I kind of look forward to it. Leveling up a character is just a barrier to what most people consider the 'real game' nowadays anyways. So what's the point of it really? Just a padding to give them more time to touch up the 'real game'? Why not just put people in the 'real game' from the very beginning?
From what the developers are saying, it sounds like multi classing is just a way for you to play without having to make an alt. You simply play your first choice and when you realize you don't want to be a ranger, then you can change to a rogue or wizard. Of course you'll have to level back up as a wizard, but you'll keep your character and associated reputations, etc.

We really need to know what thier intentions are with combat.. How set are they or is it still early enough in development to tweak it?
Tad you should be able to live blog now, if you can see this forum you can get on the other site.
i'll be happy if there's a sense of dread when exploring instead of just being able to steamroll everything that's in your way.

OK, first off... Let's spend some time doing LoLore! through interpretive sand art.... check.
Now, am I getting this right that well before the game will be released they will release this "Landmark" game of "EQ meets minecraft" then basically use it to farm free design for the game? Was I hearing that right?
SO everybody can unlock and learn skills from every class. My bet is there will still be only 4 viable end game builds.
Destructible environments. Well, either they have to self heal, or the whole damn world is instances so it will always be "your" little area you broke the floor in. My bet is on the latter.
I only saw parts of it as the wife was streaming it on the TV and I was working in my office. Was there anything at all that really popped on the game, or was the sandpainting the highlight? (only read back around 10 pages... you guys are maniacs with the posting speed)

They will do what GW2 did - lie about it right up to the last minute. In GW2 they said they are going to "hold their ground" against all the dumb fuck complaints about it being too hard. Then at the last minute boom, noob mode engaged.
Anyone else notice how the Kerran & Human were seemingly using AE combat skills, but not damaging each other?
Some kind of remote hint at a PVP mechanic.

The world heals itself , already stated. They have different options as to how it heals itself. It can either be on a timer, or a player can do something to "heal." Say a bridge gets destroyed, it can be set to where the bridge comes back after so long or it can be set so a player has to construct a new bridge, but either way, the destruction will not be permanent, unless the developers want it to be.
Considering how little we know of EQN, i don't think anyone really is qualified to answer your question

Why in the WORLD in a video that doesn't even have mob AI would their AOE, something that NEVER hits your friends in other mmos hit friendly targets in this video.
I enjoyed what I saw, caveat being if they can execute on all their grand ideas successfully. I don't mind the stylized art direction at all even though I tend to prefer a more realistic style. The artistry looks good, pixar-esque, and was impressed by the facial expressions.

Yea, the broad strokes are a wet dream really. I am pleasantly surprised at what they're trying to do. I hope they can manage it. The devil is in the details here, and I still want there to be a highly scripted well balanced PvE game at the core of all these other things. That part of the game doesn't even have a skeleton yet, so we'll just have to wait and see.
