I don't know about 09, but in smeds interview with warcry he did mention another eq game.
Playing Fallen Earth.
Of course SOE working on EQ3, BMcQ has to be doing something for them.
LOL last I heard he was cleaning SOE office rest rooms
Perhaps. EverQuest was released in 1999. EverQuest II was released in 2004. That's a five year difference. Five years after 2004 would be 2009.
One thing is for certain. SOE is definitely planning on making an EverQuest III

The notion that graphics, or anything else for that matter, are anywhere near as important as gameplay/fun is so utterly ridiculous that anyone who shares such a view should be placed in an asylum.

Of note in the article:
""[We're] refocusing SOE on high quality and not rushing releases," said of his coming crop of games. They learned many valuable lessons from EverQuest II and its head-to-head competition against World of Warcraft. Fact was, while both games did rather well, WoW had the budget, time and polish that EverQuest II did not. What's more, EQII was the first attempt at an MMO sequel, a mistake Smedley readily admits.
"In hindsight, I wish we could have had a do-over and not called it EverQuest II," he said frankly. "I doubt you will see us do that again."
He explained how to him, the two games are very different.
"It was called a sequel, but in reality it was a different game set in the same world, just in the future."
So does that mean EverQuest fans don't have anything more to expect in the MMO genre? Not at all. Smedley told us that they fully intend to do another EverQuest MMO.
"One day in the future, but not sure what point. No one's actually working on it," he said carefully."
tx 4 the update guys. keep me post'd w/ new n4.
"kill them, kill them all!"
Could you please stop using so much shorthand that your posts look like text messages? If you're not willing to stop entirely, could you at least cut down a bit?

No kidding. Like it is all that hard to type "for" instead of "4", "posted" instead of "post'd" (the same number of keystrokes for goodness sakes). Of course, when you actually know how to type on a QWERTY keyboard it makes shorthand more of an effort than actually typing the words. Oh, and "n4" instead of "info"? "n4" doesn't even make any sense. en-fohr or en-fawr ≠ in-foh
OMG please stop that is horrible. As far as EQ3, please let this not be true. The EQ2 was a total opposite from EQ1, all it had similar was the name and locations.
Vanguard turned out to be his worst project, to me Brad will always be remembered for making the best MMORPG of all time EQ1 and getting the mainstream of real MMORPG's going. UO was 2D and over-head view, the other MUDs MMORPG's do not count essentially because EQ1 was a more realistic 3D game with superior content and he is the Father of that type of mainstream content. Without Brad we wouldn't have our WOW DAOC GW LOTRO EQ2 type games.
I hope they do not bring another EQ3 to life, the same thing over and over does not get any better it gets worse.
I agree that people shouldn't mock someones typing, however; I see what they meant by calling you out on it. Most of your words you try to shorten are the same length as the original spelling of those words. An example when you put apostrophe in those words like frick'n it has same character length as the word spelled correctly of 7, so spell them right is all they are asking because truthfully I see no need for it either unless it is a true shorthand word or shortened to the point it makes sense.
Also I wanna comment real quick how all this stupid short talk is making people forget the English language, and how to speak correctly. We have RAP to thank for that, pure ignorance inside and out. So many people try to short words and make no sense when they talk or type in things, it looks like something someone would type or say after a head injury.
Yeah, something tells me that you'll get along just fine with people here and integrate into this community perfectly with an attitude like that.
I wasn't even really being all that rude. But if you can't be polite enough to put a little effort into your posts and make them easy to read for us, then why should we go easy on you?
I regret ever having assisted you by giving you the information earlier. If I had been out to simply criticize you, I wouldn't have posted that before asking you to take the time to make your posts at least somewhat legible. You'll note that I didn't even ask for your posts to be perfect --- I just wanted you, at the very least, to use shorthand that makes sense, and maybe even throw a period, comma, or line break in to give us a better idea of when one sentence ended and another began.
It doesn't help either that a good portion of your shorthand requires some thinking to decipher (bns? n4?), or doesn't make any sense from the "it saves time" standpoint (anything you change to end with "'n" is either as long as, one or two characters shorter, or even longer than the word you're "abbreviating"). On top of that, you seem to spell and type out plenty of longer words as well, so I'm beginning to doubt your claim of inadequacy in typing speed. (70 wpm is pretty average, it is by no means an excuse to type like you currently are -- if you averaged sub-50, it would be a different story.)
EQ3- Yes please.
But make it a bit more EQ1ish for me.
OP types like a retard pure and simple. Being dumb is the new hip.
No wonder we in the U.S. are in the basement academically.

EQ1 more realistic then MUDs..... i'm sorry thats crazy. Your brain compiles what your eyes see, just like it compiles the information you read.
MUDs paved the way for graphical RPGs. but they are still the first MMORPGs. Even Food Fight on your local BBS was a MMORPG long before public internet access. The kids that grew up in those times are alot of the talent making these graphical games to date. Without those influences we'd have alot less variety of MMO.
EQ3.... I think they should make EQ1 Free to Play, Faction based PvP, with Full Loot Rules, and then sell advertisement space ingame.
But EQ3 Might be fun too.

"Baning Smokers from public places is like baning people from water who like to pee."
Though, to be honest I can't see this happening till real news. I mean what would they plan to do in an Everquest "3" any different from say Everquest 2 or Vanguard.
The new thing was the card game they came out with, maybe that's what lead some people to believe in EQ 3.
Anyone seen the movie idiocracy?
D.
I sure as hell hope they're done with Everquest. Although knowing SOE we'll probably be talking about the release of EQ8 in the future. I feel after Everquest2 that I'm pretty much done with the EQ Universe. My account wont expire for a few months, but I'm not going to be renewing, and not going to pick up EQ3-8. For the most part I'm done with SOE at least once my account expires, UNLESS by some crazy twist of fate smed announces a SWG Pre-CU server. In this crazy bizzaro world where smed listens to the consumer, I'll be re-subbing SWG for quite a while.
