She's always been pretty cool. The problem is she isn't ultimately in charge and probably just going to keep moving forward leaving a trail of broken game play and features behind her. Just going by past conversations with her, I think she knows the problem but i'm not sure there's any hope...

Everquest Update from Holly.... I wonder who has been meeting with all these guys from Nova? Or DayBreak? Who's steering this ship at the offices now?

Did know Holly was EP of EQ? Thought it was EQII only? Edit: Guess her EQ Update answered my question....

Honestly, I don't know the entire truth of Georgeson but I do know where ever he was, quality decline was sure to follow. It was noticeable in EQ, it was horribly noticeable in EQII, and what did we get with anything he paraded after those titles? He may have always been doing his job and as...

Just think... in a matter of hours, we'll be in single digits for the announcement and something else to talk about. :P

That's something I haven't thought of until now... Wonder how Daybreak will handle P1999 and/or EQEmu for that matter? I guess right now there is no need to villainize yourself any further but in time... who knows. If I was Daybreak, I would let out the server code and create a way for...

I thought we did? Conquest / Lanys T'vyl... We made the internet news and got the ban hammer. Again, long time ago and I got the second hand info lol

I was in that guild... I really don't think we exploited. The story goes we were exploiting some z-axis garbage but they freaked out when the script began running. The sleeper turned into a giant human and starting wrecking stuff. When the script got to a certain point, everything pretty...

Just don't go looking around too much. Between MMORPG.com, Youtube, and just random idiots in cyberspace, they think Georgeson is some type of gaming genius. To me, he's one of those guys that smiles and talks enough to make you think he's steering the ship and is in charge when in reality...

I'm really glad to see they eliminated the question of, "...will this affect gameplay?", discussion right out of the gate. Good for them. I'm liking their direction more and more. Can't wait to see what comes of this in 11 days. As of today, they still have my support.

In Hartsman's defense, Rift would have been the game if some of the changes out of beta wouldn't have happened. You may have meant that but Rift was a near perfect attempt at the type of game we were looking for but instead of taking the steps in the right direction it took an unexpected turn...

You hit the nail on the head. Landmark really doesn't allow equal opportunity experiences. Minecraft allows everyone to play and while there's some crazy creations, especially with red stone, you can replicate just about anything in Minecraft. Heck, children, very young children do awesome...

You should see the MMORPG.com Youtube videos and comments about the layoffs today. I cannot believe how many delusional people there are in the world.

I'm sure they are not wanting to throw the captain of the ship overboard but I think once the dust settles they can Smed as well.

I'm sure they are just cutting people that one, either have a bloated salary, or two simply have nothing to show for themselves. The reality is there are a lot of people that can do what these guys do. They are really over glorified in their positions and if you can pay someone 15%-30% less...

Yeah... thank goodness. She's one of the good ones. Just curious how long they'll continue with the lay offs.

Wow.. didn't think PS2 would be hit much. Looks like everyone will working with skeleton crews.

What kind of guy is Trost? Honestly, i'm rooting for Holly to take over.

In discussing Moorguard, who established the original Everquest lore? Also, who developed the lore through PoP?

Maybe we can talk Georgeson into stopping by for a "tell all" post. IF EQ and the franchise were to shutdown man do I have some questions for some of those guys if they would answer.

The software world really has two very extreme spectrums. There are areas that seem to have a lot of turn over simply due to start up or project intense needs that just simply deflate up release and then you have the lifers. Some of these guys that have 12 years should really be thankful...

So true... guess i'll work on that tonight.

To me if you (Nova) believes SoE has been poorly managed or whatever, Georgeson isn't the only one to blame. In my opinion, if Dave goes then Smed should go as well. I never really cared much for him anyway. There has been times I thought he was a really douche though he was quite good with...

yeah... i'm cool with it and he has some ground because people he knows lost their job plus his own may be heading out himself. I wish the best for him and his fellow (former) workers. Believe me, I'm sad about this but it's been a long time coming. This just bring validity SoE/EQ is pretty...

Well in his defense, even if he did know better, he had to defend the company and give the standard press response. I just didn't appreciate him being snippy and telling me to "keep up" because it wasn't about keeping up but discussing the reality of the situation. Sorry for all the typos...

As much as I would like to see them make EQNext, I kinda hope they reboot the idea again because I really don't think it was going in an attractive direction. I think they should attempt to find out what they have in their possession first before developing anything new. I'm not sure they even...

The couple times I have spoken to Holly (via social media to clarify) she has been pretty cool. Anyone have any impression on her?

Yeah... look at my response to that moment as well. I explained that a lot of times the "name change" is said just to get the papers done and legalities out of the way. Once everything goes through, leases are let go, people are pink slipped, and everything changes and changes quickly. As I...

Seriously, I don't wish any ill fate on anyone and hope he gets another job and everything but this was a must in my opinion. Even if their suits and strategist did a little Google searching it wouldn't be difficult to see that Georgeson was a bad thing.

Alright guys... Rerolled Game Consulting company is putting is a bid to run Daybreak games. Let's get it together.

If Georgeson has been laid off, there may be some hope left yet... Clean up that resume Brad.... here's that chance to get back in. (Sorry Pantheon devs) This is going to be fun to sit back and watch... Any clue if the people at Nova even know anything about EQ?

With resumes that would rival those of Pantheon's.

Me too.. Seriously, I'm not a fan of grinding but I would prefer to enjoy the ride. I know EQ was a grind but I had a lot of fun doing it. Maybe it was a time, maybe it was just the younger version of me but I like sitting around with people, having some pull, knowing our individual role, and...

I teach a 3D Gaming / Programming class at our High School and through a grant I will have Unity 5 next year. We would have a small team to dictate

I know I will.. the hype train game is better than any current MMO out. I hate to say it but I had more fun at one time on the Pantheon discussions than I have in some MMO's. Not paying for a sub and throwing my money at Kickstarters and then complaining and/or reading all the drama is my MMO.

haha.. yeah, I forgot about gfay. Lanys was a EC server but we had some people in gfay. Just looking at that image this morning just made me think of when was the last time I saw a group of people to that number gather in a place? Org on WoW I guess but no one is really talking but just...

I saw this image on Facebook and this reminded me of how MMO's took too big of steps away from their core. EC Tunnels was a great community layer that I always enjoyed but it took time, I understand that inconvenience. I thought the Bazaar was somewhat a positive step but they moved the...

Maybe the word is out about us and they put the Rerolled people in wave 6. As in... there is no wave 6

Flex... would you stop that!!! LOL Pantheon did have a good run..... I had some great Photoshop fun with it..
