Sorry, I worded that poorly. Here's the original quote (responding to another quote, from here):



Although Nilbog doesn't explicitly say so, you're very likely correct: he's probably not talking about new 3D zone files, he's talking about using an existing zone file to create an (otherwise) completely new zone, vs. trying to re-create the Luclin (or whatever expansion) version of it.

But that's just my guess, and I know nothing except what the devs (explicitly) say. For all I know Nilbog is really hardcore and does plan to create new 3D zone files. If you want to know for sure you'd have to ask him.

On entire Emu since 2005, there was only 1 guy who actually went and made a whole 3 zones from scratch. 2 of them were mostly just empty boxes with a few trees [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And yes I totally get what Nilbog was saying - researching "exactly how it was" is a major pain. If you gonna do non classic content anyway, may as well do Vampires in Juggedpine and completely new set of quests with it. T-client contains crap ton of material (zones, models) all way up to DODH expansion - that's like 200 zones, 300 new npc models and like 500 weapons and shields past Velious. Plenty to pick from.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.
