This might / might not be an MMO. But here are some interesting stuff I dig up from their job posting:

A Narrative Designer to create a compelling game narrative for an unannounced AAA title based on a popular old-class IP.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION:
  • Work with the Creative Director and design team to create compelling game narrative and dialogue
  • Write and/or edit large amounts of VO and text, from mission text and item names to marketing materials and release notes
  • Implementation using design tools
  • Manage the text and VO workflows and pipelines
  • Work with external partners on text and asset approvals
  • Work closely with the VO director to ensure the quality and accuracy of VO
  • Collaborate with various disciplines to support narrative and player messaging
  • Extensive research when required
  • Story, character, and gameplay documentation

Position: Content Designer
Location: Austin, TX

The ideal candidate will have previous experience developing massively multiplayer roleplaying games, with a key focus on the design, creation, and maintenance of missions and story systems.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES
From Pre-production to Final Release and Live Operations:
• Collaborate with the Lead Designer to design and document exciting missions within the framework of a popular, established IP
• Collaborate with the Lead Designer to identify and define requirements for design implementation tools
• Write text, dialog and cinematic moments that fit the IP
• Create fun, AAA quality missions, map layouts, Boss mechanics, and shared-open-world events, in a fast-paced, iterative environment

"How can we make this as close to TLPs in a new engine?"

"Old-class IP" I'm assuming that just means "old school" right? Is there really any doubt that this is not EQIII?

It's going to have the worst of the BDO like $5000 pet random gambling bundles to get you that +1.5 gooderer stats and exp boost, the worst content and overall the worst managed.

This is gonna rock!

This might / might not be an MMO. But here are some interesting stuff I dig up from their job posting:

Those jobs are from two different studios at DBG: Austin and San Diego. A lot of the San Diego openings reference the "old-class IP."

Because speculation is stupid/fun, Daybreak San Diego is looking for an EQ Franchise Project Manager. In it, the following skills are a plus:

*Experience with Unreal 4, Outsource management, pc and console development a big plus

Since no current EQ is based on UE4, nor are they on consoles, this would have to be for something in the pipeline.
