Should be Freeport. Unless you're talking about "the wise masters of strategy, the Ogres," part.

I didn't say I wanted a remake, just an MMO with some edge to it. Despite some immense reservations, I'm still looking forward to EQN but that fucker isn't going to be here for a while. There are some key elements of the classic EQ1 design that I'm incredibly fond of and if there's anything...

Serious question, what MMOs are out there (or coming soon) that come even remotely close to scratching that old EQ itch? I see talks of Black Desert but the combat there is incredibly over the top and action heavy. It looks nice enough (some serious texture issues in the video I've seen), but...

No, it's true. I didn't say you, but I can dig through my post history and numerous people said 2013 or at worst spring 2014. Some even thought it'd launch on PS4 this year. Not that it matters, this shit is a long ways off.

Holiday 2014 at best. I'm still trying to figure out why everyone with an inside source was pushing the "it'll hit way sooner than everyone thinks" so hard (to the point I was questioning myself). It had to have been Landmark.

They love polls on the EQN website. They better poll this shit. They said this panel isn't gospel and they better be tweaking that shit right now.

Animations different per class even when using the same weapon. That's a nice touch.

"Class determines your armor/weapon options #EQNext" I like this. I understand if a wizard wants to hold a sword technically they should be able to, but they should also be at risk of hacking their own face of because it's a fucking wizard.

New tweets happening on Twitter @rekMMO, let's see what they say. Edit: Big Flex done beat me.

The hair always looked like Play-Doh.

I thought they already referenced underwater combat (I know oceans aren't there yet)? By launch there better be water to cross with fucking boats oar else.

When Kunark hits we can create Jurassic Park.

Definitely. Lions man, just go look at how they operate in the real word.

That second image looks dope as shit.

I hope they confirm rangers aren't a pet class. And I still can't understand why they aren't live airing this crap.

I'll just pick what I want and roll with it. Maybe if there's something that I think will add to my class, I'll try and snag that ability. Maybe people will hate me for not having fucking bard speed ready to go at the click of a mouse, but they can get bent. They'll hate me more when I roleplay...

If they can attack me, I better be able to attack them.

I understand not being a total asshole to your interviewee, but all of these interviews are so weak. The interviewer (in every case I've seen) just nods along in agreement and pats whoever they're talking with on the back the whole time. Ask a difficult question every once in a while and bring...

I wonder if the Iksar architecture concept art (click here, bottom left corner) confirms Iksar as a starting race? I thought at launch it'd only be that one continent but I guess they could launch with more.

No oceans is sucky. I want boat travel, maybe I'll get to drift to some island in the oasis or something. It looks like there's no sign of flight travel so that's good.

I was just reading through Tad's write up on EQN Junkies and he noted that armor will have special abilities tied to it. Makes sense considering the hover boots or whatever was in that parkour segment.

So they probably did very little talking in regards to equipment and weapon talk then (post unveil which had none of it). I guess I'm just stuck in the old ways or whatever people want to blame it on, but I like my gear and weapons with stats on them.

I was worried about that. Is this actually confirmed or pessimism fueled by what the most likely scenario is? That'd suck ass.

"Player stats are called attributes. Equipment will not provide attributes. Additional attributes will be extremely rare and will require tremendous effort to modify. All attributes will have impactful meaning for all classes." So, armor doesn't effect stats. Is there a good description of...

So it sounds like raids are set to be the equivalent of "stack as many friends as it takes to kill the big boss" rather than the raw "ok bros here's 10 new raids to churn through." Hopefully there are some really big bosses out there.

That was legitimate bullshit and I was never a troll. Those bitches should have started in a pond or something.

I wish someone would have brought up the auction system, but I'm guessing nobody did. I know it's too much to ask for a player driven trading community, but I'd like someone to ask the question and get laughed off stage so I can confirm we'll have some magical mail system.

It's actually second ears. Now they can see and hear better than any race in Norrath.

I don't know. I know them as that race that introduced a noob zone I hate that's auto selected as my starting city. Edit: I was more looking for "who the fuck knows or cares about Drakkin."

I imagine a bunch of softballs, nothing too crazy. "Does anyone know what the hell a Drakkin is?"

The class thing is funny because before restart number three or whatever in one of the earliest panels they mentioned wanting to get down to very small number of classes. Now that number is 40. It sounds interesting, just noting the 180. Also, I wonder if that one person who claimed SOE went...

Well, not serving up any crow for myself on the launch date. Obviously people's sources were confusing the Landmark thing for actual EQN. EQN proper is going to be lucky to hit holiday 2014 with as little as SOE showed. It's a shame they didn't show shit for grouping (more than just that...

I can't believe there's still a story going for this game and a community (however small) that actually cares. I feel like it's some sort of fan fiction.

Totally agree. The Internet, folks.

This is brutal. I should probably just tune in for the EQN reveal tomorrow but instead I'm going to which this terrible act. He even sounds bored.

Jeremy Soule is amazing. Full confidence in the soundtrack.

It's nice to dream. Pre-game WoW banter is going to happen no matter how big or small the community is and SOE damn sure isn't going to try to secretly slip this game out to avoid hitting a mainstream audience (in turn passing up money, which businesses aren't fond of).

It's fast even. The hype is really big in the MMO community that follows every new project that springs up, but the mainstream damn sure aren't actively aware of its existence (99 percent of which will also have no idea what SOE Live is). Whatever, hopefully we'll find something out Friday, but...

My original guess, but people have been making the case for a way-sooner-than-expected launch. That's sort of when I want it to launch (much to the ire of probably everyone else). My life is going to be hectic for the rest of the year and into the next, holiday of next year everyone thing should...

That's one of the major luxury items I'm hoping EQN supports. I almost Kickstarted that project but decided to hold off for the consumer model and a higher resolution. Everything I've heard about it sounds amazing.
