Everquest 3: It's Finally Happening!

- Where there's smoke, there's fire, right? Daybreak has finally come as close to an official announcement as possible regarding an Everquest 3 following the failures of Everquest Next and Everquest Landmark.
Eg7's CEO, former Daybreak CEO Ji Han announced to investors that they have plans for an Everquest MMORPG that would begin investment in 2025 with a targeted release date of 2028.
This is by far the biggest news for Everquest since the scuttling of former MMO projects and it was heartening for fans of Everquest everywhere for them to come out clearly and say the Everquest IP is there most important IP.
There are no details on what the gameplay of the new MMORPG would entail but we did get some monetization information alongside the target dates as well as how much they plan to invest in the game, at least, initially: 30 Million or more.
Monetization sounds like it might be similar to the combination already offered in Everquest and Everquest 2 as is with a premium + microtransactions

I really really want it to be EQ1 with updated graphics. With more factions that have interplay like the Dragons, Giants and Dwarves did in Velious.
Eq1 with less nonsense. Game is too vast making most quest ridiculously hard. In the end, only top players got to enjoy end game content while others struggled to even stay 30 levels behind. Epic quest were kinda dumb the way they did it. It would need a whole revamp, But I agree I would like to see it pretty much be eq1 with updated graphics. Oh and more straightforwardness.
@tradde11 1000 percent. Though with games lately, I will keep my expectations very low.
And no bs open window for spawns please.
and when people say " how come warriors can't sow or life leech?!?!?" they say because they can't fuck off
And not change the way EverQuest 1. Worked, teamwork and a harsh death penalty that made the game much more fun to play. The game was very social and people had to rely on one another. Once they took that away the game died.
Excited to hear this. I'm just hoping they go back to the roots of what made EQ great, and that it will be more like early EQ1
but it wont. it will be more like candy crush.
Not happening. They're going to ruin it and turn it into a cash grab.
Unreal engine 5.2 please
I keep thinking back to the feeling of adventure the original EQ gave me back in the Kunark days. Dangerous forests, difficult exploration, real challenge that didn't hand-hold you as badly as modern MMOs.
Crushbone fortress, Faydark forest, the first trip to Freeport.
Grand memories. All I can do is hope the new EQ will keep grounded to what made the original good.
If the gaming industry has taught me anything, putting a NAME on something is different than understanding the SOUL of something. Blizzard and Diablo is a perfect example.
Why I think the hardest thing in the easiest thing is they just need to put in hours trying to copy very specific things from the original. Dungeon layout, if it just kept it as simple as that they could expand always crumble up other areas but as long as they made an exact scale copy.... they have the launching point the new new ideas will come very naturally from
As a game developer, I can tell you this. Publishers are stupid af and don't even play games. They are revenue people.
I agree with you 100% on this one. It will take discipline from the team to be true to the game and not trying to make their own take on it. Trying out "something new and exciting".
Easy. What we want: A new EQ1. What we dont want : a different game with the Everquest name.
A new EQ would be very interesting. WoW has completely lost touch with its roots - If the roots regrow on their own, All the MMOs who borrowed from EQ could be in trouble.
man ive been praying for Norrath games to be revamped or re worked in some way for modern era. Those 2 games were the bedrock of my childhood/teen gaming. Going up to the cottage and playing Norrath with my little sister or cousin was the best bonding time.
I will be proud to pay extra for EQ IF this community gets 85% of its demands met for what is focused on in the game.
They should just remake EQ1 with UE5, and allow people to continue playing the characters they've put the last 20 years into
At this point I think we'll be playing EQ3 before Pantheon. Hate to be that guy but I think it's true.
That’s cool. Hopefully it goes well.
EQ was savage I don’t know if today’s generation could handle it. No maps then dying exploring somewhere. Running 10 zones because you forgot to bind yourself, trying to find your way back to your corpse. Dying along the way naked and losing experience upon every death. Trying to find a cleric to rez all your corpses after you find your original body. Thats a day wasted but man it was frustrating fun 😂
I really liked eq next.. Was that the one where we could use grappling hooks and build stuff? Having that in eq3 would be fun. What I would hate is spending $100+ again and being ripped off!
This news just makes me happy. To start imagining what a new EQ inspired world and game might be. Honestly I would be happy with a new reskinned TLP with a new UI. My bar is very low these days :)
Bounty, thank you so much for your generosity! And yeah I think a lot of us have a low bar lol, I'd have loved an EQ remaster but other news makes it seem like that's not in the cards (the cancelled LOTRO remaster due to thinking it a bad investment)
Maybe we'll know more in the coming year or two, I'll be watching EG7 docs extra close through 2025.
Original EQ with VR would be insane!! I would throw my money at that!
EQ was hard!!! As mentioned actions had consequences. One had to know how to play your character and you were remembered if you were good or bad at said character. Every MMO since has been easy and I want to see classic EQ back where you lost exp cause you were stupid and were rewarded for great execution.... and raid wipe rescues nothing brought out the best than sending out and SOS cause your Hate or Fear or wherever raid went sideways... those were some of the best times
The thing is people will just flood UA-cam with guides so this hierarchy of knowledge you’re looking for isn’t really a thing anymore. Everyone will know how to play their character, It has to shift to real time skill execution so timing, aim, adjustments, etc
Glad to hear about the revival, but I gotta be honest I won't be paying attention to it until there is some more info on what direction they plan on taking it. I'm just hoping they don't try to turn it into something it isn't and end up with an Anthem on their hands
I would like to see an Everquest 2 with updated graphics, and a heavier influence of EQ.
war of the mmo's, what comes out first? eq3, pantheon, or ashes of creation?
EQ and ff11 were my favorite MMOs. I sure hope they can bring back the magic for EQ3
Serious question, and love to see a video trying to sort game elements.. Should EQ3 be a stencil of the original Zone layouts or should it somehow include EQ2??
More discussion on this the better imo
No EQ2 layout. EverQuest 1 has a better layout as Zones come. Yes I take EQ1 or EQN over EQ2.
An improvement on EQ1 I think it what most of us want that loved the game. Updated Graphics, updated models, updated questing, more classes, races, factions, etc. EQ is just an old game now and it needs a fresh start as long as they take advantage of what made EQ great.
Updated questing? What do you mean by this?
They should just make a completely new game and not call it EverQuest. EQ3 will either never happen or it's just gonna suck. I'll wait for Monsters and Memories instead.
Yeah, all they would have to do is graphically update EQ1 with EQ2 crafting and I’d just play it till I died.
Happily.
I was burned by 'Everquest Next'. Never again. They'll have to produce a finished game before I will even consider it.
Forget it, they're a woke outfit, pushing DEI bs and pride garbo into their cash shop.
Honestly, I don't think a new MMO can exist today with the same social friction like classic EQ had. I'd love to see the same class identities from EQ, the faction system, and the sense of danger and mystery that the world has. I'd hate to see the game become focused on instanced content and end game activities.
If they did this without an in-game store and subscription business model only like the original EQ. I would be way more excited.
Unfortunately that's a wild expectation to have these days.
@Rawko666 Sad but true. Expecting modern game developers to employ ethical and high-integrity business practices is just too much for the corrupt corporate empires.
I'll go to sleep tonight dreaming of a new EQ with Unreal 5 graphic quality. Don't tell me the odds yet. Let me hope for a day!
Everquest landmark was underrated. I had so much fun building stuff. This is exciting news. It's awesome to hear the new company speaking so highly of the ip
What I wouldn't give to have EQOA back. My first MMO ever and I've been chasing that feeling, unsuccessfully, for years.
Same! There's a private server in the works. It's really messy right now but you can play till lvl 25 or so. Eq2 launching a classic server in June I might check out.
I would love to see a game based off the original, but not EQ2. Although I’ve played EQ2 a lot. I don’t really care for the art style they went with.
I want to believe. What would I love to see? Remnants of a broken norath. Old cities in ruin.
EQ next had me in awe... then poof.... and I gave up... I'd love to see it, get all the old friends back together... emphasis on OLD 😅
Back in those days every single one of my characters was dream something dream shaman dream warrior dream rogue dream monk dream enchant dream healer dream beast Lord
Even more vaporware to get excited about. Can't wait!
Aggro that doesn't break till you zone, like in EQ1 😁
😱
I want it to be hard and grindy. This may sound weird but when I first played EQ when it came out, it was a hard game. We had to group together and when you leveled up it was a MASSIVE thing. Now when I play eq, the items I get make the first 70 levels a breeze. It seems like it is all about the end game, and a lot of other games are like that. Diablo 4 is a good example of what happens when you don't plan for end game but still make leveling as if you did.
DDO did some really good things with movement and I liked that, but I also liked everquests stand and use your abilities. A mix between the two would be nice. A mage or tank could build up their damage mitigation but a Rogue or Ranger could focus on other points and use their movement to keep them alive.
After playing Valheim, Icarus, Enshrouded, I am at the point where I really understand where landmark and EQNExt were going, and I still like the Idea, but the world would have to be huge or you would need to have instances. I still like the idea of selling player made towers or shelves from landmark into EQN for cash.
Also, Bards need to be able to run so fast that if they hit a tree, they take damage.
I request one was the first real online social game of It’s Time when computers were really only used for data entry forums? Weren’t even a thing websites were booming everywhere it was ahead of its time but once every request two came out and once well the walk off took all the lessons learned from EverQuest and made it child friendly, they lost at least 80% of their base but a request was ahead of its time in every shape of form and then once shadows of Laughlan came out it was the best but once the next expansion planes of power it sealed the deal the fact that you no longer needed wizards and Druids to get around the massive game and then they introduced the beast class means you no longer needed a warrior. You no longer needed any enchanted YOU no longer needed a shaman that was the end.
EQ3 will be amazing. I mean--literally the best news ever!
The two main things I would like to see in an Everquest 3 would be a focus on Quest centered leveling and progression (Its right there in the name!) and user friendly quality of life. Make the game easy to get into and friendly to new players. I am not opposed to making a game difficult to add a sense of accomplishment when you master it but dont frontload the difficulty. If you want to hit your players with harsh difficult gameplay save it for later levels and endgame after you have drawn people into the game world. I have been playing Everquest since 1999 and I have also been struggling to get friends to join me in Everquest since 1999. In the last decade or more I have noticed that anyone that tries EQ is immediately put off by how harsh and unwelcoming the game is at low levels.
The everquest IP has such a rich world with deep lore and interesting races and zones it is a shame to hide it behind such an inaccessible game. I would love to be able to share the EQ world with friends who dont want their gameplay experience to be as punishing.
Man, you nailed so many things I was thinking. For a game called Everquest, I dont remember many quests in the beginning....and that is kinda unforgiveable. It was always grind at spot A, til level A...then spot B til level B, blah blah.
I came back to EQ1 this year and didnt recognize the game...almost. Many QOL features were added since I left, too many to name, but I think of a couple offhand I am appreciating:
1 heros journey, and the quest / subquest structure it has...it rewards the work you put in, and you can see it beforehand. nice
mercs, nuff said
2 defiant gear....OP at the low levels, underpowered at higher levels...but hey, it exists, it drops, and is tradeable - thats a good thing
3 tutorial zone - i would like to see it go to 20 and explain MANY more things, this is a complex game
4 quests, defined quest givers, and Crescent Reach - you can find quest givers and identify their usefulness by quest level range...yes, yes, yes
It's actually going to be very difficult for them to pry the Mechwarrior license away from Piranha, who are currently developing and publishing games in the franchise and have been since 2012 ish. Yes, Microsoft holds the license, but they would have to pull it from Piranha if they wanted to publish anything like an action game. I suppose they could try to publish something less "Mechwarrior" and more "Battletech", but even at that Harebrained published a turn based property in the Mechwarrior universe in 2018 which didn't do particularly well.
All that said, perhaps it will help if they do fail to secure Mechwarrior, simply because it could accelerate EQ3. I would prefer that over someone else trying to do something with Mechwarrior. I would be very excited for an EQ3, if it were done properly.
Something we've all been waiting for, that will be inevitably destroyed with Cash Shop.
Played EQ2 for about 5 years when I was a teenager. Was excited for EverQuest Next, but was sad to see it get canned.
I would love to see a refresh of EQ1, and hate to see a refresh of EQ2.
Love to see heroic running
Hate to see mounts
I never played EQ but I was very interested in EQ next. What a shame they were cancelled. I'll believe it when they launch it.
I will never forget the feeling of going to East Commons cave and spamming my JBoots instant cast. Now there's no concept of earning something epic. WoW sort of had that at the very beginning but its all lost now.
It's sad/terrifying reading the comments and seeing how many people are willing to trust Daybreak again after they rugpulled the fanbase with EQ Next/Landmark. I spent $100 on the founder's pack and what did I get in return? A buggy demo set in a tiny, geographically schizophrenic map with half backed game logic.
Literally the only good thing that came away from taking a vested interest in EQ Next was the memes; BURLED WOOD!
Nope. once bitten twice shy, and EQ Next all these years later remains the most blatant highway robbery in the games industry I've fallen victim to.
People always told me i was nuts when i kept saying give us EQ3
I'll believe it when I see it. I bought into the whole Everquest Next boondoggle. I saw so much work put into Everquest Landmark and then poof it was all gone. People had spent hard earned money that down the drain.
So after everything that we've been through, we'll end up getting EQ3 before Pantheon after all
I hope it’s like original EQ 2 I miss those corpse runs 😂❤
All I got to say is, dammit man, fix that painting on the upper left. It's crooked. heheh. EQ3 VR has to happen :D
I think it's my camera 🤣 I'll check
ive never played EQ 1 or 2 because I just assumed they would be too old or too many pvp gankers but if there is a 3 I would love to play when it is in its beginning stages
Would LOVE to see Everquest updated with new graphics BUT keep the original game play.
2028, that’s about the time Amazon Game Studios will be releasing their LOTR mmo
Would be nice if EQN / Landmark people got some rewards here, not gonna happen sure - but would be nice lol.
After buying into the founders pack for Everquest landmark and having that yanked out from under me and my Gf. I flat out do not trust Daybreak to develop any game title let alone Everquest, despite being a Rallos Zek sleeper killer in Wudan. better to keep to classic and let there be no sequels if it is going to made by a company that will just let it fail, or never reach creation like landmark.
one thing to note, is EG7 is not the same owners that let EQ next die, and there are new devs involved, as well as they were hiring for a new director. Hopefully new blood will work.
At the same time, i'm not getting my hopes up, and they will not get a single cent from me for this game until it releases.
YEEEEEES we need at least a A if not AA or AAA MMORPG that is more RPG than WoW and Final Fantasy I swear!
I tried playing and while it's fun to watch and I like a lot of the systems in older RPGs I just cannot cope with graphics.
Then you have Elder Scrolls Online with robust enough graphics, great setting and themes, but not "RPG" enough in many aspects.
I mean I'd be playing Runescape if they gave me WASD but they've declined that for a decade so looks like EQ3 is my only hope.
Im hoping at least for native controller support so I dont have to use a mouse + keyboard as it hurts my wrists
I would like to see a real open world with no guard rails, epic line of quests and equally epic rewards, consequences for your actions, no spoon feeding, awesome eye candy. More dungeons, strange and magic lands with real dragons that might attack your home city.
No confidence. They can't even balance EverQuest TLPs. The fact that Rogues and Monks are both in the state they are after all of these years speaks volumes.
I would love to see EQ3 with the look and feel of Horizon Zero Dawn
If this happens and they do it right i will never play world of warcraft again. So many memories playing everquest would love to go back.
You are not thinking it through at all. 3 years from funding to release? You guys are actually expecting a real MMO from a tiny dev in 3 years?!?! You flat out cannot fund and develop a real MMO in that time frame. Full stop. You should know better than that.
Given the size of the dev team they have and the 3 year launch window you guys better drastically lower your expectations. You are thinking EQ3 when you should be thinking EQ based mobile game.
I do not believe for a second this studio is even capable of delivering an actual Everquest 3. Not in a million years.
and the fact that they jumped to discuss monetization before the game shows that the accountants still run the show......
I am excited though, I play Everquest 2 sense I never touched the first one. If it comes out I will most likely play Both Everquest 2 and 3 back to back. why? Because I still have stuff to do in Everquest 2. Hopefully Sarnaks will make a return as well sense I play them exclusively.
DB could not make a cake, not a chance
I mean have you ever tried to make a cake? That's freaking hard. Or maybe it's just me and I suck at baking...
I hope it happens. I'm tired of the TLP gimmicks and the starting over again aspect of it all... that's not what EQ is/was to me. I agree I hope its roots are EQ1 with way better graphics, stories, quests and factions. Hopefully it doesn't require 60 players to raid, i always felt that was a bit too much making it difficult to organize. It still pains me to see that the blizzard ripoff is still going strong while the OG has been dying. I hope they do this and take back their rightful place as the best mmo ever. :)
I don't know.
I have been clean and sober from EverQuest 19 years, 5 months, 26 days.
I would have to know there was transactional integrity before I would reconsider.
It's going to sound sad, but I would kill to see a mobile version of eq 1
Not sure you can ever recreate what make EQ so good, without going over the same ole ground. I played both the original and 2 for probably cumulatively 10 years. Along the way I played almost every other mmo besides WOW, but always came back to EQ. I came to mmos from FPS UT, and returned to FPS in the for of Destiny for a few years, but broke that habit by embracing New World. Nearly 4000 hours into New World and simply compelled by the builds and play styles… as well as the action combat and pvp. Ala Conan/secret world. Maybe some thing are better left as a great memory.
EQ is nostalgia... new gamers would never play a game with such penalties for death and difficulties in traveling or obtaining spells. EQ3 would be a game of collections, feats, and achievements that you can wear and show off. The classes will all be watered down with little differences for "balance" and everything will be instanced. You will never meet someone in the open world and group up to duo, then form a larger group and move camps to suit the DPS like original EQ because its unnessaccary. You will simply click the find group button and get teleported to instant gratification. Or just solo everything as a support class because nobody should ever feel unsubstantial or underpowered in an RPG since the release of WoW.
Please god let this happen no cartoon graphics !!!!!!!!
let me sink in the reality here, it will be years and years and yeeeeeeeeeeeears before we actually get to play it, hell, maybe pantheon will be out by then, or maybe not
Linking it to EQ is both a good and a bad thing. I think it would be better to have the same design philosophies of EQ without having the same lore of EQ. That way you can get a lot of new players.
I want EQ3 as well,but i'm a casual player and i haven't been in a group in years inside an mmo
Love: 1st person perspective. Complex NPC behaviour. Finding quests organically. Immersive worlds. Exploration. Lore.
Hate: Button mashing. GPS tracker maps. Exclamation marks over static NPC quest vendors. Theme parks designed for short attention spans.
3rd person should be optional and built in controller support because in this day and age there is no excuse to not have it
As much as I’d like to see an EQ style MMO, it simply won’t be popular enough to justify the cost of a serious life service product ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ll play it, but there aren’t 1,000,000 of me out there lol
Mash EQ1 and EQ2 together, bringing the best of both and you will have a hit. imo.
I want corpse runs!
Next and daybreak seemed so close. I don’t put much stock in EQ3 actually materializing.
My ideal game would be EQ1's mechanics with updated graphics keeping most of the original game's world layout (old Freeport, anyone?), EQ2's interface and gathering/crafting system, and housing that's a combination of EQ2 and Landmark. I LOVED voxel building in Landmark, but it probably should be limited to instances like how EQ2's housing is. I HATED how they shrank, reconfigured and relocated many of the original's iconic zones for EQ2, and I can't stand the clunky interface of EQ1 anymore.
I WANT A EQ REMAKE! Launch with original through Velious. Include player housing, guild halls, collectables and EQ2 crafting. Unreal Engine 5, totally new graphics with the original game zone maps and geography.
Don't you DARE give me stupid Final Fantasy bullshit gameplay
Warily hopeful!
The thing I have sorely missed in MMO’s since EQ is the sense of consequence. Your character’s race mattered. The deity you worshipped or didn’t mattered. The mobs you decided to hunt mattered. Which quests you chose to do mattered. My wife’s human Druid was KOS in Qeynos because she completed a quest in Highhold Pass. My dark elf wizard could sit at the ramps of Kelethin and one shot mobs young elves were trying to run to the guards.
The EQ faction system was always on my list of items when my friends and I would theory craft an MMO from pieces of the games we had played. I hope it is carried forward in a new iteration.
I agree with you! I loved playing as my enchanter and being able to sneak into cities, I wasn't usually allowed to enter, with my illusion spells. Spells like that made the game more fun. That kind of gameplay was lost without factions working this way.
On that same note, every class had it's own special talents that made it feel special. I am sure you and your wife both got asked for teleports all the time, not to mention SoW. Druids are especially awesome.
@@EerieNoodles Best teleport story. My wife was present when The Sleeper first awakened on her server, fishing off the Velious dock. People started screaming in chat as it began rampaging across the zones. She shouted she would take anyone out that could get to her immediately. She then went back twice more to evacuate folks. On the last trip from the rings they were attacked. The dwarf, who had been the last person alive in the zone, started to bolt but she told him not to run. Her concentration was high enough that the hit did not stop her teleport spell. However, when they landed she fell unconscious (that lovely you’re not quite dead yet state). The dwarf started shouting in chat for a healer and as people came running he, in character, started telling the story of this brave but crazy young Druid who had saved him from certain death.
I played on Sullon Zek from early days and my woodie Bard had to flee Kelethin after a few hours. Why? cause it slipped thru the cracks that woodie Bard's could pick Rallos Zek as a deity with the consequence of being flagged as evil. Neriak foreign quarter became my new home amongst the evil races.
@@Ulthrinifyed Hah - also played on Sullon Zek, evil as a half elf bard. I was a member of the guild Hate
Yep what memories. Like I am pretty sure you're talking about the soulfire quest when you say quest in highpass which resulted in kos in qeynos. I have that sword on my old EQ character. That character is at least 20 years old, and I still remember that quest. We need games like this again.
Let the buyer beware and not forget all who were ripped off by Everquest Next.
I'm cautiously optimistic with this news. Until there is a true release announcement I'll take such news with a grain of salt.
What I want from EQ3 is simply that it channels EQ1s feel with graphics and quality of life updates. I wouldn't mind player housing as well (which is often a something I spend a lot of time with).
It won't. It'll be a cash grab with no soul like all of their games are
2029 should be when it comes out as the 30th anniversary ( my god im old i was a beta tester for everquest in 1998 before its release in 1999 )
I agree it's been way too long...its been since late 2003, 2004 EQ2 was so amazeballs I want the same game play just EQ3 more content monsters and tons of added LORE keep it all original tho...=P
Moving from EQ1 to EQ2 I LOVE EQ2 more. Basically due to the Tradeskilling and the Housing/Decorating community. As long as they hold true to that I don't mind what they do for Everquest 3! Just let me be a Carpenter and decorate houses! (OH and allow everyone to have housing. None of this random lottery stuff that FF14 has)
I tried to get back into it but could find my way i was so lost
Housing would be a good idea. Not my focus, but a place to store a few things or place a few items....I could appreciate that.
EQ2 had a pretty decent crafting system, better than many. I was also surprised when I first got into EQ2, was doing the old grinding at a camp. Much to my surprise, after a dozen or so kills a quest spontaneously popped up. Nice. I may also have gotten a drop or two that prompted quests in the camp, or versus that type of mob. That is a great way open up opportunities for players outside a quest hub.
Everquest Next 2
I would love to see a revitalization of EverQuest. They have lore, now they just need a good story and great bard to sing it. A lot can be overlooked by great story telling. Let us hope they bring their "A" game.
An EQ3 trailer with the narrator being a singing bard 😍
I would love to see them bring back Galaxies in modern graphics
Seems weird they can say they'd start development in 2025 and that they would be done in 3 years. Fast turn around
It does. The way it's kind of pitched is how From Software made Elden Ring for 30 million - Make the same game over and over and it makes the latest iteration easier/cheaper. This was, after all, an investment presentation. Cost and Speed are going to be the most important thing they talk about.
I get the feeling, all the engine changes to EQ recently. 64-bit overhaul, UI, DX11mean they might try a runescape style revival with flashier graphics in the old engine
@@Redbeardflynn
I'm cautiously optimistic about the game, not so much about the world by 2028. I hope they can pull it off and recapture the magic. We'll see.
Excitement tethered with scepticism. If we see some real progress in the next few years I'm more than happy to jump on the hype train.
I already got the tattoo 😂 EQ3🎉
I would love to see GM events and NPC activated advance
What I would hate to see is the beast lord class or any class that steals from another class making that class obsolete
That that is where the magic happened for you as a group you need a healer for you to interact with other players and build friendships along with every other class. You need a shaman to slow the mobs and buff you need an enchant to mesmerise ads. you need a jewel or a wizard for that higher Damage as well as a quick evacuation out of danger if things go wrong and a rogue for that really good DPS and a tank I’d hate to see a class mixed as it was with the beast class. Don’t get me wrong. The class is insane to play. I was one of the first on my server to reach max level with a bee lord it took me, almost 2 days to max max level from the day it was launched a group of three of me and my friends set out to Max level this class. I actually got award from the GM not that the class could do anything as it was so heavily power levelled that I could not even cast to spell that was the hardest part, all my attributes and spells back then the pet was an ability not a spell much like hands. It was an ability.
Love to see: Eq1 with unreal 5.
Hate to see: Eq with terrible pay for convenience mtx like every single modern mmo. Honestly any cash shop at all, which is an impossible ask these days. I really just want to pay my sub and get the FULL game.
I dont know what it is with older MMO's but I really love how they look over the more modern releases. I know it was based on technology limitations but god damn do I love how EQ, Meridian 59, OSRS and such look.
Seems like those older MMOs put much more time and effort in the actual game as opposed to making it look purty. I dont mind a bit of polish, but dont kill my cpu/gpu...and prioritize gameplay over graphics please
The older games had more primitive graphics but tried to get a more realistic look.
From what I can notice it's all the post-processing garbage, but also the damn flashy colors and the added particle effects that ruin it and this goes for all new games. There is also the fact that everything is overly animated these days.
Desire: Community-focused, hardcore experience without WoW cloning. Minimal instances, reminiscent of the first game. Subscription only, no cash shop.
Good graphics and good intuitive gameplay like Everquest classic but just updated would be good for Everquest 3.
Sorry yo 2028 isn't anytime soon. So much can change between now and then.
They Break Games .... Zero trust this will be anything I want to play.
