R.I.P MMORPGs... 1999-2004

[2flare]

Well boys, it's been a fun ride... I truly believed it was "possible" to re-experience what MMORPGs were like once: Believable alternate world, exciting,dangerous, huge social commitments, friendships, etc



It is time to accept that there will only be SINGLE PLAYER MULTIPLAYER RPG GAMES.

You will be able to: 1) change class whenever u feel like it

2) Solo to max lvl in 2 weeks

3) And do it without talking with anyone

4) Troll and be rude as much as you wish

5) Maps and arrows to every quest

6) LIVE ACTION, Press meaningless spells constantly


7) Only die if you're afk or u hit a mob higher level than u




..... Welcome to WOWNEXT!

No man. There will be a new great game, but it will come from left field (i.e. an unknown/indie).

[Langrisser]

the WAY we play has to change... IE Ocularis / Illumiroom / Omnidirectional treadmills

luckily, that is ALL here... ill just keep playing everquest on the new systems and hopefully they'll port EQ1 to voxels and make seasons change or something, that would blow my load

[Robdukes]

Well we should be able to get the tools to build the eq kunark-velious worlds. They're giving them away with the game but we'd probably need a stand-alone version. Then rework the old character models and there ya go. Would probably take quite some time but then again if enough people work on it..and the system for building the world seemed simple enough! Ya know what, I bet most people here would hate it. Not classic they would scream.

Sounds like the last 2 mmo's I've played. Was into them for about three to five weeks then right back to EQ full-time.

With the crafting of mines and forced public questing!

The level of self-infatuation in SOE's presentations is absolutely corny. Gawd I hope EQ Next really is the next Jesus game, but I'll be damned if they don't pull a GW2.

Thought EQNEXT has nothing in common to WoW about it. My only concern is regarding instancing which I haven't heard about still.
Truth is what you were expecting was Everquest classic with improved graphics.
