Not really. Maybe it's not what you were looking for, but maybe it's still going to be good. Or not. Who knows, but it's not exactly a baffling concept.

I'm not the only one who noticed that Butler called no-fast-travel 'denial of service', am I? I'm honestly not sure if he's being sincere in using that phrase, or just fucking with us. He has to be aware that that's become a slogan for their (well, his) detractors, and that he's winning no points in calling it that, right?

What kind of nonsense is that?
Most of us here have played enough MMO'S for the last decade or more to know WHAT WE DON"T LIKE, and EQN is hitting the ball out of the park on all the types of shit us relics would NOT LIKE to see in a MMO.
It might be the best game ever, just maybe not for me.

its going to be dragon nest with(i hope) less bugs. no idea why anyone thinks differently. it will probably be a blast for a month or so but lack in longevity for all besides the achievement whores.
all that being said, of course i will play. dragon nest was a nice change of pace and a ton of fun for

My guess is when Ponytail says "begin speculation" what he means is "someone please tell us how this will work"
You said what kind of nonsense is that and concluded by agreeing exactly with what he said.

Yeah? My 6 year old has been eating for as long as you have been playing MMOs. He refuses to try bacon because he knows what he doesn't like. But just like you and eqnext, I know he'll try it and probably like it.

I'm a page late on the guns, but come on. In a world where we have steam powered gnome robots and icebreakers (before even getting into the recent EQ shit like giant mecha-robots and cannons), I don't see why guns are so immersion breaking. I think one reason EQ was such a cool world was exactly because of how different everything felt. You had places like ocean of tears with random birdmen, savanna-like areas like the karanas, ak'anon, kelethin, mistmore, halas, kunark, catpeople on an island...pretty much everywhere in EQ felt like it had it's own detached vibe and that uniqueness was what made it so cool. I hope thats what they try and recreate, rather than "is this the EQ I expect them to give me.?" Seriously, they could have just named this game something else entirely and saved so much complaining if it was a new franchise.
EQ was one of the most random games I've ever played. Travel 3 zones in any direction and there was bound to be something that made you go, "what?" the first time.

He's been working on games for 25 years, so he must do something, he was also on Planetside 1.That's a very large and "impressive" noun, but I was looking for more of a verby kind of thing.
Honestly my main issue with the guns thing is given their current direction of "everyone needs to be allowed to be and do everything , and easily too" , they won't be rare at all. It will be common to have multiple folks in group packing their musket/flintlock/gnome tinkered M-16 whatever.
Raids will end up being something that sounds and looks like something from a Civil War skirmish instead of bows and swords and staffs being the main weapons.
Just isn't what I look for in a fantasy mmo is all.
Well honestly ,if the gnomes can tinker single shot rifles , wouldn't a gnome immediately see the possibility of a rotating cylinder that holds lots more shots ?
A few months later, voila , you've got the hand cranked , gnome gatling gun on a cart.
No need any more for wizards fireball , or those quaint little bows , just have the gnome gatling gun group make sure someone can keep the dragons attention long enough to get setup and then open fire.
I mean what wouldn't be Everquesty about that ?
