Good Game for Dungeon exploring and loot ?

Tumguror

Hello. I was a hardocre player of Everquest. That was my first MMORPG game and it has been the only one that made me play each day of each week.

The main reason was that each day i had a goal to superate. Each dungeon was a challenge for me and my friends and sometimes you fail counting with 72 guys. The strategic component of Everquest is very important and the harder are the challenges the better is the feeling when you reach it.

Now my question is : all the recent releases of MMORPG games are making a lot of efforts in PvP content. Everquest PvP is almost inexistent and even tho is the most populated MMORPG game in the last 5 years. Have you ever ask yourself WHY ?.

If you can answer that question then you will understand why am i making this post and then you could respond me when i ask again :

Are there any MMORPG game, in development process, that will make the Realm(computer) vs Player groups ( hughe or shorts ) content the basis of the game ?

I mean, will be all the new games PvP ones ? and if so, for the people that love the formula of Everquest, will we have to stay at EQ forever ?

The only reason for me to make such question is that i HATE what SONY did to EQ , SONY has destroyed EQ trying to make more dollars. I would like to know if i can have hope in that i will be able to play a realm vs players game nearly and i will be able to abandone EQ forever more.

Thanks a lot for reading this post and for the answers

The main basis for WoW is grouping with Epic group only dungeons at the end. Even though it does have some RvR or PvP its very little. You will probably find WoW to be your best choice I know my RL friend that loves EQ and plays every day will also be going to WoW with his whole guild. They all think it will be the game to beat EQ for the game style they like.

I don't think EQ2 will be for you as SoE is the ones making it not verant which seems to be what you liked about EQ. Ever since SoE took over EQ all the long term people hate what SoE has done.

Also CoH is group only like EQ but other than fighting no loot so not sure it would be for you. Again I think WoW sounds like your kinda game.

Yes many people not just you long for a good old dungeon crawl .Not many games out there offer this.In fact none atm.

Games to watch out that MAY have it are EQ2 and WoW.

The only very good dungeon crawl games I know are all only single player games.
Examples: all roguelikes, Ultima Underworld, Dungeon Hack and so on.

Betatested:

AC2; Lords of Everquest; Horizons; Fung Wan Online; Wish; Saga of Ryzom.

Played:

EQ (retired); DAoC (retired); Horizons (semi retired); SWG (retired); Shadowbane (Retired)

Did you play EQ before the cookie days?I mean pre planes when you actually had to find some necro/sk,a cleric or a rogue to get your body out.Fun part was in the danger.Problem now is everything is so safe.You have level 10s wandering around in areas meant for level 30s simply because the routes are safe as heck and once they finally die they just have to click and body/loot all back with them .

Horizons was supposed to be THE PvE game but it turned out bad. I heard they are making lot's of improvements but I still havent heard anything about those castle sieges by the AI they talked so much about. Plus they have no dungeons :

 

Have you tried Asherons Call? I heard they have excellent PvE.

Keep an eye on Vanguard:Saga of Heroes. Looks like its going to have some great dungeon crawling.

Wait for WoW, because from what is known currently the game is extremely carebear. Get ready for some hugs n' kisses.

I left EQLive before Plains of Power was going live. Some changes I heard like portals and portal tomes for everyone rendering druids earning less money.

 I would have to say go and try ac1, I have played ac2, horizons, and lineage 2. And compared to these games the loot and the dungeon experience's are second to none(that i have played). The good thing about ac1 is you can solo, or you can group. There are dungeons that are impossible for soloing, and there are dungeons that are tough, or walk through's. It is all really what you are looking for. One of the better things about ac1 is the fact that if you are running through certain area's of the game, you don't run across the same critters. there are harder areas all the way down to easy area's. But you just done go from critter to critter of the same'ol, same'ol. AC2 and Lineage 2, are really bac about that, and that is what drove me away from them both. Just my 2 p's.

Erm totally off topic as he asked for a game with dungeon exploration not your views of PvE.

Blackrayn

 This is true, and in my first sentance. I explained the loot and dungeons. But i just wanted to add the other. And i'm sure that WoW, will be awsome, gonna play it myself. But for a cheap and very fun game untill the release of WoW, ac1 is a helluva a hold over to it.

Are there any MMORPG game, in development process, that will make the Realm(computer) vs Player groups ( hughe or shorts ) content the basis of the game ?

---

Erm, stfu and read.

BTW:

Try AO, they have generated dungeons.

Two very nice features of Anarchy Online are its random customizable missions and "dyna-camps" (a new feature from Shadowlands which are linear progressive instanced dungeons).
