In before some genius chimes in saying how much Brad sucks (after playing a game by Brad non stop for 18 years and posting on a forum about a Brad's game).

Just another cash in by known drug addict Mcquaid. This is a man who undeniably stole pain medication from his own employees during his tenure on Vanguard. It's laughable that people are under the delusion that he had anything to do with what made EQ magical originally. Personally if it ever is actually released I expect a barebones hack job but more than likely vaporware is in the picture more than an actual release.

1000 points to Izmael. Caiu takes over the role of thefloydian.

Have 0 expectations from it and there is a small chance they'll be exceeded.

Vanguard had a monk class that could feign death. The class name (monk) and the skill name (feign death) were exactly the same as EQ as well. I didn't see VG getting sued.

you guys derailed the shit out of this thread

can we please get back to talking about why bards aren't in the original release ?

[Murri]

Yea lets get this back on the important topic of bard not being in the game at release. Everyone knows bards are the most well respected and skilled players of everquest. Perhaps they are worried all of the best players will only be playing one class?

I remember being pumped about the prospect of the game three years ago. The game was projected to come out this year in it's failed kickstarter. That probably won't happen unless it's an early alpha version. I have my doubts about it but honestly I would love for it to launch in the next year or two. I want to believe, I'm just older now and more cautious about expectations.

[fadetree]

Yeah, I hear that. We'll see. I hope it starts alpha or whatever relatively soon.

I'm hyped for it to release but trying to reign myself in in case something goes terribly wrong.

Their PR guy on reddit answered a question about MMO development time:

Typically they take around ~5 years but that is not a set number, they are a huge undertaking and can take much longer.
We are around ~3 years in, looking good and making great progress towards testing

I think they said a while back that they want to be in testing for around a year, so whenever pre-alpha starts you probably have a good idea of their release

I remember being so hyped up for Diablo 3.. like years worth of hype then it dropped and I didn't like it nearly as much as d2. Hope that doesn't happen with this game
