    EQ - The Sleeper

    I actually think this is exactly right. In general things work, but there are a thousand bugs. It looks like some progress is being made to fix bugs, but the sheer amount of work is enormous and the admin "team" (effectively just Kegz) probably don't have the resources (man-hours, maybe ability...

    EQ - The Sleeper

    Server had a long way to go when I gave it a quick run a couple of months ago. I only spent a couple of hours testing, mostly in Butcherblock and gfay, but I saw quite a few problems in that time. For example, non-agro mobs moved too fast, which made wanderers extremely dangerous and playing a...

    EQ Never

    My take-aways would be: 1. That sounds incredibly fast, especially considering we don't know anything about the game. 2. This sounds like another big blow to the "I hope EQ Next is a true EQ1 successor" crowd.

    EQ Never

    It is amazing that the theorycrafting just ran right over this coy little release data declaration or whatever Smedley is trying to say. Sounds like the days of racing to finish Everquest expansions are officially dead and over. It even seems like a he's talking about a PvP game, at least to...

    EQ - The Sleeper

    Does that mean they are going to launch with Velious/Kunark open, or "available" in the sense of having it done/tested to be open when appropriate? If the former, that seems like a bad idea. The latter sounds awesome. Voting on additional expansions seems fine and a way to differentiate their...

    EQ - The Sleeper

    Be happy when EQ Classic comes out, but do not wait for it. A quick visit to their forum shows people waiting for it since 2009. Damn thing has been in development longer than most actual games.

    EQ Never

    EQ was a fucking pernicious game to attract half a million players. That's hundreds of thousands of people staring at a spell book for 35 levels, logging off in disgust after not being able to find a healer, losing their corpses in the dark of gfay and tox. I wonder what kind of numbers EQ would...

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    Yeah, I wish more people played. Single player just isn't that much fun, though. I'm in awe of the people grinding to max on their own. Not for me anymore. So. anyone interested in getting a casual scheduled group going? My dream scenario would be to get a couple of people, up to a full group...

    EQ Never

    You're right, these exploits/emergent tools should have been embraced and incorporated into class identity in the franchise as a whole. Druids and Wizards should have been quad kiting in EQ2, monks should have been FD pulling etc etc. Of course some semblance of thought needs to be put into...
