EQ Never

There was concept art of Freeport but they had a screenshot based on that art that looks amazing (while still being obviously an in game image). Forgot about bald dude, he'd crush the current human male.

Very Planetside 2, early voxel development, note the Paladin from the leak, and the traditional locations listed highlighted in green.Is this map relevant anymore?

Polygon Freeport gets me all drooling. Hopefully voxel Freeport has made some serious strides. That's basically the exact art style I would have wanted.

Why couldn't they just add the dynamic mob thing to EQ3? That alone would have been pretty amazing.
God damn it, someone learn Unity so we can make our own EQ. Christ.
Maybe the voxel engine will make a couple of strides before release. I mean it's at least 2 or 3 years out.

I'm sure it looks better these days because that shot was old when they showed it off, but I'd say Landmark makes it obvious they're still not close to where it was. I think that's just going to be the case for the game in general.
There's a lot of weird geometry shit with even basic terrain.
Edit: always loved that second piece of art with the Iksar. So fucking awesome.

Have you heard of pantheon?
Anyway, I think its too far gone. They're so deep in a convoluted world of voxels, mobas, soemote, denial of service and other major design perspectives and elements that short of a 5th reboot EQN won't change course, the overall negative and distasteful (to us) aspects will not change in any substantial fashion no matter how many people they fire. If nothing else as they appoint new staff too many chefs will continue to spoil the already bitter soup.

All the more reason to fund Pantheon. Vanguard was the REAL EQ2, and Pantheon will be the REAL EQ3

You're probably right because SOE is incompetent: however, on the off chance someone there was competent and saved the art assets and code for EQ 3 (2nd Gen) they could restart the project from Square two or three, instead of zero.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't just delete it. I'm sure they still have it. I doubt they'll ever resume work on the game, though. Much less, release it.
Voxel architecture in landmark currently doesn't look anywhere near that bad, lots of it looks great. Isn't that the most reasonable benchmark to judge how eqn probably looks instead of years old pictures from when the Voxel toolkit and technique was way shittier.
