Tax Returns will starting rolling out in a few weeks so he has a chance to coax some people into giving up a little bit of cash to his cause if he can be convincing enough. I don't think this will come down to big contributions rather than getting enough exposure to where a lot of people chip...

This... Seen the day EQII gave experience for discoveries I thought this same thing. Especially if you could somehow work ships and navigation into the game, could you imagine how cool maps, compasses, and other tools would be if they were essential to survival and quality of life?

Runneye was the first zone I stood at the zone line and thought to myself.. "Wow, do I really have to go in there?" We weaved around until we found the other side and actually passed people leveling and pulling the eye for the staff quest (I think). We zoned out and thought it would be clear...

I agree... one of my top 3 favorite zones to this day in the EQ universe. However, with that in mind, I wonder if the actual content philosophy will be the same? Meaning, though we have that designer on board, will there be rooms with named spawns that will be contested (even lines of groups...

I would only agree if the zone is a repeated inconvenience. I think people are suggesting to make zones more meaningful across the board making them less appareling to just "pass over"

The problem with any PvP is this.. it's pointless. I'm a major proponent to PvP but there has yet to be anyone to make it an integral part of the game. EQ2 at one point made it fun but it really wasn't a major part of your character's progression. They tried to make it important by adding...

Whoa.. wait a sec.. who is he referring to?

Out of all seriousness, EQ's music honestly added to the gameplay at least in my opinion. I still go back and listen time to time for a dose of nostalgia.

Agreed... Not to agree with myself but I agreeing that mixing players is a good thing. I think that is a major part of improving the health and the longevity of MMO's. Why do we have "noobie" areas or such segregated tiered areas to where you never see other players. Understood we are not...

YUP... this!

I like the idea of 8 slots. Just stay away from EQ2's system. Also, is there going to be auto-attack? I may sound like a broken record but I really believe you could copy and paste about 80% of EQ and be pretty close to a solid game. May I make another suggestion, don't expand the...

Wanted to chime in a couple of things that i've been going back and forth on. First armor and armor customization. I've always been torn as I really liked having appearance slots al a EQII to set myself apart without impacting my gear. I can remember in EQ putting on resist gear and hating...

My list.. 1. Instance vs. Non-Instance (and I'm not totally against it but I do feel as previously stated below...) 2. Travel / Porting / LFG Mechanics (i.e. will I be instantly ported to my group or have ports within a guild hall or some type of hub) 3. Death Penalty 4. Pulling 5. Raid...

Definitely the big two. I would be really curious to see Brad's ideas as I feel the best approach to ether of these have been discovered. However, I do hate durability loss as a death penalty. Me dying has little to do with my armor getting messed up and then causing me to drop an...

I think we had some decent discussion about instance vs. non-instance. I noticed people spoke in regards to raid caps. Armor, UI, and a couple of other items popped up as well. There has been a lot of talk in regards to classes which also stemmed into travel. AA's /levels were discussed...

I was surprised at how much my family and I enjoy the system. I really bought it forward thinking of games such as Smash Bros., Mario Kart, new Zelda, etc. I had the extra money at the time, I had just sold my 360 and I had played the new Mario at a Gamestop so I bought it. I also have a PS4...

As I said in my previous post that I don't think our ideas are taken into any major consideration but it was more for us as roundtable and if Brad wants a general idea how this community feels, it would be easily found.

I am... If he is wanting anything out of this or if anyone was curious what points have been commonly raised or agreed upon, you do run into a page worth of good points and discussion only to be followed by 2-3 pages of bantering. Maybe it could be done roundtable style. Where we vote on a...

Just a question to admin/mods... would it be worthwhile to possibly have some of the more prevalent or repeated points listed in the initial post? I'm not saying Brad's going to take anything we say into any major consideration but if agreeable points are made would be nice to see them in one...

Wow... I really thought I might have been in the minority with my instancing/traveling opinion haha. Well, I'm glad that others agree and we can only hope that Brad makes note. I completely understand that if research says otherwise, Brad and the team are not going to change the world for the...

I can't believe people advocate instancing... I've posted this a thousands times and I still believe that instancing is a contradiction to the genre. How can you be immersed in a world that is separate from the world itself. The whole point of an MMO is to exist in a world that is occupied...

I would pay money listening to my friends on Skype interact with people... Friend: No, No, No, wait i'm cool, i'm friendly Guy: You want a gun? Friend: Sure, that's awesome bro thanks Guy: Click Click (handcuffs) Friend: Ahh... don't do this Guy: Get on the ground Friend: I'll...

I do not necessarily agree with this... I think we have a lot of bad tastes in our mouth from 1999 not to mention our current taste has been mediocrity and mechanics that simply spoil the player. Sure, there's a lot that probably would not work mainstream from 1999 but I think people want a...

Since someone mentioned it... can we please have pulling as part of the game again. I never really liked playing a monk personally but in group and raid situations, it really immersed me further into the game know those guys were really using some skill to make it happen. Not to say that...

Sorry.. I meant to further elaborate. I agree with you. I tossed in the DPS deal as an intention to separate that if you are not a tank, you are a DPS. I don't want a Ranger or a Bard that has some type of stance or AA line to suffice as a tank. I'll go even to say that beyond CC I want...

I agree. I like more cut & dry classes. I don't want to build a multi-hybrid character. I want to see a tank, DPS, or healer and yes, I played a healer in EQ and i've always played a healer. Wish I would have stuck it out in FFXIV but after 15 years of healing thought it would be change of...

On a personal level, I hope everything works out for you. I think most of us know the stories (true or not) and I don't think anyone wants to see people in a bad place. Professionally, you still have our attention and it is also with good timing. The industry is pretty frustrating at the...

Brad.. My concern is the push to make things bigger, with a plethora of options, and continuing to push the limits far beyond the initial building blocks of the MMO genre. One aspect I felt Everquest did well was really focus on the simple concepts of D&D/old school RPG's and brought those...

Thanks! I actually figured this out when is logged out of frustration and back in... Haha Ran into a lot of people this morning. Everyone very nice and gave me and a friend of mine quite a bit of stuff. With that being said, I'm not sure what the objective would be if everyone is helpful...

Played again last night. Actually ran into quite a bit of zombies this time. i survived after using some rags but I accidentally fell off some steps and my legs are broke (I guess). I'm crawling around and what sucks i'm completely geared out right now and i'm afraid i'm going to have to die...

I felt like Brick saved this movie. The movie didn't flow well to me. It was if they had the sequel and then decided to throw in all the best AM1 scenes in the last 30 minutes of the movie. Other than that, I felt I got a movie ticket price out of it. If you miss it, it isn't the end of the...

Is there a timeline for all these additions?

My first impression after putting in a hour or so is they simply need more going on. I ran around forever and found nothing. No items or zombies. I ran across a couple of people looting corpses in the middle of the road but just went around them as it was just me and my fists. Interface is...

Downloading now. Had some friends buy it the other day and said they enjoy the game. $29.99 so not too bad if it can provide a couple of months of fun. From what i've read and heard, I was hoping for more than 40 per server. I'm hoping this changes. I haven't played so I could be wrong but...

I just want to know is the world relevant? In MMO's today, the world isn't relevant. What I liked about EQ, at least in the beginning, you had to travel, you had to sell, you did some quests (bat wings, orc belts, whatever), you had an area for an auction, various areas providing means of...

Actually, let me clarify. I was thinking the would throw out a guy in a some really cool looking green/emerald armor holding a fiery sword. Kind of a hype tool, showing a little of the old, revealing the direction of the new kind of thing.

Color me unimpressed thus far but it is just concept art.

So what is the overall consensus of the game? I've been hearing good things lately. I haven't played since beta and early release. Nothing wrong with the game then but it didn't hold my attention. Any major changes or anything that makes it worthwhile?

I received beta key through PCGamer magazine. Want to try it out before I invest. For some reason I have a hard time giving SoE anymore of my money..... :P Who am I kidding though....

Just a side comment on Luclin... It was a least favorite as it felt so far out of place and stretch within the lore for me. Outside of that, I was irritated as a raiding player at the ridiculous amount of HP for mobs. I guess the main idea was to offset this with bane weapons so not only did...
