I wonder WTF daybreak is doing? I mean, did they just buy those shit sandwiches to sit on them and milk them dry? Or are they actually going to step up and produce and publish some shit other than "expansions" I still think the entire EQ name and all of its lore has some definite value.

And 250K the week after that, after everyone finished the noob area. and saw the rest of the game was nothing like that. lol

wow is on its own graph its numbers were so staggering at the time, lol.

^^ I agree. I recently rolled up on FV server, bought 3 mill plat from selling a krono and outfitted my dudes with some velious/kunark/Luclin era raid grear. What a blast. (Later repalced with defiant gear at like lv 50+ which is like raid gear, lol) IMO EQ is best played with a box team these...

Actually I tend to believe those initial numbers than the downstream ones. They always publish box sales, but dont delve deeply into numbers as time goes on.

Well MMO, means Massive Multiplayer Online.Lots of people palying online game. Which is exactly what Destiny is. Maybe you mean MMORPG? The problem comparing the two is its like comparing Apples and Oranges. Destiny is a console game limited by shitty old consoles when they made it, like...

I should try this now that I have all access x3 from EQ. I have not played since launch and didnt give it much of a chance.

Yup, I agree. He was playing a defensive reactionary game rather than a well thought out offense. Again, new engine, more QoL changes for their bread and butter, EQ would of went a long way to keep those 200K-250K and maybe even expand a bit. The entire EQ2 was just a mistake IMO. Also wow was...

Not 2015 but 2005-2006, right about the time Wow and EQ2 came out. Look at EQ2 numbers too, they went up to almost 350K and then also took a header right about the time WoW hit shelves. It just goes to my theory that EQ2 did nothing but hurt them in the long run, they were just switching...

I still use IS Boxer. I dont have it configured like some people, just run it standard but its nice to be able to at least set up a few hotkeys to be pushed from your main account and the fast switching between accounts is nice too. But I ran boxes before with jsut using windows and It wasnt...

Edit: Totally agree with the above, @Vinjin . they sure did squander the EQ thing over the years for sure. They should of took a page from WoWs book and took a hard look at what they were doing. But at that point they had EQ2 to worry about too. (I will never know why create a game that...

And in reality, its what should of been in the first place back in 2000. It makes the game a lot more enjoyable. Old school EQ was a masochistic nightmare. Its still a pretty tough game(as in npc strength vs players) compared to modern wow clones.

I dont know the guy, but it does not seem like hes a boxer. Hes in modern progression playing with RL people. And sadly thats one of the problems with EQ. Its just tired and old engine that they have added so much over the years its just a bloated mess. Just look at his hot bars, filled with AA...

Never played H1Z1, but played the shit out of Destiny, and yeah I would definitely consider that a mmorpg, although a light one. Classes, leveling, story, quests, shit to grind, group dungeon instances, raids, PvP instances unique items to acquire including gear sets. I mean its not WoW in...

But all mcdonalds taste the same.

Yeah, I dont know. I dont work in the game industry, im just a gamer, like most of you are. And all I can see in his tenure at sony is him buying 989 and everquest and riding that thing into the ground, along with the other failures he has made since. EQ2? mild sucess than Fail, Vanguard? Fail...

I loved the PvP instances in WoW and the open world PvP skirmishes you would get into while leveling,shit I even remeber raiding the main cities, that was always cool. But that dint last long. Soon after vanilla and tbc the open world PvP was pretty much dead. Everything else to me was meh...

I personally dont think so, but opinions, right? The game just felt like one big spreadsheet. Early on at least there was some charm to things, but then they went and normalized everything, and continued to normalize the shit out of that game until its nothing more than a lobby game at this point.

I think were seeing the resurgence of EQ era type MMOs. Especially with the lack of anything new and revolutionary on the horizon. I think people are sick of the wow clones for the past ecade. Its apparent on EQ live, many are coming back, P99 with a huge following and also the wildly popular...

Technically it was a better game, plus it was way easier on the masses, no downtime, easy path to 60, solo to boot. Etc... But it also had a lot of the soul of EQ era MMO missing.

Might not be a bad thing, really. everyone needs a fucking break here and watch some minecraft vids.

Definitely better for the industry for sure. Intel has been nothing-burgering fr the better part of the last 6 yrs with their "10%" better bullshit from gen to gen. Maybe now this will fore them to really step up their game.

Sadly this is the truth. Too bad.

This thread is turning mighty gay, where is the mod-rod?

I totally agree with this. They have over 17 yrs of content they could redo, add to, refresh, and add back in to the prog servers.They did cool shit in the past like revamp dungeons for different levels for short times, or the whole Fabled stuff every march, etc... Plus they know exactly what...

Well when you have over 15K-20K, depending on class from lv 51-105, thats a shit ton of AAs to grind out, lol. Thank god for auto granting. There is no way to catch up if your halting regular level progression every 5 levels or 10 to grind out a few thousand AAs just to stay ahead of the content.

LoY gave us Dulaks harbor, cryptr of Nadox, Gulf of gunthak, a few other places, and a few raids, really small expansion, Frogs, which IMO is one of the most ugliest races ever. Ldon gave us those instanced dungeons that would randomly generate per your level, it also gave us augments and...

This fucking game was so magical and addictive back then. I got my first PC at home around 1999 and my wife bought me this shit for Xmas. it was literally my first PC game. It was a dream come true for a hardcore RPG addict from the console days of SNES and PS1. It was like a hardcore RPG with...

^^ Thats right, I forgot about the bonus. Yeah it was a bonus before the auto grant of today. BTW you can turn auto grant off or on if you like to do it the old school way, but im not sure why you ever would. Yeah, on live my 93ish box crew have pretty much auto-granted about 8000-9000 AA...

This is huge and it was never intended to be this way with how our system was set up. It was always supposed to be people stepping into gov from the pivate sector, doing their just time in the public sector, then stepping back out to public sector and continuing their regular business/whatever...

Headshot, SK swarming, Decapitate, Bard Swarming and others were all neutered back in 2014, well before Daybreak bought SoEs shit. About the same time they started auto-granting AAs. Ranger had a spell which would send a ton of arrows, the hail of arrows line, so this allowed multiple head...

Like I said I would like to see some more tuning to post velious stuff, like luclin. Hardly ever went there. Adding in some more ports in luclin even to some velious stuff like he did for vanilla and kuanrk. Some of those luclin places are a pain in the ass to get to lugging around 4 toons so I...

Me too. I hit 65, tried to do some PoP stuff, did the first tier unlocks the PoJ trial thing, got into second tier and it was a big jump. And not having a shaman to slow is tearing a new asshole in my tank. Tried to do velious raids but could not do it with my 4 box, so there really is nothing...

Yet you just cant keep your fingers off of touching all of us in the anus, can you?

Looks like a raid equipped 1% SK (Which is pretty much what this dude is) with full barrage of buffs doing group content. So lets nerf all SK. I sure as hell cant do that on my group geared SK. Granted its silly, but come on. Hey I just learned that raid geared toons make group content trivial...

Eh, aggro was never an issue with SK, pop one aggro spell maybe 1- 2 times a fight if you see aggro meter getting yellow. If multiple mobs SKs have a few AA that does AE type aggro. This is of course coming from a boxing setup with Ranger, Shaman as other boxes along with caster DPS and healer...

SK and ENC just got huge nerfs on Test. Test Update 02/08/2017 - Patch Notes and Discussions | EverQuest Forums

LOL, Funcom, never change.

I for one welcome the similarity to EQ. Its been like almost 20 yrs since EQ hit back in late 90s. And most of the 2Ks up till present day were filled with garbage McWoW clones. Maybe the whole EQ type experience should be revisited with a modern more streamlined twist, dont you think? I do.

It could be the other way around too, if they were duds, wed be heraing about it too. I have a feeling its all hyped up AMD type shit like they always do. Like they did with their Bulldozers, Pyledrivers or their latest the RX480 which was supposed to be like a 1070 but for $150 cheaper. Well...
