Here's something interesting.

Perhaps Eq3?

Gotta say no, after seeing the little snippets about EQ Next in the Evercracked doc, read the blurbs about it in the back of the 10th anniversary book and read Brads post... and considering the Vanguard taint...

HIGHLY unlikely he's involved.

OOh how about this idea?

Every newer MMO has dumb quests where you have to collect X of an item for whatever reason and you get some combination of coin, exp and faction for it.

What if these quests were created by players?

Here's what I mean:

Working on a tradeskill but don't feel like collecting bear pelts all afternoon?

Post a want add at the local tavern that other players can see. Have an NPC at the tavern that handles these transactions. The person posting the request pays a small fee and offers a reward of some kind (their choice maybe?).

The person completing the mission receives exp and the item and/or gold that was offered by the poster.

Quests would change every day and no two people would ever have the same exact quest. (Unless the request was reposted.)

How's that for dynamic!

For rizzle? Never played it but it's cool that somebody actually implemented that.
I should have done game design and conceptualization...

They already did this with EQ1. Most of the classic outdoor zones do not exist on live the way we know them. They have completely been redesigned from the ground up. (Sadly the gameplay will never be like classic.)

I wouldn't say most.

It's only Nektulous, Freeport, Steamfont, Misty Thicket, Commonlands, Lavastorm as far as I remember.

They have done graphical revamps of Freeport, North Ro, Oasis, South Ro, West and East Commonlands, Nektulos Forest, Misty Thicket, Toxxulia, Kerra Isle, Ocean of Tears, Lavastorm, Steamfont, Highpass, Arena, and Bazaar

They have also done non graphical revamps to about a dozen other zones. They also plan to continue to revamp many more zones with each expansion.

Right now its miserable. I went back for the ten year anniversary and of coarse I wanted to explore the old world zones the most. And Omfg, it felt like every time time you zoned the graphics completely change. It was so stupid and it destroyed immersion I dont know wtf they were thinking.

I think anyone would be interested in an everquest 3. I could definitely see them trying a console thing like Star Trek did. Especially if it isn't for a few years and consoles continue to improve.

It would be cool if they did a sort of prequel. Give people a help to build their favorite cities or meet some historical figures.

My mistake, you are correct....it has been 2-3 years since I last quit live.

The stupid graphical revamps they did were mostly for expansion release that zoned in off those areas....ex. Lavastorm for DoN...Highpass for TSS....Nektulous for DoD etc.

The new bazaar was done to make it less laggy...and it works, sucks tho as the old trader bays were way better than the design they have now.

They sort of did this with the 2nd most recent expansion, SoD....they had players travel back through rifts in time to important events, such as The Battle in Field of Bone, Oceangreen Village (Qeynos b4 it was Qeynos) etc.

Pretty much same. 'SOE: we destroy worlds'.

I really don't like much on the market now. Most of them don't seem to be making actual "mmorpg" progress, but only transforming into regular CRPG's solo/multi-player. How boring. I don't expect SOE to do anything different, anything more like mmorpg roots, just more "I can win!" game play like most everyone else.

Here's your next big thing - http://www.38studios.com/home/list

I like that they're creating a single player RPG to introduce you to the world and lore prior to the release of their flagship MMO. I've always wished Sony had made a quality RPG that took you through the various events that shaped norrath or at least a certain time during the history.

I'm hoping there will be more info at the Fan Faire in August. Everquest Next is mentioned in the Evercraked episode 5 video (towards the end). Its at the 10:19 mark if you want to get straight to the skinny.
