I was so far beyond unimpressed with the twitch unveiling videos at SOE fest or w/e it's called. Not to mention how they made people watch some gay sand artist for 30minutes that was the dumbest shit I've ever seen in my life. Glad I was able to skip through it.

Game looks pretty whack, especially the imported Lion characters..idk.

If we want a game like old eq, we are going to have to write it ourselves. If I happen to retire early, I'll get started on it. Gonna need art support, I can't draw worth balls.

;D

Game itself is entirely next gen centric. It is what it is, they said its EQ Next because its not EQ 3. EQ1 is grinding pixels, EQ2 is WoW, EQ Next is back to RPG roots.

You have to tell the players what they want...otherwise it gets extremely messy.

I remember the Trakanon server going up on live back in 2009(?), the last new blue server that was launched. Why was it launched? People voted for it on the SOE forums to replace the Mayong (L51/50 AA) server. I wasn't among the voters but I did see it launch and got involved, made a(nother) shaman and the community was great for a couple of months.

Bearing in mind this is what the community voted for, SOE then made the decision launch a progression server...which killed the population overnight as rumors of a shut down circulated. It did shut down, we were all moved to Tunare and that was the last EQ Live experience I ever had, didn't want to be Swishxxxxx on Tunare [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A long story, but the point is... if they let the players have too much control over the destiny of the game/servers/community they'll end up ticking a lot of boxes slightly, everyone will get frustrated and probably not play for long.

From that screenshot its funny to see people trying to control the voting [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let's make a game for idiots and let them decide what goes into it.
