Pre Alpha EQ Video

[iruinedyourday]

Hey guys, Not sure how familier yall are with this video but its neat to see the game 2 years before launch!

I imagine it would have been pretty exciting to work on this game back then!

hope you enjoy, it only has 2.5k views so Im sure at least some of you haven't seen it!

:D

i have the files that are rumored to be the original stuff that the eq dev's sent in as a 'proof of concept'. its a very gritty version that looks like the video and has some random junk in it. if i can find it ill upload it again.

[iruinedyourday]

That would be super cool! I would love to see that!

What's sad is I recognize every landmark in that footage.. Cool link.

haha I know right? its so 'late 90's behind the curtains press demo'.

[iruinedyourday]

Oh, here is another one, this is even earlier! Less recognizable than the first video.

I wonder why they voted against blowing up Naggy with fireballs.

[quido]

That's much too vulgar a display of power, klocke.

[Halius]

I'm so glad that they changed the character models from the ones in that video lol. That video is awesome though.

[phacemeltar]

i think those character models are pretty sweet. would like to see updated textures on them.

[Brut]

Naggy seems to have a kunark wurm head in that.

Also what place is that at 11:14? Something not fully drawn by clip plane?

I remember seeing an even shittier PLAYABLE demo that was seemingly in some castle room. Obviously very limited.

That is awesome! If you could make them downloadable to share with us nerds, I would love to get my hands on em :) Im just glad someone out there has them!

I wonder who has the pre-alpha test stuff! I would looove to explore that almost Norrath world.

[Jorgam]

Pretty epic! But I have to say, that caster soloing a dragon at the end clearly turned out to be untrue about the game lol. Thanks for sharing the video!

i can uplaod that somewhere else if you have a more preferred upload spot, you do need 256 bit color to run it so just right click and change settings
