I don't think people expecting "it'll be like MMO XYZ only with this" are on the right track. Who knows if it will be better or worse, but being a replica of 12 other games flies in the face of everything they've been preaching and it's more of a recipe for disaster than success these days.

That music man, it gets me every time. I hope they go all out on the OST.

Weather effects are such an under utilized feature of MMOs. If an area or zone or whatever the shit is in a constant state of rain or sun or shadow, it gets stagnate. Something as simple as some clouds and rain in a mostly sunny region could do a lot to change the feel of the environment. This...

Another Best of Show.http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/251130/page/8 I like seeing hype and it's certainly more pre-anyoneseeinganything awards than I've seen before, but it's odd giving awards like "best of show" to something not truly on display.

It won't launch this year for many reasons, marketing and it not being ready being the biggest. This whole "ultimate sandbox" and giving players the chance to mold the world idea they're pushing means they're going to want this in place for launch with community participating -- that's what...

Sure. Avatar bet. Whatever. Never done this and I think it's a little ridiculous, but my confidence in there not being even a sliver of a chance of releasing this year is at full capacity.

I don't even have an avatar right now, lol. It's not coming out this year, it'll be late next year. Are you betting that it will be out this year? There's no way that's happening. Edit: tad10 probably hit the nail on the head. It is probably going to be tools to start creating content for the...

Holiday 2014 at best. Some people are talking crazy and think it's going to hit this year because of some vague reference Smedley said that could have meant anything.

Basically. Research the MMO you like and play the inevitable beta you'll get into at some point before release.

It's nice to see EQ Next get a nod and apparently SOE showed it off to a very, very slim few people. I don't have much faith in MMORPG.com though. Come to think of it, I don't know what "good" MMO site is out there. I actually don't mind the whole Junkies network here but each portion serves a...

The wording was on a scale of 10, how anxious are you to show fans or something to that extent.

Yeah, posted a week ago. It's buried somewhere a few pages back. Edit: I wouldn't read too deep into anything that just happened because nothing was said and it's clear they're in radio silence mode. Dude is just there to pickup a paycheck before hopping off to his next client.

Yeah, it has a human dude in armor, a skeleton and an orc animated with sound. It's from before the big redesign. Edit: I don't know, anyone expecting footage done themselves in. I'm just bummed that they didn't give us any kind of anything (you know, gameplay hints).

lol that's from the old ass video reel. I have that shit saved to my computer, too.

Yeah, I just don't get the point of this. No crow for me and I had no actual expectations for EQN news here, but I don't get the point of this livestream. I mean, this is the equivalent of nothing and this marketing dude is really awkward.

This is embarrassing, lol. Please don't lock that poor lady in the box with these dudes.

But fun and it's fun and at the core fun.

This guy is the worst at prompting for EQ Next answers. I know this all canned stuff, but still, he's bad. Edit: So, as I left [nostalgia zone] and fell into the ocean of [flashback to old times] and missed the boat, I totally had memories of [classic EQ reference]

It's always easy to spot fake cool and collective, and Omeed is doing it bad right now. Edit: lol nobody wants to know about those two games at SOE live, EQ Next bitches. This dude's jokes are going to get him mauled by the team.

My dinner plate is ready. Edit: How about just an official name or logo, I'll allow that. Also blah blah blah EQ1 blah blah EQ2.

I'd be more than happy to eat a healthy serving of king fucking crow if they show anything, I just don't think they will. It's nice to see "Welcome to the EverQuest Next livestream!" though.

Some SOE Live hype, a little tease of why it's going to be an all new experience, and that's about it.

Official Twitter up at @everquest_next, too, for all you Twitterers like me.

I doubt if any MMO, MOBA or Diablo clone fears TESO at this point.

It will be at E3 next year and I really don't think it's a big deal that it's missing this E3. The entire industry has its eyes fixated on the new consoles and despite EQ Next likely coming to PS4 some year or another, it's going to launch on PC and could easily get overlooked. More than that...

Also, no DRM which is way better news than TESO to PS4.

This shit just got announced for the PS4 lol. This could really turn it around for TESO. Edit: Live on the Sony press conference, by the way.

Holy shit that has to be a joke. I hate everything about those two images, butthis oneis even worse. How does this factor into the "what makes a sanbox lol" conversation over in the EQ Next thread?

I might logging into this free brown shit soon enough. I never actually capped. What server are you guys on (lol).

Totally agree with the italicized part. When I hear "game starts at max level" I just assume the first part of your game is lackluster bullshit. In most experiences I'm right and quit before ever reaching the "real game."

I can agree with this. Regardless of whatever bracket it falls in, I've never had as much fun with an MMO since the early days of EQ. I especially hate the ridiculous notion that you can have a perfect combative balance for PVE and PVP in a unified system. I'm OK with imbalance, it adds to the...

It's a sandpark.

You got way too caught up on the word "terrain." Although that's part of it, in that case I didn't actually mean the game's terrain -- the context was lost. When I say that, I mean the world can evolve in a way that Draegan spelled out a little better. It's about putting tools in players hands...

It's really not though, and I love EQ. It launched without rails, but by the vary definition of what a sanbox (IRL) is, EQ doesn't fit the bill. It's more like getting dropped into a park laid out with deathtraps around many corners. The playground is home to mildly challenging creatures oh and...

That doesn't seem bad but I'm waiting for this thing to reach like $10 which should be any week now.

It's going to be F2P. Sorry dude, that's the industry standard for every MMO not aiming for the niche.

I agree with this description. I think people have blurred the line on EQ because compared to games like Rift and EQ2, it felt completely open. You can start in a variety of cities, branch out in a few directions and accidentally end up in a zone full of death as a noob. It's still very...

But what if I told you that Diablo 3 has just been announced for the 360? Would that make all your dreams come true? And Ill Omen is the best. I started playing EQ just after Kunark launched, I love that expansion so much and Ill Omen might have been the highlight of my time back then.

I just spent the last hour Twitter fighting about DRM policies of the new consoles, I make no claims to not being a nerd -- I just don't know my movie composers.

Given his work, I'm sure he's a house fucking name in nerd culture. But no, I wasn't kidding.
