That is to say, you could say it was built with love or dedication from people who enjoy playing games like everquest but they really don't know what they are doing tbh.

That's a lingering question that's been at the front of my mind recently. Brad's name is what attracted funding and attention. Now it's...wait, who are these people again? Just because they haven't done it doesn't mean they can't, but boy. Seems pretty far fetched that they'll deliver something really good that people will want to sink thousands of hours into.

People raged against maps because they associate them with stuff like planes of power eq or world of warcraft. A good game should have a general in game map with a mostly topographical look and major landmarks, to help people orient and add to immersion. You dont need to have every fucking thing on it. Maybe in a starting area - sure, yes, you do put npcs on it that are like "new player resource npc here" but not beyond. Instead, the backlash to overly mapped (and therefore overly railroaded and closed) is to ditch maps entirely, which is shitty.

fwiw I popped into Joppa's stream yesterday and he said there will be an in game map, and iirc he described it almost exactly like you did. Topography, landmarks, but no player waypoint telling you exactly where you are.

Fuck that - I want to hit Sense Heading 50,003,202 times to determine if I am facing north or not.

I also want to bring out the Packard Bell 486-SX33 with a Math Co and my Voodoo 2 card to run this thing. If we are going all in, let's go all in.

Brad did the lore and the world. I'm not sure what at all he had left to do before he passed other than do the same for expansions and do promotional streams/events.

Tbh I don’t think Brad did anything for this game besides conceive of it initially, advertise it and set really aggressive dates in public settings without talking to the team developing the game.

They seemed to have better funding at the time and were on a better development path. They "remade" the game like 10 times since he died.

Tony "Sir Lucan" Garcia wrote the lore. He was a former Dev for EQ. He cuts meat now for a supermarket. Rich from MNM interviewed him on the Loving Robot podcast. If the game doesn't release or publish, then no one gets any bonuses like they did with EQ, that's why they didn't want to sell it to another company. I release be surprised if there were a lawsuit with the former devs on the proceedings of the sales of the game coming down the pipe. Or the lone surviving daughter of Brad.

Why has no one made a good in game mapping system?

Make it so that fog of war clears as greater percentage of population visits each of the locations and mobs become visible if you’ve killed them before. Resource nodes and mobs provide x% greater amount resource/exp based on cartography skill.

Fucking gamify it somehow. Give the explorer some sort of in game value. Completionist armor or teleport clickies or some fucking thing. Figure it out.
