(A list of top-selling games from 1999)
What do I find interesting about that list? Age of Empires II has had very recent production--new production, not merely nostalgia rehashes. It's the game that won't die. It's number 7 on that list but I wonder if twenty years of gradual sales has perhaps pushed it higher.

So I advise you to lower your expectations, and then lower them again.

I hope pantheon succeeds because the devs deserve a massive payback and to live on an island with IRL elves.

I however probably wouldn't design the game the way they are though. We'll see. I am too much in love with EQ. I don't even want EQ reskinned - maybe just more original EQ style expansions/zones. If I had EQ to do all over, would be the same engine, same kinda models, same kinda stuff, but I would redo the classic world and give the cities more room. Add more classic 1-50 zones. Neriak would have a 4th and 5th section, quarter, zone. And spread out the loot more, make it rarer. There'd be a few more leveling zones themed around the more urban areas so that Dark elves could lvl up on the wood elf slums, etc. And it wouldn't have a PvE release. PvP only.

Barbs would get some more land.

There'd be a bigger city off of village off of EK.

The underwater areas would be fleshed out with reefs, less flat zone geometry, and more stuff. I would create a mer-elf city of prexus worshipping elves that when they were in the water their model would switch to a mer-tail, and on land they would get legs.

Faeries would be a playable race [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I believe this is the single biggest trip up to all the original EQ devs… they could not top their own first labor of love. They got caught in the dream.

A dream no one really expected to be anything big. It was a percentage of PC players during the years when PC was much smaller. Funny how it even got made considering the way things are done today. Maybe an 8 bit indie.
