Back on Antidote... we have a camp or anything organized at the moment? Friend and I are camping outside of Pleasant Valley for now. We raided the Police Station this morning with some PUG's and actually won. Good times.

I actually do not agree with a lot of this.... I loved the way EQII looked for the most part. Some of the character graphics and animations were lacking but the world was much more to my preference than WoW. I just thought WoW had much better raids than EQII. I liked the UI, their housing...

I would like to see a sequel to EQ and not something in the "universe". EQII was alright once it hit the right mark (somewhere in the Hartsman era) but we need something that connect to the Sleeper or PoT. There has to be a good angle that can be taken from Norrath post one of the memorable...

Not really big picture but i'm just talking about it from their perspective. You have this company, it's idle at best, and if you want to get a little excitement and make it appear like you actually know what you have now, they need to do something. I was just thinking, EQ and EQII just...

I think right now would be a perfect time for TLP server or some type of classic/progression server. Just to generate a little bit of momentum and energy. EQII needs something... why they keep moving forward and leaving so much unaddressed i'll never understand

What happened to Pantheon's videos and updates? Thought they were monthly?

Me and couple of RL friends on a PvE server just trying to get familiar with everything and get crafting down. I can say this, PvE is pretty boring but I can't believe how much you can do with a base. Just walking around people are really figuring out how to leverage different elevations and...

Best leaders are the one who get the most out of their people and everyone comes in wanting to do well for them. It's the ones who know, or think they know, everything are the ones who stifle their employees and make the work environment a literal hell. My first job was writing automation...

Can we please stop doing this to ourselves. It's not just SoE but the entire MMO industry loves to string you along with hype images and videos (which are completely staged) and then derail to reality. It's depressing.

Don't tempt me... i'm a sucker for EQII. I just like leveling up and doing the whole housing thing but once I level to a point and get to my 100th hotbar, I remember very quickly why I burnout so quickly. I would give anything if they could address their abilities and get Nagafen back in...

Not to bring up any political stances but remember when SNL and everyone was making fun of Bush endorsing McCain and how it was political "kiss of death"? Well... this is about the same thing. If I was Holly I would distance myself from Georgeson as much as possible and make some changes as...

I nearly suggested that earlier but not sure she is ready for that quite yet being her first couple of days on her new job. lol

I don't know how PoP was my favorite expansion because when I think back to the misery it put me through, I don't understand how I just didn't break things or just quit playing all together. Somehow or another, we had a blast through the whole thing. Stuff that comes to mind... Rathe...

Not sure what she can do with EQ/EQ2 at this point but I would love to know her plans. They need to take a look backwards and make some major changes. There's little hope of probably any of us playing either game again but I would sub and kick around time to time if they would change just a...

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...
