Live modern EQ1 would dominate wow...

[starkind]

there will obviously never be another game like eq probably ever again maybe until we do it in VR iteration

or w/e the next fad is to take after PCs and movies and stuff

but it still won't be EQ it'll be something a lil diff

it has to be hard enough 2make and full of enough limitations and niavety 2 make a wierd buggy strange unique game like eq was made by basically poor ppl on an extended line of massive credit like verant and 989 and sony eq was supposed to be making sports games but they did all this work and had to make a studio to pump something out b4 it was truly finished and was patched a bunch

EQ was some rich persons love letter to nerds and Brad's dreams. aka firiona vie

Be my guest to flail your arms around like an idiot. Remember to share photos so we can make jokes.

Mobile phones and social media already did.

It was one of the developers. One of his table top games had an elf city named Firiona Vie. Keith Parkinson turned that into the elf chic with huge knockers that we all appreciate today. EQ developers later turned into an elf city with the same name.

But my good friends Kevin Burns (EQoA) and Tony Garcia (EQ2), along with all the other designers and artists contributed incredibly to the content design and quest creation. A great many of the now familiar characters and places of Norrath actually came from an old pen and paper RPG campaign world I created as a teenager. Tony was a player in that campaign so he and I worked well together and had similar goals for what we wanted the world of Norrath to be. It is incredible and very surreal to hear people talk about all the names of our old characters and such. “Firiona Vie,” for example, was actually in my original campaign an ancient Elven city, not a hot Elf babe. Here is a bit of previously unrevealed trivia: the name, “Firiona Vie,” in that campaign, translated from Elvish meant “The Flowering Place.” It seemed to be a fitting name for EQ’s beautiful Elven spokesmodel.
