• • What would it take to make another EQ?

  • There was an eq emulator around for a while, and even tho it was unstable, it was playable.

    http://www.eqemulator.net/main.php

    White wolf, or something close to that, was the best of them. Then Sony threatened them with a million dollar law suite, and they dissapeared with the promise to build their own engine, and release it free. forge style. I am yet to see or hear from them again..

     

    On a side note, cause I am sure someone will jump on me for posting a 'hackers site link' and it will probably get edited out.. What harm would it do to Sony to allow folks to play the classic 3 ( up to velious) for free? It would get them hooked, and THEN if folks want to move up, they pay for a transfer/upgrade.

    Then again they might be like me and be happy to play there for ever.  :)

• • What would it take to make another EQ?

  • I played on Veeshan from June 1999 till 2002, guild upset some folks in foh and CT, so I moved with a friend to Firiona Vie. (the special ruleset server, where almost everything except epics was tradable/never boe, which suprisingly had a very mixed but reliable community..)

    I left the game in 2005, then came back for 6 months in 2006.  Disks for all 11 expansions are deep in storage boxes.

    To me, unless they rebuild eq1 with a new engine, and update some other componets, eq1 is a pleasant memory, but one I wouldn't head back to. If eq3 is indeed around the corner ( with sony the corner seems to be a 3-5 year time frame) the gameplay from eq1, combined with new ideas, no eq2 stuff and maybe some real 'class balancing' they might just get a niche market that would support the game.

• • Reduce monthly fee for EQ.

  • I play wow but I enjoyed EQ much more.

    If they dropped the price I would be back in EQ.

    The thing I find interesting is you can find 100+ hacked wow servers, but only ever see 1 hacked eq server, and its bizzare...

    google 'top 100 warcraft', the exteme top100 list.. and read the list. then google top 100 everquest.  shards of daylia? is the only eq one.

     

    Anyway....
