I'm concerned that Smedley just knows that "sandbox" is this huge buzzword, but he doesn't know or care what it really means. Will it just be a sandbox, the way the first EQ was (not!) a sandbox?
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

Originally posted by JeroKane Its not hard to improve on that heaping pile of excrement. Back to the topic, Sandbox was really the only viable option for them, and to be honest it suits the Everquest franchise. Yes it was the first themepark, but it also has a lore and world far deeper than anything released since. They cant out-themepark the big themeparks, they tried with EQ2 and its just not going to happen, the only way for them to succeed with EQ3 is to fill the sandbox market. |

Originally posted by evilastro I just spat my coffee all over my boss which is my dad lol. Seriously though that was funny as hell. But on a serious note i actually like TSW but asking for EQNext to go the same route as TSW is just dumb. Seem JeroKane hasn't been reading what Smed has said lol. |

Originally posted by Vhaln He said "type of sandbox" that does not mean it's going to be a total sandbox game, i think from what he has said in the past that it will take some elements from Vanguard and EQ1 with updated features. Hybrid is the way. |

Are we even going to be playing games on the PC when this game comes out?

Everquest is definitely my favourite brand for mmorpg's, every other doesn't have the right touch.... Had a lot of fun with eq1 & eq2 it's actually a bit worrying they will go a different route and make a sandbox - hoping it works out wont be really touching other mmo's anymore

I am just happy to see another EQ world coming. Love the lore behind EQ. Started with UO and ended up in EQ a few months after launch and have played EQ2 off and on for its existance. I do hope it doesn't go the way of GW2, some people love that game, it just wasn't for me. I do hope the hybrid way they go is Vanguard'ish. I am not a huge sandbox fan, but EQ lore would draw me to it. Really wish it was not so far off.......... |

theres more to it than just this game. If it does well well see more worlds. I cant see that as being a bad thing. I have to be honest with you. We have completely blown up the design of EverQuest Next. For the last year and a half we have been working on something we are not ready to show. Why did we blow up the design? The design was evolutionary. It was EverQuest III. It was something that was slightly better than what had come before it. It was slightly better.What we are building is something that we will be very proud to call EverQuest. It will be the largest sandbox-style MMO ever designed.--Smed |

Originally posted by Icewhite Where EQ is concerned Smed tells it like it is, nothing come before his first MMO child. Nope, Smed will go all out to make EQNext an epic rebirth of the original EQ. |

Originally posted by Istavaan Not really it does not. Sony is in big trouble atm, it is losing money as crazy and it lost alot of it's worth in last years. SoE is not in bad shape, but Sony overall it is.

Originally posted by RimmersmanOriginally posted by Incomparable An economy that revolves around controlling strategic locations by building cities or guild castles to have easier access to these points of interest. And these are areas that might be the housing for intents and purposes... but more about actual use than decoration, and it of course involves pvp. Possibly including destructible houses or just guild castles that are destructible. And new guilds castles can levy high taxes to try to force out existing players to sell their land or possibly other tools the devs can introduce to make the game have non instanced housing ( which might mean capacity is reached) that is fun and realistic that involves a player generated economy and destructible houses and/or guild castles. Also there should be ai/npc involved with the usages of these areas and how it affects the areas and npcs, since I believe npc alignment should play a major role in how it affects the world. Since we do a lot of quests for people it is essentially building favor for the area or even race which may be scattered, or even relocated affecting events in the world. “Write bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble” |
