We already knew it was playable, so no news there.
But when he says the game changed, I think he means alot happened development-wise since he last played it. Why else would he say the team kicks butt? And it makes sense the team would be doubling their efforts towards the home stretch.
Am I the only one curious what changed within a few days? Unless he means, he played the game a few days ago, and the world was different when he logged in (Which they say is part of a sandbox/MMORPG)
At first when I skimmed that I interpreted it as the game wasnt playable a few days ago, but I think the first thing I suggested is maybe it? i doubt any serious concepts/decisions changed within the last few days..

Yeah I really don't know how to interpret it or why he deleted it
But my best interpretation is that they are testing the game and still adding things
or they could just be testing the game and the whole team thing was them building things sandbox style
Just a harmless tweet that was deleted not sure why it doesn't seem like a big deal
Good news for people hoping for a playable demo at SoE Live
...
Well, we know it's playable from TenTonHammer and MMORPG's private demo. But it's just a demo.
It's probably been "playable" for over a year, but they could still have tons of design and balance to do. For all we know you can only be one class at this point.
This confirms it! Wookie Jedi arena's where only PvE status can be attained, the rest of the world is Starbucks Latte's hurling cinnamon at each other in their own unique form of PvP that sucks you in from 4 zones away and forces you to disrobe and hand over all your items. Then installs a virus that spams your grandparents with Country Western themed porno emails.
I hope you have this face ready by early August.....
See my avatar? That's been my face since they announced EQN.
Honestly, I can see the good in just about every game. As I already said, I even managed to find the good in Aliens: Colonial Marines and that was probably one of the worst screw ups in recent history.
The fact that the journalists are giving it rave reviews, the concepts talked about by Dave Georgeson and John Smedley I completely agree with and it's another chance for me to experience Norrath again.
Seriously, look at my avatar. That's the only face I'll be wearing come August 2nd.
The way I interpret is that they had a playable build when he came back (which indicates they didn't before), so it was deleted as it shows the game is nowhere close to done.
He said it just changed in a few days.
So maybe it's more likely he got to play a new build?
Maybe its kinda crazy but the emphasis put to "PLAY WITH THE GAME" could mean that it is virtually a living world and
this game is more than playable. Maybe there is this advanced AI and computer characters of npc factions are CHANGING THE WORLD by building, modyfying etc.
So when Dave returned from his trip he was astonished what he saw as the game plays by itself.

Now thats a real sandbox with sandworms
"Man it changed in just a few days" can be read as supporting this proposition.
It would certainly be a sandbox with sandworms if that is the case, and a genre changing game.

Don't ignore the part about the game changing after a few days.
I think he may have deleted it because he didn't want to rub it in our faces that he gets to play EQN and we don't... More likely he just didn't want people to interpret that EQN will be playable at SOE Live.

"Play with the game", for a developer, is not "play the game".
I've got to stop reading the site, the posters turn me into Lewis Black, and IT'S NOT HEALTHY!

LOL so funny.
Seriously though, people keep stressing like it's not going to have open world pvp.
It's going to have FFA PVP servers. It's going to have PVE servers for people who don't want open world pvp.
The big JS already said it.
It's going to be the best PVE game.
It's going to be the best PVP game.
It's going to be the best game that's ever been released.

Nope, not how sandboxes work, as the above tweet so eloquently illustrates.

Unfortunately for you. You're wrong lol.

Yes sandboxs can work with different server rules, take Wurm Online which is imo a total sandbox game.
Not Age Of Wushu which is a sandpark or ArcheAge which is a sand park or DFUW or EvE.
Wurm Online is minecraft, df on steroids but it has PVE servers and PVP servers.
There goes your claim. No point in ever saying that again, is there, you have been proven wrong.
Oh, and it's looking like EQN will have different server rules which i know you were hoping it would not lol.
IMO EQN will be a sandpark anyway.
What can I do in Wurm?
You forgot to say your favorite line, let me say it for you.
"deal with it"
This confirms it!

I knew it! I hate it when I'm right!
Thanks. I forgot to mention that they need to deal with it.
Also to the post above, thanks for writing that up for me. I often grow tired of explaining what sandbox means to these kids.

This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!
Fuck me sideways, this made me laugh so damn hard. I mean, literally, laugh, out loud. At 1:20am in the middle of my house.

And how many game companies made this claim and how many actually fulfilled such a presumptuous claim?
And yet they don't complain about 'cunt'.
