ok sure
Yeah i did a google search and nothing stated that eq is having any servers, so that email is most likely a few years old but brad stated that it was fake
Sorry what, what what? What does that mean? 1999 Source? WHAT?
IS THIS TRUE?!
EDIT: Saw the above. I hate everything.
But what does Source 99 mean?
well..
this has taken a turn to the weird. lol.
certainly brad has had some really good ideas but he has had some equallty bad ideas.
Good:
factions, classes, theme, challenge, fluff...
bad:
levelling, raiding, camping, wait your turn gameplay, bookstaring.
if hes working on the game lets hope hes learned something over the past 14 years.
EQ Offical Twitter
Lets hope fires of heaven stays in eq where they belong. We dont need them turning yet another game into a raid grinder.
thats half the problem these days in mmo's. Special interest groups getting into alpha/beta early and getting in bed with the developers. Reliance on endgame raiding has had its day. Time to let it go.
Fire of heaven or not, EQNext will be very raid and PVE centric with an robust PvP system available on select servers.
somehow i just dont think so, but well have to wait and see wont we.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!
I think the failures of both Smed and Brad, coupled with their seeming willingness to change and return to the drawing board maybe be fertile grounds for good game design.
Having said that, confirmation of Brad actually working on EQN is not there yet, I fired off an e-mail to him for shits and giggles to confirm this other e-mail.
They open classic servers a lot of EQ if that is what you like to do. Fippy and Vulak and some others opened a while ago, I forgot all the names.
As for FoH, they are the ones who bailed on Everquest during GoD and ran off to WoW. I don't know why they even get mentioned, they haven't been in EQ for 10 years. I remember them as a very annoying bunch, they were before they ran off to WoW and in any game they rear their ugly head.
Lol, you really think that smed is going to turn EQ into a sandbox PVP game with PVE as an add on? I'm not saying it will be a total copy of EQ but make no mistake EQNext will have plenty of raiding and PVE, more so than PVP.
What updated PVE/RAID system we will get i don't know but it will be there.
I hope you aren't implying that an MMO needs instancing... DAoC did great raids and had no camping in the game world, and it didn't have any instancing.
Also, Brad made Vanguard, which is probably the best PvE MMo to date. He's learned quite a lot.
No im no fan of instances but im no fan of rare spawn camping either. I was just pointing out that not everything was great in everquest. Well see what mcquaid has learned. I look forward to him being on the EQN team but i certainly wont use vanguard as proof of anything.
Its all merely a rumor at this point anyway..
Having said that, some McQuaid involvement in EQN does make this already controversial title even moreso, I dig it.
they should call the game "Everquest Free"
it rhymes with everquest 3
its free to play
its a sandbox which emphasizes player freedom.
can we get a forum now? lol.
wtb EQN forum.
That is the order of things.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
Smed? Georgenson? Aradune? anyone?
were in dire need of a detail...any detail.....
They claimed they wanted an offical logo, screen shots, etc before a content area would be provided, despite the countless turd MMOs, vaporware, or games as pre release as EQN, with their own areas. Oh well :P
This.
