Can I be the guy who presents the strongly worded letters while being passive aggressive but trying to act friendly? They are the glue that binds the association together. "Mr. Smith, how's the wife doing? Nice weather we're having huh. Oh, by the way, we notice you're lacking a bit of both friendship and magic on your plot."

IMO Gold sub will probably get you three plots, Silver will be one, and free accounts will need to pay a flat fee, say $5, per plot.
a system like this seems likely to me. its the same sort of pattern that SOE has had in their other games, i don't see why they'd change now.

Made me think of Lumbergh.

Its the pattern for their worn-out ex-subscription games.

I'm thinking Landmark, like PS2, will allow all gameplay to be accessed for free (just slower), and monetize through strictly optional sub (a speed boost only, like more harvest yield) that is not seen as a paywall, and through player studio

@The_Rexmaster Landmark *is* EQN. Not same gameplay but from a features perspective. EQN is extra stuff on top. Must have LM first.
"Must have LM first?"

What does that suppose to mean?

Landmark is the tool set SoE is going to use to build EQ Next. So basically they can't finish EQ Next until all the tools have been implemented into Landmark, i.e. Landmark must be released first.

Alpha here. I enjoyed Minecraft so much that after seeing the state of their development and building tools that exist right now that I really think this is going to be cool. So.. Tuco, down for another mega project? Ive already got something in mind.

So basically, when the world was being developed in the early stages on EQN, there were a lot of people just having fun with the tools being used building stuff, and someone on the team (I'm not sure who exactly) got it in their head that this could be a fun game unto itself. So EQ:N Landmark was born. The rest of the ideas just snowballed from there. The easiest way to describe them is:

Landmark - Make anything you want (within guidelines) anywhere you want. 1 continent will be restricted to Norrathian themed creation. Everything else is fair game.

EQ: Next - Norrathian-based Fantasy MMO.

I'm not on the team so I can really comment more, but it DOES seem like there is still some confusion about the differences between the two, hence my post.

Next livestream Wed Dec 11th 4pm PST about "more in-game building, as well as discuss other features of Landmark, including information about harvesting/mining and character naming"

EverQuestNext - Twitch

Their livestreams are mostly awful. I'll probably play Starbound or prison architect and catch the highlights later.

Odd. I signed up with two accounts just today. Key is remembering passwords I guess.

Or do what I do and write them down.

Is it sad I'm still holding out for a press alpha key and haven't folded in on a founders pack yet? Cheap cheap cheap...

Well if you have to buy in you're less beholden to their good will in reviews, so threaten them.

The entirety of alpha is likely to be under a big fat NDA, so letting the press in who are not willing to pay at this point is not really in their best interest. You could hold out for a beta press invite, though.
