There's a new dev spotlight up on reddit:

1. If you had unlimited funding and could add any feature set or sets to EQ, what would you like to see? 2. When you joined the EQ team, did anything surprise you, seeing it from a development perspective? 3. What's your favorite aspect(s) of EQ? 4. Do you play any other video games besides EQ...

Agree 100% Dom. I think what makes everyone's first MMO so special is the novelty of a brand new world and style of game.. but at this point they all feel like the same game with a different coat of paint. People crave novelty and you won't get that from a WoW clone. I don't think you'll see...

😱 holy shit, I really hope that becomes a thing

Checklists as in a never-ending quest log of tasks you're supposed to accomplish to go to the next pre-determined location.

Well said, Ukerric. EverQuest worked because it established a set of rules (factions, spells/abilities, monsters, items, respawn times) and then let the players loose to do with it what they wanted. In modern games every quest, item, ability, and encounter are doled out in a very controlled...

Curious if that world ever made if past concept art. It's a shame. :(
