I want the feeling of pure danger

I want to have that old feeling of danger, possibly worst than ever before. Not all the time, I hope VR Realms can strike that perfect balance.
By perfect balance, I'm talking about times where you feel safe too, where you can do stuff by yourself (get your shit together), or solo that one level so you can even up with your friends. But more often times where you have to make a decision to leave that safe haven and do the unthinkable if we as a group decide to venture.
I'm a little unclear how quest work. Guessing from the Stream footage, they may not be kill 10 pigs in a farmers field. But more Skyrim like where you have to cross great lands to get to the objective. It's hard to say, VR Reams may have decided to mess around getting to different points just to display how groups work together in the footage we had......Quest may be robust, or we could still have the 10 pigs too. I'm hoping for more robust !
What ever they decide, I PRAY THEIR NOT CHAIN QUEST. Chain quest make it hard to get players together. Who is on part 4?........Looking for others on part 4, anyone?.....You get the drift !
Like in Skyrim, I want unknown surprises, like that chest behind that tree or a great sward hidden in a craves after falling down a secret hole hidden in the tall grass.
Like in the footage, I want anomalies to overcome. Not just an Orc camp, but one guarded by nasty archers, or have a group stumble on a strange object that could weaken an unsuspecting party for an hour, or take a chance and have everyone cross a weaken bridge over looking a deep gorge. All this with great music.
All this in trying to accomplish a single quest !
I day dream a lot, I could make great stories in my head. I just hope it becomes a reality

I'm sitting here thinking of a good come back but I can't........You got me good

That should get you going.
Hey they said it's not for everybody. Remember that when you lose connection / power / etc on a boatride!
Then there was that time Choon and Froon aggroed my RL friends group and we panicked and ran in multiple directions. The screams of terror over the phone was the best part and how we all laughed at our panic later was the best.
My first trip into Unrest...and hearing a Hag on the other side of the hedge scared me enough I ran back to the tunnel exit. I wasn't aggroed, it was just the that creepy sound and the real fear of what in the hell was over there...
I haven't played much of anything in the last few years, hardly any MMO's really, but a few open world games like Dying Light did a good job of making me fear the consequences of my actions. I hope that's proof to myself that I'm not too jaded to get deeply immersed back into a real replacement for what I always felt EQ was.
Just like how I remember EQ looking way better than it actually does in my screenshot archive, I hope I am not hyping it up to much.

I guess its not worth getting pumped up for a game that not releasing for a long time
Harsh death penalties don't scare me. I am far more disappointed when I die, frustrated about the lack of ways my character had to deal with the issue. I am annoyed with the often insane time penalties / requirements an 'old-school' death imposed, the only thing worse is a recovery timer that guarantees you have to stay in the game longer than intended. I would feel dumb when I did something dumb that I could have prevented. Fear doesn't enter the equation. Never did.
I have no real interest in games that want to punish me excessively for a character's death. I might have simply lost my internet connection, or the power to the house may have gone out -- why am I facing the same penalty as if I had done something stupid? I've done that all before. I'd rather have new things to try.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
And please make sure there is a Mankini available with a Mana Buff, make it available in different colors please.

I remember hearing that even the GMs wouldn't be able to get your corpse back from under Vox....so after a wipe we had to wait for Afterlife to go in and kill her so we could retrieve our corpses.
Then there were the Plane of Hate corpse recovery's that could take all weekend....so yea...there was no dicking around during raid time or you could, in fact, loose your corpse with all your gear.
Good times.
That doesn't sound fun in the least. I get that Pantheon is going to cater to more oldschool minded players but nobody is going to play it with EQ1 penalties, even the vets like me who think they might lol.
