You can play eq next right now as an alpha tester but there is a catch.

You have to pay a not so small fee.

You cannot play EQN right now, you can play EQN Landmark right now. They are two very different games, with two very different goals in mind.

Further, don't pay the fee, and wait for it to be free if you don't want to support the development team. You pay for early access, or you can wait and get it free later.

As for me, it has been damn fun, and I have enjoyed every hour I have played.

And paying $60 to make content for them. It's brilliant.

They are not accepting content right now. Right now, you pay $60 to support the dev team in making the tool set, EQN Landmark.

Wait two months, and you can buy into Beta for $20. Wait some months after that, and you can get it free. It's around that point that they will use Landmark to make EverQuest Next world, and they will begin actively seeking content to be submitted. But again, by that point, Landmark will be free. And your content only goes into the game if the community likes it the most. It's very similar to Valve's policy when it comes to stuff for DOTA 2, and some parts of TF2. The more community support, the more likely they are to put that community made item into the core game. Don't want to? Don't. But if you like to build stuff, hey, something you make might just be in the release of their MMO. It's really quite smart to keep yourself open to your community, after all, SoE's problem has never in the past been being too open with their consumer base... Lol.

There's a thread about Landmark in off topic, just so you guys know. Not sure what the point of this post is.

keep off topic in off topic.

Never said it was not landmark. Since I know the prices of it you could probably assume with some simple logic I just didn't write it. I don't read Every p99 thread so if there another one how would I know.

The point is why pay for something that is and should be free already. Paying for an alpha test before
the open beta is insane. Thank you forum Nazi for your help on this.

They are just trying to deliver some early shekels to the shareholders? I don't know. They have some pretty impressive stuff and they knew people wanted it enough to drop $100 or $60 to play the skeletal version. Sprinkle in a few cosmetic items and some juicy gear that gives you advantages, and you have a source of revenue while you develop.

The price is a bit steep for what they are offering, but I'm having fun with it. $60, $30, $10 prices would have been less diabolical.

Glad I could help, but this has nothing to do with Project 1999 so that's why I directed you to the off-topic forum. Even if you don't read every thread, you might wanna put this in the right category.
