EQ Next

[Lyonheart]

I like the EQN-L idea.. I can just see myself bruning another bazillion hours building stuff! It will let us "invest" in the game like never before ( by possibly creating things that'll make it in the live game ). I'm not much of an artist, but i am looking forward to those of you who are.. OMG.. that alone gets me so excited!..to see what players come up with! Just based on what modders have done with other games ( elder scrolls for example ).

I am also very sceptical of any game that tries to innovate too much.. I hope EQN gets it right, but i won't get my hopes up too much. Also, i like the art style a lot! Very excited.

I almost went to this event. paid for the ticket and reserved a room.. than found out I had to move to Denver from VA..so had to cancel 8( ( ill be at next years SOE Live for sure! )

Ya on second look we are back to cartoon characters yet again .... well at least the world looks "real".

I tend to be less concerned about how realistic the graphics are. As long as the animations are smooth and there are some cool details, I can enjoy a cartoony style. Because we know how things look and move in the real world, animation that falls short tends to look awkward. WoW did a nice job with the animation and the way the game responds to character control, which I think they still do better than a lot of games that came after. As long as the animation is smooth and the characters respond seamlessly to control commands, EQN should be fine.

The various innovations are interesting. Making everything destructible and allowing players to change the world sounds great. Even if it winds up not working as expected, I bet they will learn a lot of useful lessons from it.

I've been thinking for a while that this will be the future of mmo's: provide the basic needs like combat mechanics, but provide tools to the players at the same time which they can use to create and share new content. Imagine blizzard would have released some sort of tool, pretty sure certain groups of players would have created a new continent, a new epic raid or BG. Or in other words, both the devs and the players produce new content.

I like it!

Looks more like Tera than EQ of old.

That said, I'd love to happen upon Sgt Slate via the Commonlands or an epic GM-run boss battle between CT and Innorruk =D

I miss EQ a lot. Like I do my pals of old. Good times long gone by.
