i got lucky in the fact that EQ came out when i was a senior in college (was only taking 3 classes to graduate) and then i moved to california and had about $10,000 saved up in my bank account so i pretty much just lived off of that money, didn't work at all for 7 months, and played roughly 12...

there was another guy who committed suicide from playing EQ after he gave his account info to a "friend" and they hacked his account and took all his stuff. i remember it made the national news and his mom was interviewed about it and everything.

best story i have is me and a friend of mine named redraider (a warrior) were grouping together and a GM showed up and gave redraider an item and just said "you're welcome." turned out it was an executioner's blade from veeshan's peak, before anyone had even been in the zone (this was like a...

the dungeons were a billion times better than anything that has come out since.

i already played a game where i created the entire world and everything and everyone in it, it was called populous and it came out like 25 years ago. not sure of how good of a MMO it would make though.

it's 2013. if it could be done in 1999, it could be done now. the problem isn't the money, it's what it's being allocated to. instead of putting the $$$ into creating elaborate dungeons and rare items, it's put into cutscenes, talking NPC's with famous actor voice overs, having 100 people...

the first time realizing a orc warrior was a fuck ton tougher than an orc warrior. oh, and shouting "a sand giant hits YOU for 36 damage!" in oasis and watching all the noobs shit themselves.

i would whole heartedly agree with you if EQN had one single idea that was truly original. however, all they have done is copy every game that has come out over the past 10+ years, stir it in a giant pot, and then call it unique. anything and everything they are describing has been done before...

this. and this is what i'm afraid of with EQN. i can't believe that people are jizzing all over themselves at the thought of these rallying cries. all i heard from ponytail was how sandboxy this version of EQ was going to be. well, rallying cries are about as far from sandbox as you can get. in...

thank you. at least one other person gets it. "EQN! play your way...as long as your way is the way we want you to play."

one starting city for all races is lazy, shitty programming. seriously, you're telling me it's doable in the original EQ in 1999 but somehow would be too taxing to do it in 2013 and beyond? the depths at which the people posting here will go to defend the devs at sony is truly pathetic. they had...

yeah, i understand that. i guess my point is these rallying cries seem to be tied to the storybricks aspect of the game, which seems to be the focal point of EQN. so instead of just creating a world and letting the players create the interaction within the world (and their own experiences), it's...

i'm not a pre teen with a forrest gump level IQ so i like the artistic style in this game way more than the walt disney/pixar nightmare that is warcraft, i mean everquest next.

i have a problem with this whole scenario because when i played the original EQ, i was never FORCED into doing anything. when i logged in, i chose what i wanted to do; dungeon crawl, look for rare spawns, help others, travel somewhere off the beaten path, try and figure out a quest, just fuck...

don't know what the actual gameplay will be like, but that vid looked 10,000 times better than what sony has shown of EQN...

i remember dying at an early level (around 20 i think?) in lesser fay to the fucking brownies. me and 2 other friends saw what looked like a smurf village and said "shit, let's check this out." of course we died within 10 seconds and we were fortunate enough to get a level 40 druid and bard who...

dude, asheron's call had this shit almost 15 years ago. again, nothing new. this is no different than the coca cola company brining out "coke classic" and everyone spooging all over themselves at this brand new gimmick, when all it was was their original recipe redone. from every single thing...

yes, a lot of people have the dec 2012 join date, since that's when this website went live, you cock sucking faggot retard.

yes, because you and blanco aren't just alt accounts of blackwulf. you and blanco both just joined this month and only post in defense of BW. making alt accounts to try and defend your own stupidity? talk about pathetic.

i have a friend in the beta. i've seen it several times. it looks and plays almost exactly like darkfall. if you like that game, i guess you'll like TESO.

i'm shocked you are able to take your hands off of the dev's cocks long enough to post here.

"you just yadda yadda'd the best part!"

do you understand that there are literally tens of thousands (if not more) of players out there who played the original EQ and have been waiting for this game for years? they should be catering to players like us because we're the ones who played everquest for 5 or more years and aren't going to...

yes! let's make a new everquest game and completely alienate everyone who actually remembers and gives a shit about the IP! what a great business decision by sony! anyone who defends this level of retardation should kill themselves.

i think the tell tale sign that this game has gone from suck to blow is that even people who were blindly defending the choices the devs were making just a little over a week ago are already changing their tune. zzeris had georgeson balls deep inside of him last week and is now posting "fuck...

friends that were actually friends and not just a means to an end, loot that made you want to stay on for endless hours just to try and get it, dungeons that felt truly epic, the fact that even doing things at very low levels felt like a great adventure (just going to kelethin from felwithe for...

aside for the name, there is absolutely nothing EQ about EQN...it looks like WoW, has classes like GW2, events like rift, and will suck like SWTOR. congrats, SOE on another flaming pile of shit.

i have an identical twin brother, but we never shared the same character/account. i played a wizard and he was a cleric. he joined the marines right after college so he never got to play that much, so i wound up leveling up his cleric so i could have a cleric alt whenever i wanted. worked out...

my senior year of college, and i just bought a brand new computer. was talking to a friend of mine and told him i was looking for a game to play on my new comp and he said "have you heard of this game called Everquest? there was an article about it in rolling stone magazine. apparently it's like...

look, i can tell that you're not very smart, so i'll try and use small words. the people like me who want a game like the original aren't asking for an exact replica. we just want a game that uses the same basic mechanics and play style of the original game: specific classes/roles (trinity with...

you keep saying the market is too small. where is your fucking proof? EQ had over a half a million players 10 years ago, when most of the gaming world didn't even know what a MMO was. so why do you think that almost a decade later that only a handful of people would want to play a game like...

the worst part about it from what i've read is that it isn't even really multi classing, is it? i mean, can you be a warrior/wizard/cleric/bard simultaneously? can you just take the skills/abilities from each of the classes you like and infuse them to create your own hybrid?

it's sad that fuckwits like you that never even played EQ are trying to comprehend why the people that did play it want another game that is similar.

nail. in. coffin.

it's sad that you never heard of a game called dark souls which makes your statement completely obsolete.

problem is going to be if you're looking to get into any high end guild, they will probably have a minimum requirement of classes that you need to have to tier 5 or they won't even look at you. kind of like the original EQ was with AA's (only not nearly as cool).

congrats on making the dumbest post in history. if you really believe that EQ players wouldn't want a hardcore MMO, then i totally understand why this pussy game is right up your alley. when'd you start playing MMO's, right around TBC WoW?

because they started making TESO about 12 years ago...

better off going for a few hundred thousand that would play for 5 or more years and pay a monthly sub than this f2p abortion which everyone will abandon after a month (see also GW2, rift, SWTOR, WAR, AOC, etc...)

this is what scares me the most (and what i know will happen eventually). when everyone has been playing for a while (few months?), they will have several classes unlocked and tiered up. now, when you get together with your friends, instead of being identified as an awesome wizard, or warrior...
