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...

Anyone have suggestions on some good level spots for a group that's 95-100? We are still doing Gribbles mission but we are burned out. We've tried Gnome Memorial Mountain, HoT, and a few other places but its either worse experience or not quite high enough. We have a SK, 2 Mags, Shaman...

I enjoyed Unrest and several of their recreated, historic pieces of Norrath in a lot of expansions. It really is a shame environmentally they did a lot of cool things but what it takes to actually plays the game was pretty miserable at times. I really did like Scott... I kept hoping he would...

EQ2 did a lot of good things and its really unfortunate that is was just overshadowed by the many bad things they did. Also, it was a victim of people just needing some change. EQ's current status and the shear amount of time people had invested into it just led many people to look elsewhere...

This just seems a little deflating for a 25th Anniversary to me. At least the EQ2 announcement felt like they really put some time and thought into by attempting to bring everything to a separate code base and learn toward the side of nostalgia. The EQ announcement just seems a little lazy to...

I wish I would have snagged a lifetime sub. I felt like I was giving $200 or whatever it was for a game that was going to be sold and/or shutdown in the not so distance future so I didn't jump on the deal. I'm hoping they have a surprise in the near future about an EQ3 or remastering EQ...

I wonder if those accounts are just subbed or they literally mean the characters created on that date are still logging in. I think my character on what was Solu Ro was made day 1 but once we moved to Lanys that December following release I haven't logged into any of my OG's. To me it reads...

Can you boost a character's other persona? In my mind it seems like you could switch to another class and then apply the boost or am I oversimplifying it? Looking to take my main (which is a cleric) and boost him as a SK.

Just a heads up: It is EverQuest’s 25th Anniversary! All players will receive the following: 50% bonus to experience gains for all players! (Bonus ends on April 1, 2024, at 1:00 a.m. PDT.) A Royal Silver Crown for all your characters. (One per character; available until April 20, 2024, at...

I've really enjoyed doing my epics. I'm completed 1.0, 1.5, and nearing the 2.0 completion. Its been forever since I've done one (I'm guessing Agnarr) and the only part that can be challenging are Rare spawns. I'm sure on TLP's they're not as bad but if you're going back to your home server...

It felt the same way when we started back a month or so ago... I found some great resources on YouTube and online (some a little dated but works as you progress) but as I remember more I'll share. These are some of my most helpful resources I have found. https://www.eqprogression.com/...

Hate that he won’t get to see these recents arcs be made into anime. I’ve really enjoyed the manga. I have no idea what to expect in this new series but we’ll see. Goku may be one of the most wholesome character creations of all time. Hard to tell just how many other characters and...

I guess Bard is "Hard" comparatively to the other classes. I never felt it was hard per say but I did play an Enchanter through Agnarr and felt some of those pressures but I had a blast doing it. Bard is very active more than difficult but maybe I'm just not remembering what it was like...

One of my all time favorite movies. Not sure how I feel about a remake but if they can get even close, I'll happily watched it.
