I believe they feel as if they have the attention of those who matter already. They understand the power of word of mouth right now. They have a large portion of the MMO community wondering. MMO's have never really made huge efforts in marketing. Outside of WoW, you never see MMO's using any...

Would be pretty amazing that the game had been in development and ready for testers next week without any more than a few pictures making it out the door. Makes you wonder just how long they'll hold on to a NDA. Playing so closely to the vest is really going to force people to want to share...

Since we are just throwing out all this speculation... I did run into a source not long ago that is typically in the know and he did mention that it had made it to his circle that SoE was very much wanting a Nov/Dec release. We both agreed that this was far fetched but he did say they were...

Looking for details on instanced and non-instanced. I'm assuming they'll offer both but i'm concerned how instancing (if exists) meshes with a sandbox game.

That seems common. It makes sense too that boxers would go where they wouldn't be pestered by others or just so they can be to themselves and act at their own pace. Most of the people that I know that box seem to be very cordial in regards to not holding down popular exp spots.

I know there are plenty of boxers but I still never fail to find groups. Very rarely have I made contact with a boxer but that's because I know where they are and typically hunt where groups hunt. I did run into a guy who parked his alt outside of the group for some buffs in HHK but that's...

Kobolds.. whatever... give me a snake race (no legs) that can learn a kick ability. Then we are talking!

I miss these sites... even the look of them bring back memories.. Before everything was Wordpress and Joomla, fansites had their own look. I hope EQNext bring back the need for informative sites. Who knows, maybe guild sites and forums will make a comeback too.

Some mentioned a few pages back about the lack of PvP info. Somewhere in EQII's life I really enjoyed and have been pretty much converted to a PvP guy but honestly, I just want a good game. I don't like PvP-lite rulesets that many games boast or do I think anyone that has claimed to be a...

How much are expecting to see at SoE Live right now? I noticed their schedule and i've heard the hype but just how far a long are they in development? To me, I better see pretty much everything with all that's being publicized at this point. I'm even to the point I think they should give away...

Najena was my first corpse recovery when joining the Mac server. I fell through the floor, ended up in the cell, and absolutely fought until it was just too much to handle. It took a group effort to even get remotely close and finally a friendly high level druid came by and assisted us. I...

Awesome... didn't know there was an event. Special loots of any kind?

I think every idea and concept has already been hashed out and i'm sure after August 2nd we'll probably revisit them a million more times but what time frame is everyone really anticipating in terms of beta and release? I've head everything from this Christmas, EQ's anniversary, all the way...

Is the PC beta going on right now as well? Would like to play some before release. Last phase too right? I have completely lost track of everything this summer...

This is my concern.... I've played to about the same on the same class a couple of times just because i'm a big lancer/dragoon fan but, I haven't foreseen the fun or felt a direction. I will say this, I feel like it captures the essence of a MMO more so than anything i've played (especially at...

I look at it like this... if everything is static, pre-planned, and linear in terms of progression that going away from the idea of a sandbox. When you can step outside of the norm and take various paths without impacting others who are independently making choices and taking paths of their...

Sure, why I also don't fault EQ for losing everyone when WoW came out (and I also do not credit WoW as much as some either). Eventually people just get their taste. EQ had developed enough wear and tear not to mention a lot of frustration for many. Not say that WoW wasn't good but in all...

And running an instance or PvP battleground 100 times to get some currency to walk up to a vendor and just buy whatever you want is any better? I think you essentially put in the same time doing meaningless tasks to accomplish something without any creativity. WoW, EQ2, SWTOR, Rift, etc. all...

Great points Qwerty indeed and I liked the CT example. You're right in saying there are others, i'm sure we can think of a plethora of examples all very similar. The funny part in all of this is thinking back to what you had when you played EQ for the first time. No twinking gear, probably...

I hope people don't flock to the Xbox One because I believe you'll see their ways creep back in slowly. I noticed in an interview today, believe it was Balmer, said they felt the original policies will still work in this digital age but are doing this in reaction to their community outcry...

I never bought that logic.... it's not a tedious time sink. It's the penalty, process, or even mechanic I guess... Remember those games when you were a kid that if you messed up you had to start all over again? To win, you had to be flawless, no room for mistake because if you messed up, you...

You have to consider when these sites award this kind of stuff the traffic they get from it. It's a smart play and i'm not saying EQNext doesn't deserve it but, it's the one game no one has seen and people wonder why you're giving it an award.

What happens is, speaking from my Software days, people get moved back to their projects or moved on to other projects, and they begin hiring principle positions. I would assume either someone is being moved or possibly just taking another job. It's possible a lot of people were moved to...

That kinda looks like Brad with shaggy hair on the far right with Smed talking.... In regards to the title, I bet they end up dropping the "Next" part at some point and just referring to it as Everquest. They'll brand the current EQ as Everquest Classic or some other type of branding.

Yeah... people can say what they want about EMU's and Mac being Luclin and PoP but no one even comes close to it. It is the only bit of EQ we have left in my opinion. If you really want that true feeling and with the EQ community this is it. I hope you can continue to play on your PC and yes...

You can play on a PC if you like. A lot of people don't like it or recommend it but, if it holds you over until you get what you need then big deal. I play on a 5 year old MacBook Pro and it runs very well.

It's really not that big of a deal in EQMac. I've been playing for months now and run into it casually. They mostly are just leveling alts in certain places of the game and that's it. Even if you do run into it, they let you tag along and get some levels, they share buffs, and you move along...

I don't know, maybe I haven't played these types of games enough, well what I consider FPSMMO but, I thought it looked pretty solid. I have been thinking about what would be my natural progression from CoD and Halo, this seemed like the next step. I have only seen what was demonstrated during...

Sounds great... will look for ya. Keep an eye out for MGB's and just general giveaways in PoK. Really helps get back into things as you don't have to worry about dying quite as easily.

The Division or Destiny? I can't really figure out who has the best grasp on the next step from CoD/Halo... I really like Halo/2 and CoD4 and really never thought they captured the magic since them. Will The Division and Destiny focus on PvP?

They would really impress me if they came out either the same day as PS4 or Christmas. I really don't think they will or do I think its wise without some pretty extensive beta testing. I would feel good about next Spring but I'm thinking next Fall isn't out of the question as well. I believe...

I'd say they go for March 16th..... its the anniversary and they should do some type of crazy events and so forth. I can't believe i'm actually debating on ordering this for the PS4. I just can't wait for pre-orders period.

You know, since I played the first Smash I have begged and wished for Mega Man and it's finally here. When I was in college a friend and I use to do a lot of tournaments and have some of the most dorm fun with these games. I can think of Halo and Smash being the game that brought everyone...

That's the only saving grace for Nintendo. New Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid, etc. will bring people to buying the game. I can see a Christmas purchase in the future for our family now with the game lineup though our son does have a 3DS and he may stick with that seeing most of the games are...

Are they still withholding the Smash Bros. video???

I was just thinking what it was like a few years back with the console war and I bought the first PS3 in my town and turn around and sold it for $950. I bought a XBOX360 and a Wii with the money. Think they'll have any of that this time around? I will be going to Gamestop tomorrow and our...

I want to PvP..... that is all. I cannot even think of a meaningful memory of my days of D1 that doesn't involve PvP'ing. Yeah, a bit more story and PvE'ing in D2 but even in D2 I PvP'd a lot. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but to me it's part of the game.

It seems that the PS4 is making a pretty sizable wave on the forums and with the showcasing of MMO's on the PS4, how many of us will be using the PS4 for not only our casual console gaming but casual/hardcore MMO gaming? Confirmed MMO's: DCUO PS2 ESO FFXIV D3 (if that counts as a MMO)...

I'll be pre-ordering soon. I will also be ordering NBA2K14, Destiny, and possibly EQNext. I'm not quite sold on how I feel about MMO's and consoles though FFXIV beta has made me think twice.

Anyone gonna try Gamestop or have some insider on previous generation console trade in values?
