Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

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 lower level zones could have transformed into higher level zones as it followed the evolving lore of each expansion. Velious could have altered the Everfrost area zones, Luclin could have altered zones with spires, cities could have collapsed and went under siege only to be restored by the next expansion. I hate that expansions took you further and further away from familiar locations, leaving them empty and untouched for even years at times when they could have played a meaningful role in telling the story of the game. Just a thought I've had for awhile.

there isn’t some need for every iota of the game world to be occupied at all times. The problem is easily solveable by going back and adding high level content to old zones once the game is more mature, like ring events or whatever else, there’s a bunch of ways to address that. But rather than cycling people thru old content that they’ve done, they’re better off having enough stuff at the high end that people are busy doing that for a long time, which seems to be their plan ,
as even in alpha there is about 20-30x more content at high levels than pantheon.

That increased my strength while I listened to it, but it wore off 6 seconds later.
