SE stop doing the "norm"

Eh, I'm really just looking forward to 2.0 if it flops in my eyes I will probably be done with MMOs for a long while. Until I see something that suits my gaming tastes and leans away from the disposable conventions I see evolving today.

If you guys didn't click on the link I just linked

"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. The same exciting content delivered in a new way. Something you've never seen before. The MMO world has never seen before. We didn't want more kill 10 rats quests. We didn't want more of the same. If you look at the MMOs out there, they're delivering the same content over and over again. So are we. We need to change that. When we released EverQuest, we changed the world. We want to do that again with a different type of game."

Something you'll never hear Yoshi say, lol. Well... not the bold part.

Square, Please take a moment to read over this:

"As we reported last night, Sony Online Entertainment dropped a few hints regarding the future of the EverQuest franchise at its annual SOE Live convention in Las Vegas. Though CEO John Smedley's keynote address focused mainly on the firm's non-EQ portfolio, the EQNext tidbit was a doozy.

Smedley went on to mention that veteran EQ devs Dave Georgeson and Terry Michaels are spearheading the project, and he promised that it would be playable at next year's SOE Live event."

and that's what the players don't want anymore as well, yet they are easily and swiftly adding those things!

SE, that is.

Jynx, Gramul.

You both are assuming, and speculating the worst just like rokien, and you're both misinterpreting my words.

I'm sure if you both go back and reread what I wrote you'll see somewhere in there that I essentially said that improvements on old technology makes them better. This is the same thing yoshi-p is doing. (Taking what works from the old, and tweaking them to make it more accessible)

If this spells doom, and gloom for you, then you can always go back to your wheel and stick toys. It really wont effect me in any way.

Ya guess what, so what we are speculating the worst, it's cool, because when the game comes out, either A. i wont be sad or cry about it. B. I eat my words and be like OMGSFODSUFNSDF AWESOME!!!! And get really pumped about the great job they did. So really, It's a win win for me, can't speak for those other two~

As it is right now I'm not happy about version 1.0. If 2.0 flops then yes there will be a shitstorm brewin, and I'll say you were right.

You don't need to say we where right. I'd find no joy in that.
