IF RED99 IS STILL FUN I AM NOT TRYING TO RECRUIT YOUR SOCK.

the worlds are huge and the terrain varies tremendously. this is a huge perk for because EQ, while it seemed big when i was a kid, seems so damn small now. I really hate zones, open world is a feature I hope to god will be in eq next should that game be any good.

Even if me and 4 other guys are rifleman, it is very unlikely we are the same build. You can really make your character unique, there is no min/maxing (no best build) because there is so much customization. Also you aren't locked into a certain class, you can always forget what you've learned and do something else.

Still cant speak for the pvp, after getting slaughtered 3 times I've been blueing it up. I love being able to wonder 5 to 6 clicks from any town, set up a camp and hunt. I can gather resources and craft at my camp during downtime or grind on some other skills such as singing/dancing.

Economy is completely player driven, most items are player made.Player towns is a huge +++++++ The Idea of creating a self sustaining guild completele with is own town really excites me. The player town we live in today has everything outside a shuttle port (kinda like a boat) which is coming soon. Here is an image of a player town. the homes and other things are made by players as well as plotting and placing the buildings.

"I actually like SWG more. SWTOR and SWG are just 2 completely different genres of MMOs, and I personally like Sandbox MMO's one hell of a lot more than Themepark. In Sandboxes I tend to always be doing something, in Themepark(doing it right this second in SWTOR), I end up spending my time sitting in the capitol city waiting for raids or groups to form or staring at the auction house while I watch a movie since I'm locked out of everything. In SWG I was getting stuff for my house/ship, hanging out with guildies, setting up a shop, bounty hunting people, warring another guild, or random PvPing.

The problem is most MMO players now can't handle the freedom offered through sandbox MMO's and would rather be on rails the entire time. They get overwhelmed and confused and would rather be told what to do and have a set path to do it. This is why Themepark MMO's like WoW and SWTOR will always be more successful and why we'll probably never see a major company make another sandbox MMO again. There is just no money in it compared to Themepark MMO's."

read this in some thread comparing SWG to SWTOR. i think this can be applied to all mmos of today. Hope EQ Next takes notes.

I came across, what looked to be a small player made village outside of tattoine. What are these for ? I couldn't go in or destroy anything ? One was condemned because they owed the empire money ? (LOL) this game is going to be fun... I'll on tonight on a new char cause I screwed up the tutorial..

Guessing windows only right? Might be finally time to build a new box @ home... need some new monitors too... time to spend some $$$

[SamwiseRed]

Think there's are guides out there to run this on a Mac or nix box

[Massive Marc]

PS: the controls suck in this game, there's a guide on their site to change them...

[heartbrand]

set the controls to EQ in the options makes a world of a difference

[SamwiseRed]

Yes there is an option to change your controls to everquest style. I said how to somewhere is this thread

[Massive Marc]

wtf ? I only saw one option for camera to set "EQ-Like" , is there a full EQ setting I missed ?
