Make the game worth playing. Have a more interactive feel to the game similar to AoC and make it darker then anything people have seen. Im talking full out carnage. Time of War or somthing. Well i want a everquest 3 just because it will be the title that remakes the Everquest series. Everquest 1 was a sucess while 2 is a decent game it just was that decent. SOE will learn from this and make somthing spectacular and it will be the next big MMO IMO. unfortunetly it will more then likly be a PS3 or PS4 game.

ALSO sex and violence sells. All the die hard mmoers are adults now and we arn't kiddies anymore we want to see the violence and blood. Well at least us americans do.

Please dont do that! anything with eq3 in the title and i start to prepare for loos of job/girlfriend/life and anything else to do with the outside world.

EQ3 is just a dream! or a way to tease people like me.

yeah its a tease for me too. I would so be in heaven if i was taking into the back and seen it being developed. Im always going to have a spot in my heart for Everquest.

I hope they don't make an EQ3 as I'll more than likely be disappointed. SOE have openly said they think consoles are the way forward, so I can imagine alot of the design decisions will be heavily influenced by console.

Vanguard is not eq3 friend it has very little in comparison to Everquest so to call it eq3 is way of target. Even eq2 doesnt feel like a sequel, rather a different game altogether.....when people say eq3 they generally mean the real succesor to Everquest :) the game that all us EQ vets want!

Consoles are the way to go.  PC gaming has been a dying breed for some time now.  Its too expensive to maintain a high end gaming PC to play the latest and greatest.  I mean I have seen several threads of people complaining about not wanting to upgrade their PCs anymore to play a certain game.  This will be eliminated by moving to consoles.

Aye, I understand peoples concerns as PC technology evolves fast, but consoles are very limiting IMO. Mostly the reason that led me to quit AoC was all the console based game design. My main concern would be SOE making alot of these mistakes in EQ3 or whatever.

EQ3 has already been released, its called Vanguard

Lets see EQ2 flopped, Vanguard/eq3 flopped.  No i dotn think they will eb making anymore pc mmos anytime soon, unless they buy failing mmos.  Maybe they will buy Aoc of funcom, who knows.

vanguard isnt EQ3 nor was it even developed to be a SONY game. It was a microsoft game and they backed out of it because it wasnt playable at the time it was spose to be so they said hey we aint funding this. And good ole brad went to EQ and pulled his favor to get it released at SOE. So saying its EQ3 is retarded.

Yes consoles are limited but they have one outstanding feature. They have only one hardware setup they have only one type of videocard. PC's are a monster to code for because of this and that is why most games are going to start becoming Console games before they even think about putting them on the PC.

This can also be a win/lose situation.  People are not happy they have to upgrade their PC and they are not happy with the limitations of the consoles.  We have seen it already that consoles are catching up to PCs in both tech as well as cost so who knows maybe games will just fall apart all together. . .

an mmorpg on a console is not a real mmorpg for me

There have been two console MMOs that I can think of.  One of which being FFXI which is very popular and Everquest Online Adventures which I would think is probably dead by now.  This does not give me enough scope to label a console MMO as not being capable of reaching true MMO royalties.

Console FTW.

As long as they stay rtrue to the feel and design of the PC based MMO. Just because itis on a console doesn't mean it has to turn into a console game...if that makes any sense.

everquest3 mm NOT

you want a new game from sony first they need a crew or at the very least a young person with lot of imagination cause great game come from great idea.

and i think we saw too many game trying to copy wow instead of concentrating on their own game style and content .

maybe im just tired of wow copy but hell the way its going blizzard will probably be the one to revolutionise gaming ,again lol

why:they dont have to try to copy their succes they invented it lol.so they can do it again.

but sony and other are scared to put money in the unknown cause if the game fluke then they loose

men im so depressed ,if one company can do it its sony but they got a problem somewhere cause nothing great comeout of sony anymore they just stay in their old game and all probably cause a while back everyone said pc game is gona die

it wont ! in 10 years pc gaming will be there and probably the only one so SONY buck up and do you job revolutionize the pc gaming .(consolegame will be dead in 10 year) only portable and pc gaming have a future.and most game will probably be online no cd or dvd ,the only thing we will probably still need in ebgame are timecard

ok why would the cd and dvd game format die:1 reason patching nightmare and this dvd cd patching nightmare is starting to pop up on ps3 etc as they get more and more online as we lived this in 2004 + so will they live it now in this gen of console.

so to resume pc and mobile are the future of gaming

its funny how u say that games are copying wow when WOW copied everquest. so they can do what they want.

I'd like to see them go in a completely different direction than say EQ2. Make it more sandboxy more along the lines of EVE but in the eq setting.

Call it NORRATH and have the lore behind it basically say that the gods were very upset with the Norrathians and thier constant attack of the gods and used thier combine powers to wipe norrath clean ... starting over.

so now its been X amount of years later and the civilizations are starting to thrive again.

- no classes its all skill based ... maybe even like EVE where your skills can be trained while offline
- no cities all player created
- lawless zones where PVP is enabled 
- all new non recipe based crafting system (think something along the lines of Oblivion)
- Mount and Blade style combat system.

EQ3 won't happen, it was said by somebody from $OE that they knew calling EQ2 EQ2 was a mistake, there may be an EQ3 but it won't be called EQ3.

To me vanguard feels very much like an everquest 3.  Many races, many classes, and bards.  A more developed and interesting combat system, a more developed and interesting crafting system, a big world with shared content (no instancing).  The gaming system is great, and very much the upgrade to eq1 combat.  The problem is they screwed the pooch on the coding of the world (hitching, falling thru world, etc), and they didnt have enough end game content.  If SOE were to make an everquest 3 Id hope they keep bards to be more like vanguard than eq2.  And they should make an all new world.  Dont try to make it a sequel world like eq2 did.  Just because it says everquest in the title doesnt mean it has to be in Norrath.

It's nothing like Everquest. The EQ lore is what Everquest 1 and 2. The Vanguard lore/storyline was its downfall
