Is he serious?!? Dave Georgeson on Twitter, "Holy carp! I was just reading some of the coverage of the Debut (for the first time) and...MAN...I want to play that game! Excited again."

People keep throwing out there that EQN is for PvP'ers but until I see that there are purely defined classes with definitive/recognizable roles, i'm not buying into this game. It's just not my cup of tea. How much information do we have on classes and the break on progressing through them? We...

What happened with the panel today? Itemization? Anything positive?

Not at all.. I generalizing somewhat and while I agree with you I also disagree. I think there were some gameplay mechanics that actually enhanced gameplay. I feel that EQ2 did the best with housing and Auction Houses. I loved going through EC, much more than I ever did the Nexus, I think...

This. Let's face it. That market will be scattered throughout EMU's, random MMO's that last for a month, and games like LoL. There's nothing for us out there, well at least nothing tailored, and we just have to accept while our money is still money it just doesn't compare to the money to be...

What would make you think they would announce an EQ3? I understand that EQN and a potential EQ3 would be two very different games but is there enough market to validate making another game? That sounds like a financial exposure that someone like SoE wouldn't be willing to risk.

Wait, what just was said about PvP? I can forgive a lot if the gameplay is good.

Do any of their games pull massive numbers? Will EQNext pull massive numbers? I think we are giving this thing too much credit and I do believe there are enough people who want something a little bit more than what the MMO world is marketing to make it work. I don't think anyone is wanting 12...

Not only will you get brown but multi-levels of brown.

I'm curious just how many people are going to play other MMO's now. I know several of my friends were awaiting EQNext's timeline. It appears to be a long ways off and now that we know what we do, it will be interesting to see how people will try other games just to compare concepts. People...

I'm not necessarily a trinity fan but I like assigned roles. I think it help identifies your character and generates ownership. I guess they'll still have definitive roles but I don't like the whole "your character can do anything" concept. I think they have over complicated things a tad...

Double Post... sorry

No offense but if they don't get some key elements right it doesn't matter. I'm assuming you are speaking in regards of what EQNext is going to expect hardware to consider but I'm going to take this opportunity to say I would rather suffer all the layers and computer upgrades and have a solid...

Here's another problem.... I think Blizzard with all their wealth and power could easily one up this but honestly, I think EQN has set forth such a unique game I don't think anyone will touch it. I think Blizzard is going to come back with a vanilla WoW meets Eve. That's just speculation but...

I hope so too. I really think they've tried too hard to differentiate their game from others. They may want to be cautious to not overlook some key mechanics that I feel are necessity in a MMO. I'm concerned about the trinity. I'm sure there may be other ways but players are going to...

Once Landmark releases, Smed has already stated there would be a 6 month period of building and contests. I would say we'll see the first phase sometime early next year or the top of the year but I really doubt we'll see a EQN release before Fall/Winter '14

I really believe EQ1 was close to having it figured out. You needed a healer but healers ultimately need slowers or cc'ers. Who all needed tanks. Your mana pool needed DPS. In a sense, you be completely efficient in groups and in raids, you needed the pieces of the puzzle. They came in...

I was afraid of this... this is Rift and GW2 all over again. They go in allowing you to be all things to all people which in turns means that encounters will be designed for that system. To me this takes the difficulty way down because you do not have a pure healer, pure tank, pure anything...

I'm sure everyone can identify those symbols and I noticed them in the App but do they relate to EQNext or is it just an Everquest generalization? I couldn't tell how much I should even care about this...

Thanks man.. keep me posted. I'm really curious. I'm probably one of the few die hard EQII people on this board but even I had to walk away from these last couple of expansions. I like where this one is going though. Do we have a guild/server here or maybe recommended?

Maybe this will give everyone a little hope.... Not sure how many of you remember these guys (especially the pirate looking guy which we saw a lot) http://everquest.allakhazam.com/gallery/alphabeta.html

The more I have been reading about the EQ and EQII expansions the more I feel they need to help out the EQNext team. I don't know who or what team helped these games out (and maybe it was because they were announced next to EQNext) but I really feel like the EQ and EQII latest expansions have a...

I don't know.... this seems like the best expansion they've released. Only way I would come back though is if this allowed me to completely bypass the other 2-3 and just let me enjoy this one.

Can we get notes like this stickied? I know Tad gave us a couple of lists as well. Maybe someone even consolidate this to one post. We may need a new post that is just for information where we can post and someone add to the original post then delete ours.

How are raids going to work? I don't see a tank going in, holding aggro, while casters cast essentials spells like slows and debuffs, dps strategically unload, and healers fight to keep you alive. What I see is everyone running in and using AoE spin attacks while making a big hole in the...

I think Georgeson already said that he was wanting more educated, war general type ogres. To me, it looks like an old Chinese elder just turned into the hulk.

I have been seeing a couple of comments about release, beta, etc. What I heard today... Landmarks later this year.. I believe it will released shortly after PS4 and will be DLC like Minecraft was for Xbox. Smed said something about once release it will be 6 months of working with the...

Drakkin's were a race in EQII i'm pretty sure.

I think lore is Sunday but I wanted to see if I followed the sand art.. Apparently dragons wipe out everything and now Norrath is rebuilding. I'm assuming that you have the choice to rebuild Norrath (i.e. take part in progressive portions of the rally quests) or side with those currently in...

Stuff like Rally Calls takes participation... If its not worth the player's time or effort it's going to fail. You have to ensure they are not annoyances as well. Think about all the games that have tried this.. However, I would love to have gone on a raid just to see my house or even city I...

The lion/kerran just doesn't look mean. They kept talking about about how rough and gruff they wanted to make everyone and they put Madagascar in it.

Good stuff Tad.. keep it coming. Is he asking these questions or just reporting?

Sure.. who doesn't. I can give a list of games that I want to believe in. They each possess one thing or another I wish I would have seen today but when it comes down to it, they all lack something that prevents me from playing beyond the first month. I've yet to see anything that can get me...

Wait wait wait... What did they say about PvP?

I agree with this too but we have to face it, we are the minority. Just as I posted earlier, they did what they set out to do. They are taking what current, mainstream MMOs are and attempting to go the next level. They are attempting to take the rinse, wash, and repeat out of MMO's but within...

I was thinking just the opposite. I was feeling if this wasn't EQ we wouldn't have even cared due to other major IP's coming out with some relatively hyped games. I really felt this would have been lost in the shuffle.

Instead of commenting further on what I did or did not see today I want to share a hope. Sitting here watching Lord of the Rings this evening with my family, we were commenting on how you could nearly escape into this world and story. I felt this was true about EQ and Norrath. However they...

Yeah.. Completely understand and agree but I was surprised how little I saw or felt Everquest in Everquet Next. I'm not passing too much judgement yet though. I'm really just commenting on what we know and have seen. I guess I had two things on my mind... VG 2.0 or some Action/Fantasy skinned...
