Said every game developer ever that puts out a MMO game.

Thought I told you all

I sat down with Dave georeson and basically talked with him for over an hour about eqnext at the Westin bar I bought him a gin and tonic and bam he asked for my email and the day after I got an email from him saying I'm the first person in his new "beta invites" folders.


I'm haven't been bothering him because I don't want to seem like a crazy person but when the time comes I want to try and get TMO guild invites for beta.

Has there been any more news about it since 2012? I'm very interested to hear what the pvp is going to be like.

Smedly has been saying that same phrase for every MMO since EQ. Do you like Free Realms as much as I do !?

[Hasbinbad]

it's going to have a feature where you can sell/buy shit farm skills / other features / from your phone.

this will revolutionize mmos bros.

SOE literally just released an MMO; Planetside 2. They just had a chance to innovate, take substantial risks, or deviate from the status quo MMO. They didn't. They released a re-skinned and tweaked Planetside 1. Why is anyone convinced EQ Next will be any different?

How would you explain to a boardroom full of MBA's that the key to a quality Everquest reboot entails a step away from the casual mechanics that they likely still believe actually attract casual players?

The second coming of MMO Jesus Christ isn't going to come from an established gaming company, but from an indie developer or startup company that has the clarity of purpose and industry acumen to release something new and fun.
