If EQ3 Hypothetically were in development, what would you suggest?

But if we make this new EQ3 into classic EQ with just better graphics

a lot of new players checking it out might not have the same "taste" as us and find the

game as fun as we do

Sure, it's 2020 and people can learn quickly (I hope) and there tons of resources online

and I'm sure people will help

But I'm talking about the general gaming community

EQ is pretty under the radar when it comes to modern gaming so, I fear that it might

somewhat die

unless it somewhat appeals to this generation of gamers

Use an adventure system like I said, Everquest with worthy additions. Campaigns are an awesome idea I saw here. Make same combat but have it impact based where if you dodge attacks miss if your sword doesn’t touch etc. a hybrid system like this could work

To be honest, I think making a "campaign" into Everquest would ruin the overall

magic of the game. EQ classic is amazing and we all remembered it for the immersion

and how there weren't any NPCs around to say "Hey! GO kill 4 rabbits!"

You chose your own adventure and played it out

Back in the day, a lot of MMOs were like that, Runescape, Ultima Online, Asheron's call

for example

But now most MMOs have some sort of story system. So it is likely, like you said,

will be implemented into EQ3 (if it is being developed)

But it most likely not appeal to veteran EQ fans and it would die

But I am skeptical a new one will come...we have been cheated on with Landmark and Next so we will have to see

hopefully Pantheon does well

I have some ideas for mmorpg of my own that I may want to keep for myself for a future rainy day. I am not too afraid though to say an Everquest and Shadowbane combination would be great. Instead of huge amounts of player cities, make only 4-7 per continent. With the decline of video games Shadowbane or a Shadowbane 2 could easily make a good mobile phone game at the very least. Shadowbane had no content and Everquest has the best content. Another separate video game idea like Everquest 3 I would have positive feelings about. I never played EQ2 and wont for some time. EQ2 was along time ago. Everquest 3 would be interesting. It would have to find the middle ground between Everquest and World of Warcraft. That would be hard because all others have failed. It may not even be possible but it would be nice to see if it is. No one can forever have the time to play a game like Everquest Classic in which the ratio to casual player and non-casual is significant. I think making it half EQ and half modern mmorpg may not be the right ratio. Maybe two thirds classic EQ to one third Wow style. If hearthstones are implemented maybe change the gate time to 2 or 3 times longer than that of Wow. I could play an Everquest with an explanation point above NPCs names. Everquest though is at its core a gambling game. Making everything equal and fair may take away from this feel. Maybe most quest are traditionally like World of Warcraft. Also, maybe few NPCs have quests that you have to talk to them in /say and figure out the right words, that you may easily pass over. Leaving the same feel of "Hey that guy knew a thing I didn't!" It may be hard to find the perfect balance but it would be nice to see if its possible to carry on the mmorpg world in the right direction. I think it would be cool though if a business man in Tokyo with no time could enjoy something for him.

40b is a nice fat number, but god those mobile figures are DISGUSTING. I hate mobile games, I used to work a job where mobile was fun time to time, but the overall experience is shit and even ports to mobile of console classics are garbage compared to the original. We are being force fed low quality cash mill products and there is a generation of kids that this is their idea of 'gaming'. Not all, but some, and that by itself is a shame, because at least as a genesis/snes kid growing up, the goal was to make such a GREAT game that you sell a shit ton of copies of it to get it to every kid in every home. The games tried to have amazing music/story/gameplay to keep you hooked.

To think that almost no games are not tainted in some way shape or form by "DLC" or "Seasons" and that immersion is secondary to micro transactions and paywalls is complete shit.

I thought this trailer was made for Super Everquest. In the battle of Erudin. Sorry to ruin the game for you. But you are not real, and figments of my imagination so its not ruining anything.

Dunkirk - Trailer 1

Edit: It was not on purpose to pick Erudin
