Agreed. I wasn't fond of the whole Qeynos and Freeport thing in EQ2, but if we're starting in just a couple cities at launch so that we can go out and build the rest of the cities, and have them become starting locations, well that sounds pretty awesome.

Beyond that, if they're really serious about engaging with the playerbase and listening to people's responses when developing the game, it does make some sense to release info in a way that it directs people's conversations. If they want people's opinions on death penalties, then it makes sense...

Ya know, with all the ripping the Kerran has gotten, I find myself wondering how much of what people dislike is actually part of the core design of the kerran race, and how much of it is of the character customization of that particular kerran. It'd help to see screens of more kerrans, to...

Well, I don't if I would call it 'levitate' persay, but the "running around the desert" video had the characters wearing Boots of the Zephyr, which let them glide through the air. Your call if you want to call that a clickie, as well. No sign of the others yet.

Probably more meaningful round table stuff. It makes sense that they opened with fluff, as they were still in the process of shoveling info at us, but now that that's done I imagine they'll start doing round tables on the info they've released thus far.

Apparently it's completely on-the-fly, as long as you're not actually in combat. Of course, if the class you're switching to is drastically different from the one you're currently using, you're going to need to carry around a lot of extra gear to be at all useful. I'm still not fond of class...

Supposedly there's no real scripting at all for mobs; they'll use storybricks to let the mobs assess threats and opportunities, and let that determine how the mob will fight. They can also evidently raise and lower how smart the mob can be, so raid mobs will quickly note how players are...

Wait, are you complaining that healing skills take up a hotbar slot?

On the whole healer thing, the impression I was getting was more along the lines of: 1. Healers aren't necessary for a group. 2. Healers won't just sit back and heal. So it's not that there aren't healers, but fights can be handled in ways other than having a healer keep everyone up...

For those who are railing against the removal of the trinity, I have a question that I'm curious about. Are you against the removal of the trinity no matter what, or do you actually like what SOE was talking about regarding ramping up the AI so that tactics need to evolve beyond the trinity...

Parallel to it. Curse has the lore panel up on YouTube, if you want to track it down, but the short version is that it's an entirely new timeline, using specific elements of the previous versions of EQ lore rearranged in new patterns

*shrugs*Far as I'm understanding it, EQNL will be running on SOE's own servers, with a large number of players on each server; sounds like an mmo to me.

From what they've talked about, the lore panel in particular, I wouldn't be too surprised if the game launches with everyone starting in one city (or maybe 1-3, to accommodate those races that aren't part of the Combine), but then have then have the Rallying Cries to create a bunch of the other...

Yes, as far as we know (it's a little unclear just how many skills an individual class actually has, but I think there is actual skill acquisition). They mention having stamina, or a similar resource, for skills. As for attributes, they exist, but not on gear; so stat increases will be things...

So, to break up the angst wanking (wangsting?) around here a bit, I'll say I'm generally liking what they've told and shown us of EQN so far; obviously, all of it depends on whether or not SOE can actually pull off what they're talking about, but the concepts they're presenting largely sound...

Yeah, but I wanted to check if, say, wielding a staff would give everyone the same four abilities, or if a wizard would have one set of staff abilities, and a necro would have an entirely separate set of staff skills. Thanks for the clarification.

Bringing this back up, on the off chance Tad's heard anything:

It is worth asking whether we got the tech demo because that's all they had, or because they wanted to focus on showing a few specific features, and so built something to show those things off. Not saying the game's feature complete, or any silly shit like that, but I dare say that people...

So about the weapon-based skills, have they specified if the skills are just weapon-specific, or both weapon- and class-specific (GW2 style)? I'd imagine it's the latter, but it never hurts to clarify.

Yeah, the eye and the sword are the ones I'm having a hard time placing So yeah, Tribunal, Sol Ro, ???, Mith Marr, Karana, Inny, Cazic, ???, Brell, and Bertoxx But the file is called 'Everquest Worlds Lanyard', so I still don't know if it's actually EQN related.

EQN Junkies also has this in an article: No idea if it's actually from EQN, but if it is, it looks like a pantheon list for the game.

I'm reasonably sure everything in that twitter feed (as concerns this particular panel, at least) is about Landmark.

All true...for EQ1 and 2. But reading this thing, it seems like they're treating the lore of the previous games less as a timeline to follow, and more as a pool of story concepts that they can pull from, and reassemble in new ways. Hence, we get things like the Combine Empire (and all the...

Nope, eq2 got Sarnaks. I'm hoping EQN will repeat that come time for Kunark to appear, although I'd like it if they were redesigned to look more like the Droag race from eq2 (aka: draconians from Dragonlance, they're basically the same thing). Ok, so I read through that overly large bit of...

Hey, I can finally get on here; the site hasn't been loading for me all day. Oh good, so I'm not the only one who saw that. Overall, I like what I saw in that reveal. They definitely need to scale down the shoulder pads a bit (seriously, I'm not one to get wigged out over somewhat...

Would've liked to hear more (read: any) of the original in there, but still, not bad.

Called it Kinda

They may be building up to the EQN theme...

Clearly the proper drinking game here is to drink when Smed calls something metal

/pizza! The high point of early eq2

Zomg, the logo! Really, Smed?

Too soon for testicular cancer jokes, I guess.

That they'll be doing that roadmap thing for it that they're doing for ps2

Okay, so they're doing that roadmap thing for eqn

Thank God, the crappy "comedian" is back.

And now I can't stop staring at his shorts And now they're singing...

Okay, dude with the hair shilling dragons prophet was...words fail me.

Dear Christ, he's really going to explain every mmo...

Not nearly enough of the morbidly obese in that montage for that to possibly be accurate.

Stop taking questions from the audience, and finish your stupid little intro
