@yosh just retweeted coverage of the SOE Live event. PS4 announcement incoming.

Pretty much. I mean, the problem is obvious. Even if you have a "grow thicker skin" or "take or leave it attitude," it's not hard to see why developers opted to leave it. It's not my community to moderate by any means, but when a forum is receptive to full blown attacks on people that go far...

While we're debating the important shit like pronunciation (koonarc, checking in), what's the call on Felwithe? I say Fell-weeth (soft th like in "the").

I like how they called Greater Faydark a "steaming jungle swap." That's that 1999 horsepower blended with thick layers of fog, lol. Edit: I guess I always pronounced Vie wrong. It rhymes with bee, not buy.

Doesn't seem to be according tothis tweetandthis tweet. Who knows though, maybe he'll drop in on wire suspensions wielding two flaming swords screaming Aradune is stinky for the EQN unveil.

Considering how many times I've been kicked in the balls by an MMO, my scrotum is pretty much calloused over at this point.

It's time to slay the dragon.

I'm not sure what's more startling, that EQN might launch this year or that 2016 isn't that far off. It's true, but where the hell did the time go and why am I so stuck on reliving an experience from more than 14 years ago? I think there's some weight to what you're saying and I never considered...

I'm an admitted ween when it comes to PvP in MMOs. My IRL can be chaos so when I finally get to chill in an MMO the idea of getting a dagger in my back while I'm trying to frolick along in Faydark or some shit sounds unappealing. I always figure if I'm going to compete, I'll play a traditionally...

With the recent delay, and considering one Blizzard year is the equivalent to three in normal developer standards, we'll all be bickering about what brand is the best in adult diapers by the time Titan releases.

I don't doubt that, but PS2 followed the pattern I mentioned if I recall right. There was that early trailer, then an E3, then a big presence at SOE Live. If they do this, it'll fly in the face of at least whatIconsider to be conventional videogame marketing. And not that the cross over is huge...

I'll totally own up to it if this damn game launches in 2013. Like, two months ago I thought all you guys were batshit insane and now I'm getting all insecure. Even if it launches in the early part of next year, I'd have been way off. From a marketing standpoint, I just don't understand pulling...

I never played one but even I respected those big bastards with their awesome run animation and cobbled together armor set. Speaking of animations, I don't know the history but I have to imagine the Luclin model animations were never properly complete. The swinging animations, sitting, walking...

Flipmode, you should have asked if trolls were proper trolls again: fatty shapes and big ears.

It was live during their Twitch thing but I closed it out. I'm pretty sure they're going to post it up eventually. To avoid any kind of hyperbole, I should say dismissed and scoffed off more than ripped. He tried to make the point that it was no more information than we already know which is...

Ah, hadn't notice. Good on him I guess, but should probably practice a little better discipline before making a false headline. Edit: lol they just ripped his post on EverCast podcast.

Funny because the guy who does EQNWire posted that as @pentapod flat out saying it's BS when all she really implies is that it might not be 100 percent correct anymore.

Hinted at to the point of almost being confirmed. It will be eventually, count on that. Only predictions on my part, but a very, very easy one.

I'm going to dye mine all sorts of fancy colors.

I remember that, I just don't remember what it was about. Maybe launch dates? Or maybe that I think it's ridiculous to think it'll launch this year on PS4 (I think it's coming to the console, but no way is it coming to PS4 this year). I'm not big into the avatar betting and on these forums, I'm...

The only reason he kept mentioning Minecraft is because the big new surprise is that the entire game is made of blocks.

Been a while since anyone posted anything on this game, but anew progress videowas released today. It shows environments, characters, armor, the same goblin dudes we've been seeing forever, and a blurry and stupid looking ogre thing at the end.

I wouldn't worry about it, the actual goals aren't really anything to hype. That inside look video will release at some point anyways and SOE Live goers are getting that poster regardless, like tad mentioned.

I know someone who would love to have it, wrong-weapon-wielding Firiona and all. Also,I love MIDI EQmusic so much. I listen to this stuff way more than I should.

New stretch goals at theofficial site.The stretch goals aren't anything great, but the second one would be cool for anyone going to SOE Live.

Amerish is apretty lush environmentso it's easy to see how people could find similarities.

This. Can't find the thread right now, but I believe it was a post on the PS2 forums. Foliage is identical.

Amerish.

Google points it to just being a post on the Project 1999 forums. I don't think he's attributing it to something said by an employee, but the idea that the design philosophy probably won't happen again in an MMO.

Nailed it. This game is going to evoke strong reactions no matter what, but there are way too many people trying to validate their fixed opinion with a single piece of art. I get that years of shitty MMOs has made everyone jaded as shit, but it's too early to judge anything without a single...

Double post, sorry.

One piece of art caused pages of drama. It's going to be a madhouse come August 2.

Looking through the artist'sart gallery, he's definitely capable of pulling off the Keith Parkinson look so the art is damn sure driven by in-game influence. Hopefully the Ogre being ridiculously small and the Kerran being mega sized is a bit off, but we're stuck with a bow and blade wielding...

This whole thread is going to turn into a mix of hatred and love starting now, right into SOE Live and on through launch. Fuck it though, I like the art. Nagafen looks like a boss. The worst part for me is Firiona Vie wielding a bow and sword because how the fuck does that even happen and hey...

Pretty much agree. I don't deny being a hardcore fan of the original EQ so maybe my opinion has some bias in it (to be fair, it didn't prevent me from quitting EQ2 within a month), but I'm starting to view EQN as one of the last remaining hopes to get me back into MMOs. I play a shitload of...

Yeah, but he wasn't specific at all. When asked about it,Brasse said this. Not saying she would necessarily know the facts because if EQ Next is truly so shrouded in secrecy, she may not have had any idea what he was implying. But it just sounds like a coy way of saying something more than a...

About which part? I could have been less wordy and said "housing." Unless you mean the player ran city part, which yeah, I would be disappointed if that's not in to some extent. It's hard to tell if people have actual sources for the comments or are just making random comments. Based on this...

If the idea is massive appeal for everyone, then the content is going to reach from extremely casual to massively complicated, it'll just apply to different forms of gameplay. I fully expect player built cities where people can spend their days crafting or constructing fancy houses complete with...

I don't even know what that is, honestly. Unlike a lot of people here, despite putting in way too many hours into MMOs (well, mostly EQ) it was always more about the journey for me and less about learning all the different intricacies of the mechanics driving the game. The basis for my reasoning...

I like dedicated roles and thought the hotswap shit and Rift was utter garbage, but based on what little is being thrown out there, it definitely sounds like the class system is going to lean more flexible than rigid.
