Damn, some of you people are simple minded as fuck. 'I had hopes for EQN but no trinity means it will suck for sure'! Because no one can design a better system than GW2 did. It's not humanly possible!! There is no fucking way that just because it isn't a rigid trinity system that there can't be...

Yeah, pots isn't a big deal and it sounds like similar to everything else which isn't a bad thing for his audience. I wouldn't believe pots to be a huge issue for a fan base but I've seen those fans in action. I almost pity Brad but he wanted them and he got them.

Quaid, I really like it. Are the Goliaths something similar to the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus? Or would there be some Goliaths similar? That sounds like a somewhat close approximation and I loved that game. I love the gear based system. I remember spending massive amounts of time on EQ...

There are a lot of options for this kind of environment. Maybe make it a collection game where you can accumulate gear but if you die, you lose it all and start back as a naked shit with just bank gear avail.You could have the limit set at 4 items and leave in 8 as an 'elite gamer' option. Throw...

I hang to the left so I hope my 'beast' in game has left sided strength... Seriously, your game idea sounds really awesome. I'd play it

Yep, because when a long time employee of SOE is talking about EQ, he's really just talking about Blizzard products. Because he really doesn't have a clue about SOE products at all.

Grim, Most of us don't have any problems with Convo and his championing of this game. I have a problem with the way Brad has performed especially when people like Convo try their hardest to support the loser. Some of us are also championing games that are much more likely to actually get made...

I think most people have already played the single player Bethesda games. I think that's the sole reason this game has a market. The PvE is pretty awful but not much different than most MMOs at this point. I wouldn't call most MMOs made in the past decade innovative and that probably is true in...

Convo, I think this is exactly where people differ in their opinions from you. Some of the shit we were expecting doesn't need funding to be shown. There is a lot of the work that a dedicated and passionate team can do without lots of funding. The problem is that no real work was done until...

They can demand anything they want. They won't get a penny back though. As you said, no financial accountability and that's just the way it should be.

Same here.

I personally want to give a shit about story again but which setting needs less background story? Bunch of racial starting cities with a rich tradition, or coming back to a continent your ancestors fled with no knowledge of what it's like? I personally love the ideas this team has put forth...

This just shows you haven't been following this game. This isn't EQ re-skinned. For the storyline they have created, the EQ2 set-up of a starting island is far superior New players and alts can start at the rebuilt racial cities. Unless they change the story(very doubtful), starting cities make...

EQL is telling players exactly what they are doing. SOE is being blunt and very open about goals and what is happening. Now, this may not fit the easy, generic hate of the past decade but it's time to let go. New game, better results lately, and a new direction.

I also think this game should be released in maybe 3 months. They are fixing issues but more issues remain than I'd be comfortable with out of a major release. Unless, the true focus is on the console release. Since the bar on original content hasn't been raised, it should run really well out of...

Glad I'm not the only person who basically hates this season. Still watch it because it's just 20 minutes of crap but there's been very little funny over the entire season. Some earlier episodes were weak in generally fairly strong seasons but this has been almost total shit every episode. Time...

Fox usually makes some pretty poor decisions. If it wasn't for the regurgitated slop they've kept forever, Fox would probably be fighting for NBC for last place. Dads, Rake and several other newer shows didn't have near the ratings of AH. They love killing good shows.

I'd watch that. Is Tara Reid in it?

Damn, maybe that's why my wife doesn't ask for my help with puzzles.

Booze, I'm fucking pissed I haven't heard anymore about your Groupquest game! Fucking getting to be like your hero Brad McQuaid or something. Next thing I know, you'll just leave and expect me to pay $15 monthly for the privilege of your insights. On other thoughts, those maps look nothing...

The map is well done and while some of the names sound a bit generic, it still really looks nice. I completely disagree that it looks much different than before though. Nicer, indeed. Different? I don't see it. I think the land area is exactly what a small game needs for the early stages. We...

Got a key and thanks!

I don't think it will be hugely difficult but I'm hoping for it to be at least as difficult as Vanilla was in 2004. I think they want to up the difficulty closer to EQ and the trends really do allow them to initially push this. It really is up to the player-base though. No surprise there. We can...

Great post after a bunch of great posts on here. Do some fucking work and we'll judge based off said work. Do jack shit and get called for it every time. Frenzic, Couldn't agree more about the management comment and I thought Brad mentioned them getting one? That's my question you can...

Usually, when you want back-pay, you have something to show for it. Usually, when even ONE person is working on something for 6 months, they can figure out how their primary funding source works while also having some basic concepts, artwork, etc fleshed out. Sure, if I was a scam artist, I'd...

Why would they rearrange content for the WoW PvP type players? The guys that can't handle that hard 7 hours to get to content they like? So, that they can then complain about the game being an everything for everyone game while they push for exactly that kind of game? The complaint that PvE for...

I have to agree with this. Whining about having to waste a few hours from a hardcore MMO forum is pretty stupid. If the PvP is worth it, it's worth it right? Starting at level one feeds the WoW crowd who needs instant gratification. I just don't see any other way of putting it. If you really...

I'm with mkopec on this. Their site even says Brad is in FULL ON development mode and that last video by Nuthugger 101 mentioned they had a FULL ON business meeting with snacks! I don't know what you haters are spouting about but this is huge! Brad has never let us down and his FULL ON concepts...

I'm in the same situation. Haven't really put a lot in during the last 10 days and it's time I starting getting those templates ready.

Nice to have in this thread. I don't know the strategy going forward on starting cities but prefer the original concept of actually having to move 'the war machine' to the original site, winning a battle, and then rebuilding the city. Hopefully, building will be similar to EQL and people have...

I find SOE is being innovative with Storybricks and is going to improve on innovative games that have come before. EQL is a vast improvement on minecraft and the supposed future focus on exploration hasn't been seen in at least a decade. The rebuilding a world push in EQN hasn't been attempted...

I think you will be pleasantly surprised in a few years.

Yeah, EQN is going to be amazing. I'd love to see how much they allow the players to rebuild after retaking ancestral homes. It sounds like a lot and nothing could make me happier.

First, that is the worst example of focused I've ever seen professionally attempted in any field. Seriously. 6+ months for this? What's the timeline? 2025? Vanguard had some really awesome ideas. Loved a couple classes and the dungeons were better than average overall. Unfortunately, the GAME...

Really good post and the crux of this argument. No one truly knows what an old EQ style game could garner in interest. There is plenty of circumstantial evidence that could go either way. The only true evidence right now is that no one is trying to make an old style EQ game. I include this group...

At least Bard and Archer of Love are now verified. Thanks Booze!

Yeah, my old sig needed changed and bob inspired me with his feverous defense of the unseen. I might have converted if only I had seen one miracle! Maybe a combat doc or some other outlandish craziness.

We are pretty sure the underlined statement is always going to be true. What we want is the juicy crazy that comes with being an apprentice developer. Frenzic, can you provide our entertainment for the foreseeable future? It pays nothing and has few benefits but at least you aren't paying us to...

Quaid, I'll make a deal with you. How about you be our insideCHAMPIONand when Brad finds that angel investor...you just show your superior amount of work put in and steal the guy? You can call yourself Brad Quaid and say the lost letters in your last name ensures that you are a better leader...

Definitely interested now. That's a lot of work! Can I write your first novel or novella?
