Landmark

While Everquest Next; Landmark’s Alpha doesn’t lend itself too easily to going in without a lot of information beforehand (In fact, I’d essentially given up going in completely blind 10 minutes after building my character), I thought the Landmark Alpha could afford one of my 90 minute challenges.

This past weekend EverQuest Next Landmark launched its Alpha version into the playable universe. In a surprising move SOE has dropped the NDA on Landmark to allow developers to talk with fans right away and communicate their plans. We had the chance to chat with SOE’s Dave Georgeson last night about Landmark and some of the plans the team has for the future.

The first fifteen minutes of SOE's EverQuest Next: Landmark Alpha Your first true fifteen minutes will likely be spent trying to FIND some place to claim and work on as your own, so we cut it up a bit to show mining, inventory, a little crafting, and eventually what happens and what you can do once you find a spot to work with. Note, all resources you collect are physically mined from the world. Eventually, dirt, trees, and all that stuff "grows back", but you can physically see an absence and d

Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley has announced via Twitter that the NDA for EverQuest Next: Landmark has been lifted. This allows alpha testers to post impressions, videos and more across the 'Net.

Sony Online Entertainment has made no bones about the fact that EverQuest Next: Landmark is going to be something special and a true sandbox title that will cater to a huge variety and type of MMO player. We had the opportunity to spend time as the first alpha group in EQN:L and for a chance to chat with the developers about the game that kicks off the Founders Alpha later today. The most pervasive thought is that there truly is something for everyone in SOE's most ambitious game to date.

If one video wasn't enough to make you want to scream "ALPHAAAAAAA!" then four videos will likely turn many Everquest Next: Landmark fans into a quivering mess of excitement. Better yet, that's EXACTLY what Sony Online Entertainment did since the last time I wrote about the game. Let's delve into what's happened in the past week by going through the content chronologically.

Sony Online Entertainment has revealed the system specifications for those who will be participating in the EverQuest Next: Landmark alpha test set to commence at the end of January. Users will be required to have a 64-bit system as, according to Dave Georgeson, the game is not yet optimized.

There's a lot going on in the EverQuest universe during the next few months. From the original game's 15th anniversary to EQ2's latest updates, to Landmark's alpha launch and beyond, we caught up with the SOE team to talk about everything happening in Norrath.

Senior Producer Terry Michaels takes to the airwaves with the EverQuest Next: Landmark Producer's Letter for January. Michaels looks back at the releases up to now and gives a few hints about things that players can expect as the month comes to a close. He lets slip that crafting will be spotlighted in an upcoming developer diary.

Dave Georgeson has recommended that EverQuest Next: Landmark alpha testers use a 64-bit operating system due to the game not yet being optimized. The statement was made via Georgeson's Twitter account.

For as long as I’ve been writing for MMORPG.com and, in fact, long before that, I’ve had a keen interest in transparency and openness. It’s why I’m a fan of Square Enix’s Naoki Yoshida and his handling of Eorzean matters. It’s also why I wanted desperately to to discuss some recent goings-on on the Planetside Reddit, which basically struck all the right kinds of goodie-goodie feels in me regarding Everquest Next’s future.

Movers and shakers from the EverQuest Next: Landmark team will be on hand later today to host a live stream event on the EQN:L channel. The topic of the day will be about claiming a stake in the game world, how big they are and how it all works.

Fans of EverQuest Next: Landmark will want to check out the latest video developer diary that focuses on advanced building tools. While the game is marketed as something for anyone, there is also an advanced component to please even the most sophisticated builder.

Rosie Rappaport and Omeed Dariani take to the airwaves in the latest EverQuest Next: Landmark Roundtable. In this edition, the discussion centers around building styles for the forthcoming game. According to the community, fantasy is the desired foundation for which the team will provide the tools and props to create exactly what they want to create in the style they wish.
