Oh man, I would never play EQ on a console. Too much going on with 8 available spells, and text input. New world has 3 combat abilities. Action combat dodge rolls and stuff would work really smoothly as well on a controller. I'd likely also want to use a keyboard together with it for group chat.

EQOA wasn't really like EQ, it was streamlined for the console and was kinda like cruise control. It was still a pretty fun game though despite what some of the hardcore EQ hipsters might tell you, but they tend to only like EQ and no other games at all lol. A keyboard was definitely required.

I would of stuck with it but I ended up getting into FF11 when it launched and couldn't really justify a sub because I was already juggling a main in EQ at the time.

Huh, interesting. I had never even looked into it. Didn't realize it was so different.

I played the EQOA beta, which incidentally also meant I had free copy of the game and 1-month subscription after release. It wasn't very good and I didn't play more after that, but it was kind of nice to be in a populated version of the "Old World" again, considering what EQ Live had become by that point.

Anyway about New World, the caster class design seems too weak for me to want to play it.

Haha, I didn't even know the streamer contest was a thing.

I just remembered a super cool PvP feature that impressed me in a beta. Crouching (reduces range players can see your nameplate) and going prone (further reduces range to like 5 meters unless someone mouses over you directly) being functionally useful was such a cool concept.

Saw a video on reddit of a group of like 5 or 6 ice gauntlet users prone in the bushes along a road as a 20-30 person squad rolled past. They jumped out and aoe'd like 3/4 of them down before dying. Super useful mechanic for ambushing high-traffic areas as well as an excape mechanism in high-foliage areas.

I look forward to diving into the pvp end of things at launch. I did very little in the closed beta.

There is no level range for PvP, so a level 20 can get attacked by a level 40, but there is gear/level scaling, so while the higher level will have better passives from effects on gear and higher weapon proficiency, it's possible to take down someone 20-30 levels over you if you outplay them pretty hard. I kinda like this approach as it opens up a lot more pvp opportunities instead of seeing flagged people all over the place that you aren't allowed to fight since they are 5 levels above or below you.
