You can learn more in the most recent Workshop Show and by checking out the link above.

    At first i read it like "Players Assisting in Developing Halal" and i was.. that was a bold thing to do... Then i read it again and i was kind of disappointed. =) Would have been fun to read. 

     

    Beyond that it is good to see that they still take input as this have been a ongoing thing through development. (more or less....) 

     

    I am still very curious as to what this game will turn out to be. 

    This have been a good conversation

    Kind of hard to say what this game will evolve into.  The studio basically rid itself of most of the design staff, so we will just have to wait and see what the people left come up with.

    Title should read as well, New Playable Race announced. This was a playable race was unknown to us till this video.

    Tricking fans into spending as much time as a real developer - creating their world... for free.

     

    Pretty brilliant, actually.

    These videos happen every 1-3 weeks, first time I seem mmorpg.com post one. Not sure why they did for a change. They didnt even post the news this video was really about. 1. Announce a new playable race. 2. Announce that the contest to build Halas will be starting soon 3. They did cover Halas will be a city built by players in EQN. I think this is the 5th or 6th city thats been built by players. =-) Not sure why they decided to cover this one???

    What this tells me is that EQN is still years and years away.

    And people wonder why this game has lost all of its hype.  What was once at the peak of hype is now barely breathing.  So depressing the state of EQN.

    Its a game in development. How is that any different than any other game being made? The game will be done when its done.

    This is actually a good thing. Hype has it´s place but constant hype leads to burn-out and angry people. 

     

    Just look at SC... 

     

    Better to make a new hype push when it is needed. 

    This have been a good conversation

    I will say this.  Players cannot claim they did not have design input on this game.    Get on landmark and submit your designs maybe they will make it in the game.

    I have submitted my payment I would like to receive for doing their work, but I haven't gotten any replies yet.

    You chose to do it they didn't hire you.  :)  

     

    People always complain about not having input in the design of these games before they come out and here they give you actual input in submitting your own buildings and people just complain about it.

    Even better.  The fans paid SOE/DBG to access Landmark, to help develop their game for free.

    They added a price over handing out access willy nilly to try and find people who wanted to build. At any time you can get a full refund for buying into Landmark as DGC has said, its a F2P game.
