Saw a preview of the EQNext intro yesterday. I think EQ and VG players are going to love it!

It has features that Jeff & I wanted to put in EQ & VG (& a bunch of other great ideas) but the tech wasn't there yet. Well, it's there now!

Love those comments!
My 2 favorite MMOs of all time!
+ The game that should not be mentioned by name...
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
This is one hype train that is going to de-rail quickly me thinks...
the devs cannot possible live up to all the fantasies about this game that have been floating around.
Like I said in a previous post.. I feel sorry for them already.
If done correctly I would get very excited about this.
What?
1. It's moved toward a sandbox
2. They say it's something new/different, not just eq reshashed.
Vanguard had a Lot of potential , a lot. It just was too far ahead of its time to be done right, and the big one, it was pushed into launch way to fast before it could be completed. But in all fairness , that game has some really cool ideas for an MMO.
Ah...that explains all of the salivating going on.
Yes! I knew it!
This proves conclusively that we will zone repeatedly running through the middle of cornfields!
To heck with PS2!
RIP Ribbitribbitt you are missed, kid.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

this doesn't mean much, he works for soe lol
he basically just said what smed has been saying.
we will see if this game comes anywhere near the hype its generated so far. so done speculating, lets see what this game is about already.
Brb, googling Brad McQuaid.
They can, actually. It's not the devs problem, it's the managers problem.
The main reason games fail expectations is because the game was not developed sincerely, and maybe even because the money was spent badly (SW:TOR - did it really need all that expensive voice acting?).
The problem is that a lot of managers think they can just cut corners and make their money anyway. And in some cases, they do. That's a thing, but it also explains why games can often be of very low quality. I don't think the expectations people have are even that big, most would be happy with a less buggy and more polished SWG copy and SWG would be so easy to make with present technology it's not even funny.
Do not underestimate developers.
Favorite MMO: Vanilla WoW
Currently playing: GW2, EVE
Excited for: Wildstar, maybe?
Potential, yes but it was still Brad's words that hyped this train wreck that I was so looking forward to. He knew the problems plaguing the launch but still tried to sell it. Too many have done this with games and they should be skeptically heard. My thoughts only though.
Very good to see comments from Brad McQuaid. I always respected his vision and drive to make a solid MMO.... one that I would want to play.
I followed Vanguard a long time before it launched, got into late Alpha/early Beta and got to see that game at a very early stage. We all knew the game was rough and shipped way to soon... regardless of the circumstances.
I believed/agreed with most everything Brad ever said about Vanguard. I believed it was going to be more a successor to EQ than EQ2 - and I truly think Brad wanted it to be.
No point in beating a dead horse on that account - but for Brad to say those nice things about EQN speaks volumes to me.
Please Please O' MMO gods of fate and destiny - let EQN be the ONE. PLEASE!!!!
"Youre in our world now!"
And the hype meter just jumped another 100 places. I dearly hope this game lives up to it.
