Personally I'd like to see a game that's like EQ content-wise, but not UI-wise. So I'd say ...

But I think true classic EQ was kind of silly; why bury your head in the sand when you know that leaving out in-game maps just means players will look at EQAtlas? As for soloability, I played a Shaman in classic so I never had any issues soloing (and I thought that was a good thing). But I'm not against having some soloable classes and some group-only classes. And while I don't think tradeskills need to be an integral part of the game, I think Velious/Luclin era got tradeskills right: they were unessential but had some in-game benefit (vs. pure classic EQ where most tradeskills were purely for role-playing). |

I believe Pantheon : Rise of the Fallen aims to do this very thing and is expected to release in 2017. It may be a worthwhile gauge for you.

I would check it out, how long I would play cannot be guessed at this time. However, as others have stated, Im and old gamer and am not the target market for a new game. It just wouldnt hold up today.
That said, i liked what another poster said about some of the features could change. If the world is as big and dangerous as EQ, having in game maps isnt a big deal. That doesnt make finding your way through the maze any easier than looking at eqatlas was and its still a dangerous run through, not just run in a straight line back like modern games. I do think there is a place in the game market for a hard, slowly progressing game like classic EQ, but so many of the design features(limitations?) that made it what it was, just cant exist today, so it just isnt likely to be possible to ever make a new EQ. |

I wish the game luck but he doesn't have the any cred after the debacle of Vanguard. What a disaster that was, although it did have a few players that enjoyed it after they fixed the game years after launch. Although he was apart of the original EQ team, so who knows maybe he can strike it big on this one. Like many other old school MMO gamers, every MMO launch typically garners a great deal of skepticism after 15 years of shitty MMO launches so don't take it as bashing the game. I'm just glad someone is trying to do something different than copy / paste the WoW gameplay. |

I play EQ cus its the closest thing to playing d&d on my own that there is.. the art reminds me of the old books I used to read, all crappy, the gameplay is hard to figure out, the world is just big enough to seem huge but not big enough that nearly every corner of it is relevent.. just reminds me of old D&D so.. if there was an mmo that gave me those feels I would be into it!

EQ would be like, Tom? that mo fo's gona be a class all his own! http://davidadamsuski.com/wp-content...dil-Banner.png love it. |
I know we're in the project 1999 opinion bubble here, but I really think this kind of game would buck conventional marketing wisdom.
Look at the success of Dark Souls. That game is fucking HARD. It's merciless on the player, and it's done quite well. There's something about throwing a gamer into a truly alien world where they are forced to explore, make friends, solve complicated problems with minimal direction, and face stiff penalties upon death that makes for a very addicting and immersive experience. |

You wouldn't be able to afford to create, promote , manufacture and distribute this MMo with such a small niche Sadly today's gamers are some of the worst humans I've ever met. So lazy, poor attitudes, the world owes them everything, self entitled babies. Spoon fed + kill 10 goblins + give me a full detailed map and a glowing line to every location and NPC I need to talk to plz -k - thx |
