lol, i was thinking the exact same thing. the current day conveniences is exactly what's wrong with modern MMO's. a return to an EQ type MMO would be pretty much the opposite of everything that's currently being done. longer, more dangerous traveling, corpse runs, death penalty, weight...

i think you're exactly right. get back to the DnD roots. make leveling matter, make loot matter, make classes matter, make decisions in the game matter, and most importantly of all, make community matter.

agree 100%. people can hate on brad all they want, but as broken as vanguard was, it's still better than just about anything that's currently out. EQN is just another WoW clone. brad knows that, and he's smart enough to know that it will more than likely fail a few months after launch and that a...

unless storybricks brings jessica alba and mila kunis to my bed naked, it's not going to be enough to get me to play GW2.5, i mean, EQN.

the reason why no one goes back to EQ now is because it's old as fuck. you might as well ask gamers today why they don't play pong or space invaders. the issue isn't the game; EQ ran its course over a decade ago. the issue is that if you made a NEW GAME with all the core mechanics that made EQ...

is this the same tad that was verbally assaulting me every other post just a month or so ago about this game??? welcome back to the dark side, brotha!

by the time WoW came out, EQ was already 5 and a half years old and the mass exodus of that game had started years prior to WoW even being released. the drop off was the result of several bad expansions, including gates of discord and omens of war. most people stopped playing EQ after the PoP...

i agree wholeheartedly.

RC's have been done before in GW2 and rift, they suck. multiclassing has been done before in GW2, it sucks. horizontal leveling has been done before, it sucks (sorry, but vertical leveling is the only real way to differentiate between players and show a player's progress). kiddie graphics...

i agree, except that this game is offering NOTHING that hasn't been done before. everything that they've rolled out so far and praised as being new and different is being done in current MMO's which are not very successful (GW2, rift, warcraft now on the decline, SWTOR, etc...) and they've just...

that's fine. companies can continue to pander to the ADD generation and they will continue to play these types of games for a month or so and move on again like nomads. meanwhile, an entire market of gamers who would be willing to play a harder MMO for several years (and be willing to pay a...

so after what, 7 years or so we finally get a stress test? when can we actually expect the game to release, when halley's comet comes back around?

actually, aside from the original everquest, i haven't played any other game under the EQ umbrella. and you are correct, i won't be playing this one either (and neither will anyone else about a month after launch. this has SWTOR written all over it).

i really don't give a shit about the lore at all. what i care about is that everything that made EQ great is being thrown out because the people in charge "believe" that none of it was fun and didn't make EQ the awesome game that it was. i'm talking about defined hard classes, DIKU style...

star wars is a brand/franchise as well. that didn't stop the prequels from being fucking awful. what made the original trilogy great isn't anywhere to be found in the prequels. same thing is going on here with everquest.

a shitty thread that no one cares about yet one that you keep posting in. make yourself look more like a fuck stick why don't you?

i could too, if they just created an entirely new IP. the problem is, there is absolutely nothing everquest about everquest next, which is retarded. what sony is doing is like someone making a new wing commander game but making it a RTS and placing it in the old west.

so you didn't read any of it but thought you'd just post and make yourself look like a dick head. congrats, you succeeded!

this sounds awesome. damn japs need to take a page from the koreans.

i'm surprised they haven't added care bears yet as a playable race, or my little pony.

yeah, floating is immersion breaking, but building a giant castle or a huge, sprawling dungeon in a weekend isn't....

well, to be fair, we were promised something totally new and exciting. instead, they gave us disney/pixar's mineguildwarscraft2.

i agree, although just running around in the world itself was truly an amazing experience. it's just so vast it's really impressive, even if there isn't much content. kind of reminds me of playing "shadow of the colossus." i wish VG could have gotten the money it needed to become a completed...

really? out perform how exactly? every game that i've played that has been released on both console and PC has looked a thousand times better and run a thousand times smoother on my PC.

i agree 100%. i'd take brad's stoned out of his mind on pills cluster fuck of a game over the disney/pixar abortion of GW2 that we're going to get. vanguard was actually really fun for a few months, despite all the serious problems. i wouldn't even touch this nickelodeon monstrosity they are...

except that in the quest grind like WoW, brand new meaningless loot is shoved up your ass every twenty minutes, only to become obsolete by the time you complete the next quest. in the NPC grind like EQ, you killed NPC's in certain areas, but sprinkled in those certain areas were rare NPC's with...

this game won't release until 2016. hopefully by that time blizzard will realize that EQN is no different than every other pile of shit that's out right now and make something completely different (did i just write that?). now that would be the very definition of irony. the company that started...

i'd much rather grind mobs for exp than quest. quests in EQ actually felt like quests. you either randomly spoke with an NPC in a town or city and got a quest, or you found an item on a mob that you killed that said "quest item" and you knew you could do something with it and be rewarded with an...

any chance this game will be released for PC and mac? or do us mac users get fucked again?

if they want this shit to be this fucking cartoony, they should just scrap the game a fourth time and make hentai the MMO.

not it's not, and you've obviously never taken a psych class in your life. what made camping exciting is the same thing that makes casinos exciting. is sitting in front of a slot machine really that exciting? is sitting for hours on end playing 3 card poker or pai gow or black jack fun from a...

no offense, but these rallying calls sound boring as fuck. why the hell do i want to spend my hours playing a MMO laying down brick and mortar? real life can be boring enough, i don't need to spend 4 or 5 hours straight in a MMO looking at blueprints and putting up drywall. i don't see these...

everything that made EQ great will not make it into this game. they've learned nothing. all they did was drop the WoW clone and just clone every other game currently in the industry instead. they stopped making a mexican food shit to make an indian food one.

i agree. i think EQ had a perfect mix of both. it wasn't directionless, but it didn't force you to do something or tell you where you needed to go or what you needed to do next, either. i actually fear pure sandbox games as i see something like mortal online or UO happening where you give people...

ps2 being their most profitable game should tell you everything you need to know about sony...

haven't played this game since last june. is it any better at all?

you're right, they'll probably offer everything in the game for free. cause, that's how they make money off a F2P model....

of course there will be. you'll just have to pay $19.99 to get them.

yes it does. but the EQN white knights can just yell "voxels!" while they spooge all over their monitors.

1999: 12 races, 13 starting cities 2013: 6 races, 1 starting city, but you can dig ditches. welcome to everquest next!
