In regards to the character art and expressions, they do look much better in the game and in context. It is very Dreamwork/Pixar but the girl really looked great within the game. I'm not going to stress so much about but another concern I have with Georgeson is that he loves gimmics. See...

How much of that combat was real though? I'm telling myself that everything was done just to show off ability that Georgeson thought was cool. Surely it won't be so action game heavy.

Ok.. I've digested this long enough so here we go. First, the major point, I really believe they are striving to achieve what EQ1 with this game. Honestly, I think they are taking the right steps. Judging by what's popular mainstream, this game is a step beyond what those games are doing...

Why does it seem to me that EQ1 and EQ2 may give a better showing than EQNext. I hope not... EQ1 ... Plane of War and offering nostalgia based story lines (they have Brad on the team so his brain may be useful after all) seems like a great plan EQ2 ... An expansion based on well-known EQ...

The theme music if beautiful, cinema quality, but there is not one note that takes you back to Everquest. As others have said, EQ has a very recognizable theme song that really shouldn't be changed. I think that was one thing about EQII's music is that you found bits of Everquest's music in...

You know.. I didn't even think of that until now. Do they have no standards? You're on the cover of TV Guide, in Time Magazine, and claim to be the cream of the crop and that was the most classless, poor showing of a company I have ever seen. Again, there's a place for this kind of stuff and...

Does anyone from SoE read these forums? I know its the first night but I think I can give them a little bit of insight of how not to look like sideshow.

The score is cool and everything but I don't hear "Everquest"

Seriously.. EQN is really leaning towards Free Realms. That's what i'm feeling.

No... No... No.. I would love for someone to bring that to my desk. I would have fired pretty much everyone and anyone within 100 ft of my office.

Is PlanetSide 2 really that good? I'm sorry, I really just didn't even give it a look this year or have I read much about it.

It's cool they are doing stuff for their more dedicated players. Heck, some of these guys are probably really talented and kudos to them but you don't do this on a main stage on the first night. You bring out heads of the company, play a bunch of nostalgia and then tease the heck of what you...

Boogie2988 wannabe...

Ok... i've spent a big part of my life in the eastern tip of Kentucky and i've seen better scripted, organized programs at a county fair.

They really know how to create the appropriate atmosphere for this event.

Enter Sandman... really? I guess i'm back at my high school parking lot in the 90's. Seriously.. i'm just complaining because its the only thing to do while we have a "begin shortly.." screen.

Yeah.. why in the world are we not getting some cool EQ Music or something. I'm already losing faith. I like the small details covered when it comes to stuff like this...

I personally don't expect a 2013 release but do you think we'll get a date or will they go for the usual Q#? release as a target date. I hate when they say something like a Q4 release... give me a month and a year.

I'm not a huge fan of Georgeson personally but I think it is primarily result of bad timing. It appeared to those of us (the few of us) that really played EQ2, by all appearances, Georgeson seemed to be the downfall of a game that was finally beginning to take shape. Everyone loved Scott...

I've always enjoyed this community and I'm hoping that others either revitalize or resurrect with EQNext. I think that is one thing I miss most of all in MMO's are the various communities that were created outside of the game. We'll talk more about it i'm sure after the announcement and...

I'm assuming it's all PST correct?

I do have another quest that I think was addressed some time ago... We know this is an alternate or parallel timeline/universe but just how familiar will the zones be to the long time player? We will going to see the same starting cities and zone progressions? Or are we going to just see...

Yup.. I was just saying that EQ probably feels if their Facebook and Twitter is working well and they have decent hype among their fans, they probably are not too concerned with marketing. They pretty much have all the major social meeting outlets founded. I'm sure they'll be in magazines and...

I believe they feel as if they have the attention of those who matter already. They understand the power of word of mouth right now. They have a large portion of the MMO community wondering. MMO's have never really made huge efforts in marketing. Outside of WoW, you never see MMO's using any...

Would be pretty amazing that the game had been in development and ready for testers next week without any more than a few pictures making it out the door. Makes you wonder just how long they'll hold on to a NDA. Playing so closely to the vest is really going to force people to want to share...

Since we are just throwing out all this speculation... I did run into a source not long ago that is typically in the know and he did mention that it had made it to his circle that SoE was very much wanting a Nov/Dec release. We both agreed that this was far fetched but he did say they were...

Looking for details on instanced and non-instanced. I'm assuming they'll offer both but i'm concerned how instancing (if exists) meshes with a sandbox game.

That seems common. It makes sense too that boxers would go where they wouldn't be pestered by others or just so they can be to themselves and act at their own pace. Most of the people that I know that box seem to be very cordial in regards to not holding down popular exp spots.

I know there are plenty of boxers but I still never fail to find groups. Very rarely have I made contact with a boxer but that's because I know where they are and typically hunt where groups hunt. I did run into a guy who parked his alt outside of the group for some buffs in HHK but that's...

Kobolds.. whatever... give me a snake race (no legs) that can learn a kick ability. Then we are talking!

I miss these sites... even the look of them bring back memories.. Before everything was Wordpress and Joomla, fansites had their own look. I hope EQNext bring back the need for informative sites. Who knows, maybe guild sites and forums will make a comeback too.

Some mentioned a few pages back about the lack of PvP info. Somewhere in EQII's life I really enjoyed and have been pretty much converted to a PvP guy but honestly, I just want a good game. I don't like PvP-lite rulesets that many games boast or do I think anyone that has claimed to be a...

How much are expecting to see at SoE Live right now? I noticed their schedule and i've heard the hype but just how far a long are they in development? To me, I better see pretty much everything with all that's being publicized at this point. I'm even to the point I think they should give away...

Najena was my first corpse recovery when joining the Mac server. I fell through the floor, ended up in the cell, and absolutely fought until it was just too much to handle. It took a group effort to even get remotely close and finally a friendly high level druid came by and assisted us. I...

Awesome... didn't know there was an event. Special loots of any kind?

I think every idea and concept has already been hashed out and i'm sure after August 2nd we'll probably revisit them a million more times but what time frame is everyone really anticipating in terms of beta and release? I've head everything from this Christmas, EQ's anniversary, all the way...

Is the PC beta going on right now as well? Would like to play some before release. Last phase too right? I have completely lost track of everything this summer...

This is my concern.... I've played to about the same on the same class a couple of times just because i'm a big lancer/dragoon fan but, I haven't foreseen the fun or felt a direction. I will say this, I feel like it captures the essence of a MMO more so than anything i've played (especially at...

I look at it like this... if everything is static, pre-planned, and linear in terms of progression that going away from the idea of a sandbox. When you can step outside of the norm and take various paths without impacting others who are independently making choices and taking paths of their...

Sure, why I also don't fault EQ for losing everyone when WoW came out (and I also do not credit WoW as much as some either). Eventually people just get their taste. EQ had developed enough wear and tear not to mention a lot of frustration for many. Not say that WoW wasn't good but in all...
