The issue is MMORPG's arent the "thing" anymore. MOBA's, FPS's are more popular and are more geared to the younger twitchy/ADHD generation. You will never get another MMORPG that will be the size of EQ or WoW during it peak.Even though i only played EQ for 13 years as i got older putting in the time to do it was not worth it. And companies are in this business to make money.

I don't know how well a real EQ remake would actually do. I have serious doubts if it would be financially successful. | |||

Pantheon is the best (and only?) hope for a new hardcore mmorpg... if that fails, we're stuck here forever.

A good read, agreed with the vast majority of it. I've been waiting to drop money on an MMO that reaches EQ standards; but so far, aside from free trials and a month or two of subscription here and there, no game has really locked me in the way EQ still can.
No-risk and minimal punishment in current MMOs make me feel like I really didn't earn anything, and I'm just mindlessly playing through. Gone are the days when a player or group needed to really consider their next move, be quick and concise to pull off the mob kill or quest, or else everything will fall apart horribly. That created real bonds and teamwork of which you can't find anymore. You don't even need to talk with or group with other players to reach end-game in MMOs anymore, hell you can even pay extra to SKIP RIGHT TO THE END, pay for some more awesome gear, then get bored and maintain your account just so you can tell people you have a fully geared Deathknight or some bullshit. Definitely looking forward to was Pantheon will be offering. | ||

Just give me an mmo version of fftactics or ff1 where I only have to do stuff like every 10 mins to level my char.
My favorite part about EQ was that it was no more effort/attention-consuming than D&D. I bought FFXIV hoping that it would be derivative of the single player gameplay, not a button-masher. I was very wrong. | ||
