than I am for EQN. I have also gone from questioning the developer's design decisions to questioning if there is even a game coming in the next...

So at this point, what is the next thing we are waiting for? EQL beta to start? Open the official forums? Meaningful polls on roundtable? Another event where they release more information?

True. Do you think EQN will require much more than Landmark? I imagine EQN will potentially have a lot more going on at once, but it's basically the same game hardware wise.

Isn't it kind of odd that they don't make you submit something with your beta registration that shows your system specs? How do they know who can handle the game?

I never thought I would say this, but I hope they give even more tools and control to players in Landmark--including the ability to add mobs, create classes, etc. At this point, it seems like that is my only hope to get the MMO I really want.

This is all from tad's Q&A summary, a lot from questions about BASIC gameplay (e.g. PvP). WTF is this garbage? Do they even actually have a game? Do they even know if they can deliver on 10% of what they've talked about? Is this EVER going to actually come out?

I read the ebook they put on their site. It was a mediocre read. Here is a quick summary if anyone is interested in what it's about but doesn't want to read the whole thing:

Is the official forum working for anyone? I can only see 4 posts. Why have a forum if no one can post in it? I gotta keep the BBFO movement alive!

We need to get some of the loud mouths from RR onto the EQN beta boards ASAP. Gotta make sure the shakier stuff (i.e. combat) gets done right.

Is there a general consensus there among the players of when this thing might go into beta? Just curious.

Yeah, but is that a maximum or what they are planning on people bringing? I guess what I am wondering is, does this mean instances? How else would they restrict the number to 24?

Movementstarted.

This will change. They just don't want to reveal that they haven't made decisions about super basic gameplay mechanics. Also, the next poll needs to be: "Do you prefer the oriental hulk we have now or traditional fatties for Ogres?" Bring back fat ogres. I'm going to start a movement. vs.

These colors don't run.

Frogloks are only a maybe? Wtf? Can someone explain to me how a lion becomes one of the models they show off at the reveal andFrogloksare just a maybe?

I have to say, I am neutral at this point. It wasn't what I was expecting, but it didn't disappoint either. Few thoughts: Combat I understand that the combat can still change, but it's not looking good. Apparently SOE didn't get the memo that Diablo III failed. They would have to get rid...
