Should? Why should they? They've departed so far from the original EQ Lore, there is no 'should' at this point. Where they're going makes sense with how they've set up the lore. Does it make for the most compelling RPG? We'll have to see.

There's a difference between no evil at all, and no races being predetermined as evil. From what we know, evil in this world will be created by players through their actions. Do you choose to save the farmers, or help the Orcs pillage them? So to suggest that evil won't be present in the...

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I think many/most ex-MMO players are looking for their next fix, like most of us have been since the original EverQuest. I think the game actually sounds great to a lot of people right now, because it's still just mostly a concept. A part of this is...

On this forum, you're absolutely right. On the internet as a whole, I don't think so. There's thousands upon thousands looking for a good new MMO to play, if there weren't - shitty MMOs wouldn't be selling hundreds of thousands of boxes on every release. If you think the only people keeping an...

There's a difference between taking a 'Lets wait and see' attitude with realistic expectations, and just straight up attacking every thing they say, do, etc. People need to stop getting their panties in such a twist and just chill the fuck out. The craziness in this thread lately is FAR from...

I can't even hardly stand reading this thread lately. It's so fucking pessimistic. What's hilarious is people trash other websites for slobbing all over SoE's cocks, when this forum is becoming just as bad for the exact opposite reason.Oh look at those fucking grease balls talking about their...

Shrug. I loved EQ up to and including Planes of Powers.

Well, Jeff Butler who everyone here apparently dislikes, was a producer for Kunark, Velious, Shadows of Luclin, and Planes of Power.

Archaeology in World of Warcraft was a joke. It really has very little in common with what you quoted. The 'digging' was superficial, and was basically just a randomly chosen area with RNG loot when you 'excavated'. To compare that to actually physically digging into the world, possibly...

I'm going to buy up a shit ton of property then rent them to other players for in-game currency, using the permission system. If those fuckers refuse to pay up, I cut them off! I also reserve the right to resell anything they create in the PlayerStudio.

The telegraphing makes me concerned that every boss fight just boils down to"Stay out of the red area!"and start to feel a little bit rote after a while. There's definitely a higher mechanical skill requirement, but there's seemingly a lower knowledge requirement. I guess an argument can be made...

I remember faking being sick so I could stay home to camp Trakanon for like 18 hours for my Singing Short Sword. Then I just started ditching a lot of school until I was homeschooled and got a job at a PC Cafe. Then I was basically paid to EverQuest all day long. Best High School job ever...

It seems fucking odd to have Kerran but not Halflings or Trolls. I think they'll find their way in. Or atleast hope.

This game takes place during a time when Halflings preferred to keep their feet shaved. Although a few opt for the big toe landing strip.

Except, their nights are pretty noticeably darker. Pitch black and absolutely require a light source? Not really. But still a noticeable difference. I just think this is such a small thing to get so hung up about. You shouldn't have to change the gamma levels of your monitor JUST to play the...

They're just projecting their disappointment in EverQuest Next not being EverQuest HD on to Georgeson. It's funny that people criticize Reddit for gushing over the devs, when this forum can be just as bad for the exact opposite reason.

You guys seriously dislike/hate Ponytail so much, you're extrapolating so much out of nothing. It's both hilarious and perplexing.

Really depends on whether EQ Landmark can hold my attention.

I've been wondering when there was going to be Facebook-like profiles, but for characters. Seemed inevitable. Not 100% sure how I feel about it, but it could beokayif implemented well.

So is this actually going to be substantive information since it has to be reviewed by SoE?

You honestly think it's a good idea to force people to pump up their Gamma just to play the game, until they figure out they need a Lightstone? Again, the game should be easy to get into, and hard to master. Let noobs be noobs. Butdon'tdesign the majority of the game around them (which is...

For who? The Rerolled crowd or the average MMO player? Look, it wasn't 'difficult' to get a lightstone, but as a brand new player with no MMO knowledge, you really had no clue or indication. I remember cranking up the Gamma on my monitor just so I could see what the fuck was going on. I...

I don't know why people are getting so hung up on the Denial of Service quote. If you think it's a good idea to put in systems that make people not want to play as soon as they log in, then you're a fucking moron. Yes, it may not make the world as 'immersive' or whatever bullshit you want to...

I think this confirms that they eventually want to put StoryBricks in the hands of players: Another good quote:

Edit: Shit.

I remember when there was a bug with the Eye of Zomm. As a Mage, if you summoned one and then killed it, you could summon another pet. I summoned like 50 Air Elementals and then challenged people 10+ levels higher than me to duels for platinum.

Like...a real suicide...or video game suicide? She might have just been fucking with you. Everyone knows those people whomysteriouslydied, likely just to change characters, personas, or just quit the game. Although now that you bring it up, I did have a EQ buddy who did die (for real) while...

Hah, I doubt he knows who I am. If I remember correctly though, his wife was the guild leader of Gathered Might? Might be wrong on that. I just remember his name, because I always thought it was a cool name. And you doubted I played EverQuest, rolx. Shame on you. Edit: Also, I'm fairly...

I was in your guild I remember they accused our guild of doing it since we were in direct competition.

So if anyone else played on Solusek Ro, you'd know it was the unofficial European server. Basically every day was a slugfest between American and European guilds to fight over raid spawns. It got so intense that both sides resorted to hacking to protect spawns. I present to you, the story...

Shit, just getting in those level gaps where you can't find anything to kill but blue or red mobs is enough to make me say 'fuck this'. Hitting those slumps makes me feel like I'm progressing at a glacial rate. If my wife or a friend played with me I'd probably stick with it a bit more, but my...

According tothis website, Planetside has an average of 10-15,000 concurrent players, with peaks as high as 40,000-70,000~. Smedley said Planetside 2 was pulling bigger numbers in China than US, as well.

This is what I'm thinking. I don't think they're just going to make the most iconic Dragons in the game some random spawn. They'll be the Dragons who take over Qeynos and force people to Rally and build Halas.

True. But that's really half of why StoryBricks was created - to give players control and let them make their own stories. Will SoE allow that? We'll have to see. But it was designed by StoryBricks to be used that way.

There's no static spawns. But they didn't say what exactly causes mobs to spawn, either. There's probably some logic behind it, and not automatically filling the world 'just because'. But who knows. So little concrete information.

I wouldn't want to see it in EVERY game, but I think it's certainly an interesting concept that works with the model they've developed. I mean, how much of an MMO world is just empty, boring space? Why not lets players design that space and feel involved? With StoryBricks, it really doesn't...

Carebear as in PvE players? I'm confused. We cool bro. Your rant against workers was interesting.

Do we hate transmogs now? Hard to keep up. I like the idea of it being limited at the very least - can only transmog Dark Elf Plate with other Dark Elf Plate, etc.

And the thing is too, it probably won't even be beneficial to have every single person to take a heal. Will you be able to defeat content with everyone healing themselves? Probably. But that doesn't make it the most efficient way.
