In 14 years a more immersive and captivating game has not been produced.

EQs downtime is what gave us all a chance to make friends and actually chat with one another. The terrible risks of dying and possibly wasting hours on lost exp and corpse runs made the rewards of success genuinely thrilling. Its like your mom forcing you to eat your vegetables. We think we hate it but its part of a healthy roleplaying game experience. You can't get the mass market to eat there vegetables so instead its cookies for breakfast every day. EQ has cookies too but only for dessert. They're much sweeter that way.

Well said.

Your analogy just made me want some cookies and milk. Thanks a lot.

Yes. I can't imagine anyone ever needing more than 64k of RAM either.

EQ next was scheduled to release in 2014, BEFORE they completely 100% wiped it and redid it last year.. The fact they're showing what little they have made so far doesn't mean its being released any time soon, and i doubt you will see it before at LEAST 2015, maybe the supreme end of 2014, if they rush it and make it terrible.

it's actually slated for december [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Indeed. They said they could have given the public a playable version at E3, but chose to delay it until SOELive.
