I'd tune in to @j_smedley's keynote tonight at 7 PDT - not promising anything... but I'd bet on a little EQN news. http://t.co/FtHja78kVr

BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
Smedley announces their plans of how their going to steal your money and ruin your dreams. I hope EQN succeeds and is a great game. It'll be the first SOE game allowed on my computer in a loooong time, but I doubt it'll be more than the usual SOE money grab with little support, unless you pay them money, then they'll give you a little support, but nothing like Rift or WoW.
When was the last time you played an SOE game ? Please explain how PS2, EQ, EQ2, vanguard are money grabs ? no offense man but they have to make money they have bills just like you and me. SOE has by far one of the best F2P models.
I agree SOE have made some of the best MMOs ever and as for support I have always been answered and fixed within 24 hours in any SOE game I have played.
Exactly and if not they do have chat/phone support 5 days a week.
I agree kind of wit this. The keynote is just going to be all hype and no real substance. But I always like to see the first CG of a new game so it would probably still be worth it to see for me
Relax troops, one day to go, then the tale will be told
over 20 years of mmorpg's and counting...
I am going with the opposite. I followed PS2 very closely and starting with SOE Live they went all in with showing how awesome PS2 was.
I have never been an SOE hater. PS2 has restored my hope that the future of PC Gaming is looking bright. EQN sounds like it is going to be a big step forward. I am ready!
SOE never did much in CGs as far as Ive seen... so guess it would be refreshing to see one from them, seem to remember a short one for EQ2 but cant find it now, even on the original installation DVDs
It's funny really seeing as Sony has Sony Pictures why not call them up and get CG made for some of your games right ? Ask them for the my business helps your business discount lol.
[mod edit]
In a day we will know the truth, one way or the other.
Haha. "Fake hype" Can you please elaborate how getting people excited can be faked? I mean that just sounds silly. The whole idea behind hype is not even an objective thing you can define. It is something that is generated by the players more then the media. People hype up something to a point where they expect it to be a certain thing and that is where they expect it to be; be it too high expectations or reasonable ones.
from personal experiences - i had better support from SOE than Blizzard
with SOE Live chat, i had support in less than 10 minutes
w Blizzard i was stuck waiting on the phone for over 40 minutes (twice!)
EQ2 fan sites
I would have felt lucky to get 40 minutes. Every time I called in the past it was an hour plus (pre-Cata). Lesson learned on my part was never share my account with my little brother.
Cheers!
