it was mainly quote from a friend I believe trying to differentiate a former EQ player trying to articulate the difference between these MMO’s that are being discussed among a lot of former EQ players. I think what he meant was MnM is more aligned with what EQ “was” and Ashes is a direction...

I'm going be slightly hypocritical since it was brought up... I've always been a person that has really cared less about graphics as I'm a believer in a good game is a good game. Games like Minecraft, Valheim, and a ton of other games mobile and PC a like have proven its more about an artistic...

Sure its dead or at least in a type of coma that really no one expects them to wake up from but its more about the treatment of the IP itself. I think one of the most popular trends in gaming at the moment has been the remastering of older games. Not that those games were dead in fairness but...

Completely understand and I realize that... still its hard not to say it out loud. It really makes you wonder just how much their parent company is interested in actually leveraging their owned IP's to create a profit. I accepted they were just going to suck the life out of the game as they...

I know I’m speaking into the void but why not learn from THJ’s success at least a little and stop looking so much into timing and expansions but rather actually into bringing some creative adjustments to the game? I’d rather they swing for the fence and it go down in flames than rehashing then...

I had completely forgotten about this game… Wasn’t this started by like two people? Good for them and their team. Maybe it will find a niche.

I'm not suggesting anything of that sort... I'm really just sharing a concern about the flow of available, completed games which is really a more exaggerated issue because your more long-term investment games are not so long term any more. Again, this may be a "me" problem but I have many more...

I think you bring up a major point that I'm sure we are all aware of and is my biggest disappointment of all... there is just really nothing to play. Even WoW for our guild just doesn't keep us entertained very long. We get through normal, then heroic, and quit. The unfortunate piece is...

I really like their team. I don't know if their game will amount to anything but I like their updates, roadmap, and they seem to balance their vision with player feedback well. I don't know a lot about their team but as much as I appreciate Valheim and love their game, I wish more games...

For whatever reason, we fired up D3 again and been playing through the new season. Forgot just how fun it is and how far that game had come over the course of its time. I've been seeing some D4 comments that it has improved quite significantly. We'll complete the D3 season pretty quickly...

Thus far.... do you guys think it's worth the $40-ish listed right now? I've probably invested more for less but heading into some vacation time so looking to kick around on either this or maybe the EQ expansion. I haven't played anything since THJ...

Homage to Vanguard? What a nice gesture... :) #TooMuchBrown

I have always felt that way about FF14 but I think its intentional and also seems to be ok with their primary audience. FF14 is a solo-RPG with MMO elements sprinkled in. That's what I tell myself. They put an unbelievable amount of time and resources into their story (MSQ) and it shows. I'm...

Honest review? Understand its Alpha but I stopped following the game after some of their changes but what would you all say is the theme of the game? Is it an attempt of a modern take on an old school MMO? Is it WoW-esque? I had thought they wanted to be the next evolution of EQ1/EQ2...

Recap of the lore in addition to a pretty thorough review up to this point. Nice catch up video.

I've wondered about the end game. I haven't seen anything but I keep playing early game over and over again. They may not even have an end game yet but I'm curious if they're going to have some open world Vox/Naggy type deals or a PoF/PoH approach where you have an end game zone with bosses...

Really enjoying the game thus far. Game is beautiful. I know there is better but something about the environment and the color choices that really makes this game aesthetically pleasing. Some reviews say not enough encounters and some say not enough puzzles. Personally I think there are some...

Appreciate it! Laurion's Song really felt random and disconnected and then when I saw this expansion it help like they tried to connect to something again. It seems like its totally being ran without any idea of direction.... shame. I always felt like EQ lore was interesting and even underrated.

LOL.... It was probably silly of me to think that EQ had something to even talk about or that everyone had even been keeping with the lore. All EQ has left are some random tangents to speak about.

Maybe I've reached a new level of gaming bordem but what's going on lore-wise here? Are they going back to the planes? Can gods be "murdered"? (Why couldn't I murder some of them in PoP? lol) Anyone keeping up with Live nowadays? I can't even imagine what EQ is like now but at least I knew...

Looking back and now looking into the hopeful future of MMO's, I think a game like Everquest could have done much better in evolving their world to keep max level/long tenured player interested in the content. I'm all for adding new content and there are expansions that I greatly enjoyed but...

Ah the good ol'days.... I can remember running between LGuk and SolB as groups called me up on the waitlist. I would make stops between groups and do rezzes for tips. If you were somewhat competent as a cleric, warrior, or enchanter, just as soon as you would log in, you would start getting...

Just a thought from a conversation I had with some gaming friends today. Maybe you guys will have a reasoning behind it and I'm sure there's several reasons why they haven't taken this approach... Why doesn't EQ sell their "base game" like Valheim (and many other games) and then allow mods and...

Legally, THJ has no leg to stand on. I guess it comes down to how much do they care about the business versus just reaching an "understanding" with people that obviously have a passion for the game. Either way, THJ is going to lose some money out of their pockets but I hope that Daybreak finds...

Business is business but they should probably thank THJ and maybe even hire some of them because they've breathed more life into the game than they have in a long time. There is probably a higher road where both sides could win from this but I'm sure that's no goal of Daybreaks.

I hope the community is being fairly vocal about it as they seem to listen to the masses somewhat but they also get hung up on what they want to do. That's somewhat understandable, it's their sandbox and we're all playing in it but I do think they're going to let significant air out of the...

I don't disagree that post-pop is a big drop off, I'm one of them most of the times, but I think people want to experience all content of EQ through this lens. Good or bad content-wise, their take on EQ, class building, theorycrafting, etc. add a whole other dynamic to consuming content. I...

I'm still enjoying PoP... could be just my nostalgia but I always enjoyed crawling through the planes and smacking the gods. Not sure if I even remember GoD but maybe I stepped back some that expansion but I honestly have no memory of any of the fights so I'm a little optimistic but that makes...

Anyone recommend a guild? Not sure if I'll raid much or not but definitely like to group, dungeon crawl, and work on HQ's.

I'm assuming you must have all the MSQ caught up before starting the Dawntrail MSQ. Just curious since this is the beginning of new storyline if they did something different than other expansions. I'll have to play through it but I believe this is the first that I know where a MMO has said...

Origins is Live! Steps to load the server. You must download a different version of the game (just like choosing the Beta Server) https://www.everquest2.com/news/eq2-anashti-sul-is-live

This is something that is going to have to be handled with a lot of respect of the source material and to the fanbase. Even with the title, people will expect "The Search for More Money" and without the title, it will get panned right out of the gate. I do think Gad is a fanboy of the 80's in...

I don't see it happening either. I know they keep saying "they're hiring" and we've seen some pretty small teams make decent games (Valheim comes to mind) but even with 53 people, they seem fairly inefficient when looking at their expansions and what EQ1/EQ2 has been over the last several...

Pretty good summary of Fippy Fest. Interesting Info and just some confirmation of stuff that's been thrown around for years. Highlights: -- EQ3 not "in-development" but in ideation -- Darkpaw has 53 employees acrosss EQ1/2 -- EQ1 & 2 Expansions Announced -- EQ2 Origins - June 19th at 12 PST --...

I'm looking forward to it even if it is bad or a mess. I'm a sucker for EQ2. Even when it wasn't great, I really enjoyed playing. It was frustrating and I still never understood why they didn't address the core issues of the game, but overall I never felt it deserved the hate it received...

I think this deserves a place…. Pour one out Emotional is an understatement ICQ Shutting Down After 30 Years

Looks like we could get an announcement tomorrow or sometime this week... Cannot wait! https://x.com/Valheimgame/status/1789999905215246473

MMO's were an answer to a dream of those who lived in a different time. Most of our experiences in RPGs and living out fantasy storylines took place either through tabletop games, consoles, and eventually in much smaller worlds/interactions such as Diablo. As those experiences progressed and...
