This is a serious question - no trolling shit or anything like that. What happens when EQNext comes out (it is being shown in 4 days) and lets say the majority of the server tries and likes it. Even if the population is cut in half will Velious still be released? Will it really be worth the effort for 400 people? Will other players quit due to the population hit? I am not trying to start some kind of flame war here - just concerned EQNext could kill the server before DDOS does.

There's a nearly 100% probability that my POS comp won't run EQNext, so... I'll be here. That's what.

Seriously though, P99 is always in competition with new games. Unless it comes with tinfoil resistant mind control tech, it'll be fine.

A $600 computer from Costco can run EQnext. It isnt coming out for months and months at the earliest, you have time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

SOE Devs said that one of the surprises of the reveal at SOE live will be how far along it actually is. They purposefully made it sound like it was far off and it's actually in a friends and family alpha stage I believe they said, probably gonna hear about closed beta signups soon.

I would not be surprised if they were handing out closed beta invitations at SOELive, with Beta starting within a month or so.

But I could easily be wrong.

I just got my Alpha/Beta information yesterday so I'm assuming its much farther along then they say.

Aight... a few days ahead of my schedule. Still not surprised though.

I expect the game in stores by Christmas.

I don't get why people say it will suck.... Historically its somewhere between the might and probably suck.

There is a HUGE hole in the market for harder/more difficult MMORPGs. Its not the majority of the market by any means, but damn a good chunk of people miss dungeons that have some danger involved.

EQ is a bit of a grindy game, but its countered by the fact that you can do some interesting stuff sub max level. Frankly if they just used EQ1's design with some better class design & more dungeons it would be grand.

EQnext is going to be a groundbreaking, genre defining, next-gen MMORPG experience. With an evolving world where players will feel like they are truly having an impact. It's a sandbox, that means players decide where to go and when. YOU are in control of your gaming experience with the new revolutionary Pay to Play Your Way system that will be in place.
