I hope pantheon succeeds because the devs deserve a massive payback and to live on an island with IRL elves.
I however probably wouldn't design the game the way they are though. We'll see. I am too much in love with EQ. I don't even want EQ reskinned - maybe just more original EQ style expansions/zones. If I had EQ to do all over, would be the same engine, same kinda models, same kinda stuff, but I would redo the classic world and give the cities more room. Add more classic 1-50 zones. Neriak would have a 4th and 5th section, quarter, zone. And spread out the loot more, make it rarer. There'd be a few more leveling zones themed around the more urban areas so that Dark elves could lvl up on the wood elf slums, etc. And it wouldn't have a PvE release. PvP only.
Barbs would get some more land.
There'd be a bigger city off of village off of EK.
The underwater areas would be fleshed out with reefs, less flat zone geometry, and more stuff. I would create a mer-elf city of prexus worshipping elves that when they were in the water their model would switch to a mer-tail, and on land they would get legs.
Faeries would be a playable race

I believe this is the single biggest trip up to all the original EQ devs… they could not top their own first labor of love. They got caught in the dream.
