Speaking of getting in touch with the larger, old-school guilds do we have any posters from AL, Triton, DROW, LoS, etc? Further more.. how about old EQ Fansites? Druid's Grove? Heck I can't even remember all of the class specific sites or other sites I used.

Brad curious if you see players initially working towards armor sets and possibly epic weapons per class? Somewhat of a nod to what EQ offered via PoH and PoF? I really grew bored of running an instanced set of dungeons in more recent MMO's to complete some currency that allowed me to purchase...

There he is! Welcome.

Not really one of my top concerns but I have been curious yours or others opinions on auctions houses and how that has progressed from EC Tunnels. What do you feel has been done right? I personally like what EQII did as they tied it to your house or guild hall. I personally always wanted to...

To comment on some of the "off-topic" posts... I'm not sure what is reminding me of EQ more. Pantheon of these posts. It's beginning to feel like old times already.

Thanks for the info. Sorry I somehow overlooked Ben. I guess I expected a bit more exposure but i'll assume he is handling more official releases to bigger entities for the sake of getting the word (kickstarter) out. However, if he gets some time, tell him to stop by and meet everyone so we...

Brad, You mentioned this was a lot for 10 guys to handle. Not to get too personal or deep but i'm not understanding the internal structure here? I've done a lot of consulting, programming, tech work in general pro bono but these guys have left games and not to mention being their...

I'm currently in for $100.00. May go up to $250.00 but still debating on how much I invest. Still waiting on a few questions to be answered.

Several asked about this so... QFT Excerpt from KS site update:

He just seems so cold and emotionless most of the time. They need to make sure that guy just does his job and find other with a more positive bedside manner. I don't know the guy personally or anything but if you are looking to "sell" something, get the guys that are salesmen. I really think...

Also, did Brad comment on how contributing multiple amounts will work? Say we give $45 then give more or even give each month? Will this or can this build?

To me.. this is the hurdle. Someone also mentioned that before, Brad was one of us. Brad wanted to make something that was a dream. Something we all dreamed about playing RPG's, D&D, etc. There was so much more working in the development favor of EQ and it was all something "we" wanted to...

I'll be first to say i'm changing my tune a little bit realizing how much of the KS was generic or "stock" if you will. Someone earlier actually linked the assets in the Unity store if you are interested. I'm not saying that any Joe Schmo could go out and create or re-create what they did on...

That's all "stock" crap if you will.... I'm with you though. Someone needs to go ahead and get that stuff out before it sticks in our minds. Someone mentioned earlier about leaving in all the assets from the store. That kind of bugged me as well but I know they were trying to depict their...

Honestly, I think people just enjoy this as much as they do the game. Sadly, because its the closest thing they (we) have to those good ole days. I'm not talking EQ either but in early MMO's, people top to bottom talked. That's how Fan Fair and Blizzcon came to be. They discovered that we...

Alright.... what's the guild name? I'm ready for Alpha, Beta, or something :P Anyone remember last day of beta on EQ? Didn't they spawn Inny or maybe a giant orc. Sad I can't remember. EQ beta was a blast though. Still reading everything and going to sleep on this before I write my...

Another little item to throw out while i'm on a break... Please Brad, no cut scenes. Just text and Quest Journals. I don't care how well done they are it takes me out of the game and interrupts the fluidity of the gameplay.

What I was thinking.. I can see the level 1 spammage. I'm sure though they'll take means to control the f2p community as it will be the great exposure for revolving door players. Dormant accounts, players that try and leave for eternity, could also be leveraged in some way. That's neither...

So glad it is Mac & PC. I'm the IT Director of a School District and we are pretty much all Apple so I have to personally stay up on Apple just to make life easier. (My gaming computer is a custom build PC so don't stone me yet) However, I spend a lot of after hours at work and have to do...

Can we get their gaming or forum names as well please just in case they hide behind some other names. I want to make sure I am disgruntle at the right people. :P

You beat me to it.... I hate you. 2017 seems so far away. haha

Interesting an EQ Next dev on the team. Also, did you guys see the female character look just like AB from EQII? Going to review more once I get home from work. I'll definitely be giving $100+ to this just because I like what I hear. I have no monthly subscription right now so why not.

KS please before I freak out... (really just wanted an excuse to use this somewhere)

Looking at those games for some reason made me want a MMO set in the Quest for Glory (probably QFG2) world. I heard they did release a remake of 1 and 2. I always really enjoyed those games and it seemed that entire Sierra catalog was just let to gather dust.

Understood... that was more of an attempt at humor than anything.

Yeah... Keeping caught up and filtering the good from bad comments should be nightmarish. We may have to create sub-forums. Maybe "Development Discussion" "Trolling" and "General Displeasure and Pouting"

Tax Returns will starting rolling out in a few weeks so he has a chance to coax some people into giving up a little bit of cash to his cause if he can be convincing enough. I don't think this will come down to big contributions rather than getting enough exposure to where a lot of people chip...

This... Seen the day EQII gave experience for discoveries I thought this same thing. Especially if you could somehow work ships and navigation into the game, could you imagine how cool maps, compasses, and other tools would be if they were essential to survival and quality of life?

Runneye was the first zone I stood at the zone line and thought to myself.. "Wow, do I really have to go in there?" We weaved around until we found the other side and actually passed people leveling and pulling the eye for the staff quest (I think). We zoned out and thought it would be clear...

I agree... one of my top 3 favorite zones to this day in the EQ universe. However, with that in mind, I wonder if the actual content philosophy will be the same? Meaning, though we have that designer on board, will there be rooms with named spawns that will be contested (even lines of groups...

I would only agree if the zone is a repeated inconvenience. I think people are suggesting to make zones more meaningful across the board making them less appareling to just "pass over"

The problem with any PvP is this.. it's pointless. I'm a major proponent to PvP but there has yet to be anyone to make it an integral part of the game. EQ2 at one point made it fun but it really wasn't a major part of your character's progression. They tried to make it important by adding...

Whoa.. wait a sec.. who is he referring to?

Out of all seriousness, EQ's music honestly added to the gameplay at least in my opinion. I still go back and listen time to time for a dose of nostalgia.

Agreed... Not to agree with myself but I agreeing that mixing players is a good thing. I think that is a major part of improving the health and the longevity of MMO's. Why do we have "noobie" areas or such segregated tiered areas to where you never see other players. Understood we are not...

YUP... this!

I like the idea of 8 slots. Just stay away from EQ2's system. Also, is there going to be auto-attack? I may sound like a broken record but I really believe you could copy and paste about 80% of EQ and be pretty close to a solid game. May I make another suggestion, don't expand the...

Wanted to chime in a couple of things that i've been going back and forth on. First armor and armor customization. I've always been torn as I really liked having appearance slots al a EQII to set myself apart without impacting my gear. I can remember in EQ putting on resist gear and hating...

My list.. 1. Instance vs. Non-Instance (and I'm not totally against it but I do feel as previously stated below...) 2. Travel / Porting / LFG Mechanics (i.e. will I be instantly ported to my group or have ports within a guild hall or some type of hub) 3. Death Penalty 4. Pulling 5. Raid...

Definitely the big two. I would be really curious to see Brad's ideas as I feel the best approach to ether of these have been discovered. However, I do hate durability loss as a death penalty. Me dying has little to do with my armor getting messed up and then causing me to drop an...
