Will 1999 ever happen again?

Well there is this floating out there, time will tell if it ever gets released or not. It looks and sounds like exactly what all of us want, but I will be waiting until post-release to see if that comes to pass.

Haha, fuck no. That pantheon guy took the money that this server and streamers generated and ran off with 40k of it for "personal expenses" within weeks of generating that profit.

It's a cash grab, nothing more.

Yeah, hence my stating I will not touch it until after its released, though if the game does eventually get released and is decently reviewed I will likely play it, as its exactly the type of game I'm looking for.

As shitty as McQuaid handled things, there was actually a recent article by the Pantheon people that somewhat impressed me.

Everquest strikes me as occupying a similar position as the Oldsmobile Curved Dash or Ford Trimotor: It wasn't the first, but it validated a concept. Successors--the Model T Ford, the DC-3, World of Warcraft--later moved a proven concept mainstream. There are railroad men who'd rather operate noisy, bucking steam locomotives than modern, comfortable diesels. There are pilots who'd rather fly wood and fabric biplanes than strong, fast jets. And then there's us--a bunch of gamers who'd rather stick it out in Everquest than join the modern gaming world. That's alright. 1999 doesn't have to happen again. It doesn't need to. I'm content enough with Project1999 while the rest of the gaming world has moves on as it must.

Sigh I wish daybreak would just remake EQ1 verbatim, mechanics-wise, with a fancy modern engine, maybe flesh out the continents a little more with some zones that were on the original cloth map but not in-game, and call it a day. I bet that would be much more successful than whatever insane high-concept terrible pile of shit they end up releasing (if they ever do). Or maybe it'll just be a wow clone.. (probably).

They'd sell at most 10k "boxes" doing this, there just isn't a market/audience for old school MMOs anymore. Maybe they'd get new folks coming in seeing the shiny gfx, but those folks would leave in under a month.
