I wonder how hard that is to do? Would be even better if NPC's would fight each other and level up. would make the whole online levelling guide worthless. But maybe this is asking too much of this project.

Shaman sucks? Warrior was undesired?
There is so much bad knowledge of EQ in this post and in your previous ones that it's pretty fucking clear you knew nothing about the game besides press auto attack and chat.
Stop talking about a game you clearly know nothing about.

It's 2014. The people who are going to play Pantheon are going to have a pretty good idea of the ramifications of choosing their class. Don't get wrapped up on 1999.
The exception to this are complete newbs but who cares about them amiright? 80% of them are going to quit as soon as they figure out they aren't going to get loot handed to them on a silver platter with a cherry centered white chocolate truffle on top.

He's just fucking tap-dancing all over the place because he has no clue wtf he's trying to say, because he has very little knowledge of critical information in this argument.
Bad troll is bad.
The 2 most memorable things about EQ for me were the spell graphics and the music. They were just so well done. I hope these are strong in this new game.

Every warrior I knew at some point in their EQ career had a big fucking meltdown about how the class sucked and was getting cheated. Just like every shaman bitched that all anyone wanted from them was slow and the class was shit otherwise. That was pretty much the staple of EVERY EQ class. Thinking you and your class alone was being trod upon was a classic EQ pasttime.
Fast forward to modern game design that tries to appeal these woe-is-me fucktards by having every class be a dps class! LOOK AT YOUR BIG NUMBERS YOU'RE FINALLY SOMEBODY!!! Until you obsess over the parse of the guy next to you and rage-quit because you're not having fun unless that other class with higher dps is nerfed, because they're obviously the reason you didn't get into that one group that one time.

Maybe but If I was to get the most out of my content I would try. That allows 1 dungeon to be normal, hardcore group and possibly raid all in how the players interact with it.

Remember that one time that one guy you knew either quit or re-rolled his moderately high level character because he didn't have the perfect stat allocation at character creation?
I miss that.

WTF does a single player console game have to do with a large MMO? Pretty much nothing.
I'm harping on you because you are not the only person out there who thinks levels are a bad idea - the EQN Senior Staff agrees with you and it's just completely mental.
Not only do levels help with the things previously mentioned but they also have the really really nice feature of making expansion progression much easier to develop.
That was the worst part of the EQN presentation at SOE Live when Butler was trying to explain how expansions would work by comparing it to MTG expansions. MTG expansions work because - as we know - they eliminate entire sets every three years or so and the new sets contain 40-50% of previously issued cards and another 20% of very, very similar cards. In MMO terms that's a gear reset.
I'd love to see Butler's face when he figures out that the only way to get people to grind for gear for Tier 7 say, is by making the Tier 7 ridiculously OP. That is to say a gear reset, no different than Blizzard moving from level 60 to level 70 or 90 or wtf. So at the end of the day, there was no freaking reason for EQN/Butler to use tiers instead of levels except for them it sounded "cooler" I guess.

Draegan won't admit it but he's moved a bit in his position in regard to neckbeard philsopspy. He's just trying to think outside the box and advance the genre.. It's funny he said Tad has no imagination tho: I used to accuse him of the same thing: lol.. Draegan that is..
Just think it's unfair that people want to make this long awaited messiah of a game more like the last 10 years. We've been hoping and praying for so long. So ill graciously say gtfo with all these modern convenience ideas.

I totally agree. I can not and will not play anymore MMORPGs that believe dungeons are supposed to be instance runs. Dungeons are supposed to be something memorable. They should illicit fear, anxiety and excitement when you and your friends manage to make it out alive. They should not be treadmill-driven theme park rides.
I loved the old original EQ dungeons. They were awesome!
I can't name a single dungeon in WoW or EQ2 that I liked enough to remember, but I can tell you explicit details about the old EQ dungeons.

That's easy... my favorite WoW dungeon was from the time they were still trying to copy EQ.

I don't have to. I had a level 50 in original EQ when 50 was the max level. 60 when it was the max level. 75 etc.
I already proved myself. I don't have to prove myself to you on some stupid emu server.
I find it amazing that after all of these shit ass fucking piece of fucktard MMOs over the past decade, we have the opportunity for someone like Brad to finally bring MMORPGs back where they belong, and we have some jack ass like you here trying to tell people that the fucked up shitty design ideas that fucked the MMO industry are what he should put in them. Please do us a favor and go fuck yourself in an instance of your mom's basement.
I am so sick of watching the same mother fuckers come in to every fucking new MMO and spew shit designs on the forums. Look your instanced dungeons. They didn't work. They didn't work in WoW. They didn't work in EQ2. They didn't work in Neverwinter. They didn't work in Age of Conan. They didn't work in SWTOR. They didn't work in every fucking MMORPG made in the past fucking decade.
God Damn! Seriously. Go fuck yourself.
