You mean like Cleric, Druid, Shammy? Tanks? You mean like Warrior, SK, and Monk? Bad: Making multiple classes all able to fill any role needed. Its a clusterfuck. It doesn't work and just leads to everyone soloing their way to max level. Dependence on classes is key to making this work. Its...

Interesting. That might have been my first guild. Was the guild leader named, Maximillius, or something like that? We did an 8 hour corpse run and finally had to get a real guild in there to help. Can't remember who. Might have been Prophecy or Phantom Raiders.

I see where your going with this, and to some extent I agree. But again, your starting to lean to the, "lets speed things up, less downtime, more efficiency, lets stay busy, keep moving".....and I can't help but think the idea is already going a place we already decided may be quicker, yes, and...

I remember waiting 3 hours for the pullers/clerics/chantys to figure out wtf they were doing and how they were going to organize the Rathe Council rotation. I fucking felt bad I couldn't help at all. That was a sadistic design by the devs. WOW.

I actually did read it all for the record but that first paragraph really stuck out. After about my 10th port to Skyshrine I would tell whoever wanted the ride,"Dude, this ones gonna cost ya. Not gonna lie. Not doing a nice "whatever you can afford" on this ride".Nearly every fucking time I...

Why should the new player have to do less work then the original player who busted his ass leveling up? Sure, it will have to be addressed 5 years after release but petitioning for an easier path for newer players won't win you many fans on these boards.

Or why not send one of the dozen or so wizzys or druids who are ooc'ing ports for donations a tell? It worked like a charm in EQ. Rarely could anyone not find a ride. If you provide "clickys" to travel anywhere you want to go then no one is going to donate, even a small amount of coin to a wizzy...

Three years out and your already trying to put us wizzys and druids out of business with alternate means of travel. Not nice dude, not nice.

I don't give a shit what Brad produces. I will support him. Its not really about Everquest, although I was addicted to that like a fucking crack head. I played it so much, and so hard, and so many hours, I burned out after our guild took down Quarm (17th guild overall to kill him which I'm proud...

Haha good point. I have to admit, I've never liked their music and am continually mystified how they sell so many albums. But to each his own.

Interesting how some think that a template or design that is older just won't work because time has passed it by. Just because its old doesn't mean there is no interest in it.

To be fair, in 3 years the going rate for a monthly sub will probably be around $20 or $25. That's still not bad. Bowling, pool, or a bar could easily run ya $100+ for ONE night of fun.

Interesting. Maybe Dan will let us know whats up.

There was 20 things to do while waiting. I used to port people around for coin, work on faction, work on the coldain ring quest, craft, quad in CS, take a break and check my screen every few minutes, or just find another group. You act as if you just had to sit in the corner and wait. And even...

The Karanas is a great example of that.

I don't think any of us are looking for EQ again. All we want is "the list" followed. By the list I mean, our great wishlist we have been constructing throughout this thread. Vanguard was not Everquest 2 but if it had been mechanically sound, it fits quite of few of the wishlist demands and...

Thats why most of are playing emulators of some sort right? I may be wrong because I selfishly started my own server, p99 was doing quite well. There are thousands and thousands of us who are STILL playing the original Everquest. It won't be a "WOW killer", but there has been a strong following...

Oh please. GW2 is closer to Battlefield then Everquest. The entire fight mechanics is build around a spastic, how fast can you run, jump, and click buttons. Its great if your 14 I suppose.

To be fair, I agree with him. At least EQ2 is an actual fantasy MMO. GW2 is more like a first person shooter pretending to be an MMORPG. Twitch combat, running, rolling, shooting, dodging, running some more, duck, run, dodge...GW2 sucks.

!!!!!

I am currently playing EQ2, VG (sorta), and a personal EQEmulator. VG has it about right but if we go ol' school, 10-12 would be appropriate.

This is an excellent idea. Mix and match zones with low/mid/high level content. This doesn't mean (obviously) level 10 mobs running around with level 40 mobs, but put newer dungeons in older zones. Mixing older, more experienced players with newbies is always a good thing.

You mean like EQ? Pretty much no to all of this You mean like Everquest? That will never work and fuck over all your players? Really?

This thing is YEARS from beta. Its just concept art. That's it.

That's more like a kilt.

I wish it was that easy. Not sure how long you played, but as a raider it sucked ass to deal with the hundreds of flat out lousy players in say, BOT, so we would head to POF. It was a breath of fresh air to not have to deal with all the horrible players.

Outstanding! Thank you very much for the responses Brad!

Just start an alt dude? Why make it so complicated?

Maybe not necessarily a quest to enter a zone, but it could be something more simple like, finishing a previous zone to get access to another zone.

Brad, can we expect to see zones "flagged". In other words, you have to do a quest to enter the zone? I think earning your way into zones is fair and to be honest, it keeps the "rif raff" out, but quite a few people hate flagged zones.

Doesn't matter. Brad already answered the question.

I understand what your trying to say, and on the surface it makes sense. But the downside of that is having to think about every single name of every single mob you create rather then just using a name generator. Or, just fighting blindly and when you die, start over. Your idea is a bit extreme.

Ok great. Thanks for the clarification Brad.

Not a big fan of the "just guess" idea to "con" a mob. I'm all about less hand holding but seriously, Just take a guess? That's a dumb idea.

Red, yellow, blue, etc? Can you elaborate on that at all?

I don't know much about kickstarter, but I would guess its not a guarantee of returns. Right? I think of it as an investment. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they do not. If you donate, your not guaranteed results. Anything I donate to the project is just that. A donation.

I have no idea what the "+gooderer" system is, but if I have to whip out a fucking engineering calculator to decide if a piece of gear is an upgrade, then no, I would prefer to keep it simple.

While were at it, lets reduce the level of complication required when creating (choosing) gear. Str,Cha, Wis, Int, Hp, resists=good. We don't need 27 stats per item, 20 of which very few even know WTF all that crap is supposed to mean. Lets just keep it simple.

I've been purposely avoiding this discussion. Funding is going to be a nightmare. Even on a small scale making an MMO is horribly expensive. I have no idea what they have planned.
