Sorry, I forgot it was only about you and what you want. My bad bro.

EverQuest 2 looked different than EverQuest 1. EverQuest 2 combat was different than EverQuest 1. I really don't get what your point is. They've said from the beginning that this was going to be a completely different experience from the previous games. It's okay if you don't like it, but...

Too many people expecting EverQuest HD, when they've said all long it wasn't going to be that.

Would be cool if you could be a High Elf Shadow Knight - but it took a lot of work to win the acceptance of the Shadow Knights. This is where I could see themreallygoing back to EverQuest roots, where you can control your character's place in the world.

Okay, for those concerned about everyone can just be every class: So you may not be able to be everything. Perhaps someone who becomes a Paladin is barred from becoming a Shadow Knight, because their choices took them down a different path, etc. Sounds pretty neat, and actually pretty intuitive...

For those wondering about multi-class progression: Also very interesting about stats:

I kind of look forward to it. Leveling up a character is just a barrier to what most people consider the 'real game' nowadays anyways. So what's the point of it really? Just a padding to give them more time to touch up the 'real game'? Why not just put people in the 'real game' from the very...

To me, this has more to do with dungeon design and pacing than actual combat itself. Perhaps you can move a bit quicker if you entire group can dodge every single ability, perhaps you'll need to stop and rest for a minute if a few aren't as good at dodging, etc. A need for Crowd Control will...

Not sure it's quite as black and white as you make it out to be. Go look at combat in TBC Heroics...what you did definitely mattered. They've moved away from that design, but the combat really hasn't changed as much as how dungeons and mobs work. It's completely possible to have action combat...

In EverQuest, I played on Solusek Ro, which was the unofficial Euro server. Beyond providing lots of conflict and server drama over getting raid mobs to spawn at certain times, I guess I just don't really see the benefit? Most people want servers that are in their area for performance, I would...

I dunno. I really only identify with one of my characters (my 'main'). I might enjoy my others, but I still see myself as the first character. I like the idea that I don't have to lose that identity to play a different class. Now, I don't think you should necessarily be able to switch classes at...

Except, we don't know the requirement to get the port spells. It could be difficult and very involved. But we'll have to wait and see, I guess.

I love how people know everything about the combat based on 2 NPCs killing 10 unresponsive goblins. Let's be honest, it was a glorified tech demo. I'm agree combat is going to be more WoW/GW2-like than EverQuest 1, but so what? EverQuest 1's combat was painfully boring for basically every single...

Really? The Shield Smashes were pushing mobs back, etc. Even mob corpses were getting thrown around.

My expectations were so low, I'm actually very impressed so far.

Only read bits and pieces as I watch the stream, but I'm actually a bit excited from what I read. "But every single thing the players do, the decisions they make, and the way they progress the story will alter each server individually."

Must not be that juicy of details if you don't want to be the first to get the story out (for website hits).

Have you ever been to an official video game fan-gathering before? Last night was pretty par the course. I went to Blizzcon in 2008 and it was just as bad. I consider myself pretty nerdy, and I have NEVER felt so out of place in my entire life. I just ended up standing in line to play SC2 and...

EQ2 Temple of Veeshan looked pretty awesome. I don't play EQ2, though.

You didn't want to see Smedley rap the EQN reveal?

The world actually looks kinda decent (as someone who hasn't played EQ2 at all). The player models are god awful, though.

EverQuest and EverQuest 2 just now adding/refining features that people have been bemoaning about in WoW for years. I'm not sure if this bodes well for EQN.

I was actually impressed by some of the EQ2 player made items. Too bad player made items are only going to be available at a premium from the SoE Store.

Only kinda neat thing (as someone who hasn't played in years) is that they're going to create the Plane of War for the 15th anniversary.

PST, I believe.

Smedley really heavily footstomped the SoE Player Studio as being important in EverQuest Next. I dunno, I'm sort of worried. He did also say that EverQuest Next is the most important product they're made since the original EverQuest, so atleast they sort of get how important it is for them...

Eh, I've been to BlizzCon and it's not much better. These aren't press events, really. It's a fanfaire. It's just goofy shit for their nerdy hardcore fans. While 99% of their jokes fell flat, I can somewhat appreciate the effort - despite it being incredibly cringeworthy.

I think it sounds pretty good. I'm sure some will hate any departure from the original though.

He doesn't have the proper clearance to enter the Black Box.

This is about par the course for video game fan faires. I went to a BlizzCon once, and I never felt so out of place in my life. I just ended up playing SC2 and Diablo 3 a bunch and ignored every other event.

No, the donkey dressed as Nagafen behind the curtain is.

I love how he has to explain Dragon's Prophet, since no one knows what the fuck it is.

Confirmed. EverQuest Next is doomed for failure. http://www.twitch.tv/everquestnext

Because they're playing current popular radio hits? I think you're looking into it a bit too much.

I think StoryBricks could actually bring back some wonder to MMOs. I'm sure there will be EQNextHead.com or some shit, to spoil everything eventually...but I could foresee some very complex requirements to open up a quest (without you even knowing exactly what you did to unlock it). Perhaps...

Imagine seasons changing. Imagine if you're a Druid and you need to literally seek out reagents for your spells or worship your deity in a glade somewhere off in the wilderness, but you don't know where. Or image forests growing back after they're burned to the ground by invading forces. What we...

While players could churn out A LOT more content than the devs can, my main concern goes beyond even quality. I mean, how much control do they really want to give players in shaping the world and lore? There's been a few posts in the past few pages that talked about how EverQuest was...

Really depends on whether StoryBricks is used by the Devs to make the world come alive - or whether it's given to players to create their own stuff. If the former, potentially amazing. If the latter, probably 99% dog shit.

Which have been good? Although I should take back my original statement, Lineage Eternal does look somewhat interesting - as long as they keep it more MMO-like and not stray too far down Diablo territory.
