I'm sure it's possible, but I'm a little skeptical too. We've seen hints of it in games like WoW (e.g. flame leviathan, malygos) and SWtoR. The article brings up a good point about a potential problem with the lack of holy trinity:

Unfortunately, EverQuest Next's lack of a trinity bears worrisome of what I call the "faceless" group play of games like Guild Wars 2, in which you play with many people but never have cause to learn their names.
If they can create encounters that require actual skill to differentiate between good and bad players, and not needing traditional healer/tank/dps roles, it could be a glorious thing.

you will have to wait to find out their ingenious plan, and when that day come is also the day you will have your penis in your hand.

I'll hope for this

I on the other hand would probably pay-to-play this new concept

All I know is where ever Kz places his flag I plan to place my flag right on top of his so I can make his game life a living hell.

Dev's giving out founder codes

Quote:

If you are still wanting to get in on the alpha or beta of EverQuest Next Landmark but you haven't procured a Founder's Pack, you might want to follow the devs on Twitter. What started with Franchise Director Dave Georgeson tossing out a free code in a Tweet on Monday has snowballed into multiple devs offering packs via hidden pictures and multi-tweet puzzles. And the fun continues today! If you want to get in on the action, you'll need to follow: @DaveGeorgeson, @terryjmichaels, @omeeddariani, @Rosierap, @mhigby, and @PurrfectStorm. But we warn you, you'll have to be quick to nab these; the codes have been redeemed within seconds!

Any @EQNLandmark fans out there? I've been given a Founders Pack code to give out today, so stay tuned for that!

i gotta go do some work but GL guys!

Gogan 01-29-2014 10:49 AM

Landmark is the content creation tool part of the game, right? I'll pass on that and wait for the actual game to be released.

Blake 01-29-2014 12:06 PM

i thought this is the founder packs for the alpha/beta and all the ingame perks.

missed the code anyways.

SOE lifts EQN Landmark alpha NDA

Yooxra 02-03-2014 09:01 AM

Seeing lots of posts like this so far about EQNL alpha already.

http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/02...-eqn-landmark/

Looking good so far.

Gogan 02-03-2014 10:23 AM

Sounds like Minecraft with better graphics so far. I guess that's all it's supposed to be, but I'm curious how it will ultimately tie into EQN. Seems like they need to become a single game at some point.

Yeah. So far it looks like they want alpha to only last 2 months. Then beta. They want to release this year, EQNL that is. Looks like they are trying to get EQNL out before fall.

Looking forward to more information about EQN. Cause I don't think we'll see anymore information about it till EQNL releases. Very interested in seeing how the games tie together and what EQN has to offer in the other areas of the game that aren't building.

It is on my short list of games that might take up some of my time in the future.

That chick is pretty annoying ("**gasp** You can make a door now!!"), but I'm kinda tempted to go purchase the Founder's pack and check this out. Wonder how hard it is to find available plots now though.

Yep she was annoying. I did watch the whole hour. She said that the alpha, least her server didn't seem that crowded. I kinda want to get a pack also just to play. They said somewhere that if you bought one and disliked the game for any reason they would refund your money with no questions asked to keep your money in any way, except that they would like to know why you disliked it for improvements.

I can see myself trying to make something that had a tall tower to climb and a huge castle standing on top of it, like on a toothpick skinny tower. Or something totally underground.

pvp is coming to landmark soon, im assuming it will be the sameish

Unlike the earlier games in the franchise, the classes in EverQuest Next are not a one-time choice that players are stuck with for the remainder of that character's life. Instead, players can swap out the classes and use the skills and weaponry of that class in different situations. With over 40 plus classes promised to be available at launch, that's a lot of flexibility.
O.O

Cleric sounds like a fun class. Getting excited about this game again.

Yep

Seems like it's almost round 3 of a good MMO time. UO+EQ for 1, Shadowbane+wow for 2, least for me.

EQN is exciting people with something fresh. Now that Blizzard's wow base is almost halved we start to see talk on this http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bli.../1100-6421751/ which kind of hints that they know it's almost time to start really thinking about a WoW2 again since titan failed. Specially with titan falling off. Almost hoping that this next wow xpac bombs forcing them to think about another mmo again sooner than later. This sorta reminds me when EQ was reaching it's glory days end and wow came in to pick up the crumbs since EQ2 was going another direction. Now that wow seems like it's coming to it's glory days end(did for me xpac ago), they know they will have big competition with EQN is why this starts to come up. If EQN turns out to be great wow will lose out like EQ did when wow released.

Gogan 12-17-2014 10:28 AM

Big update to Landmark today, bringing full PvE:

http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/12...-full-time-in/

Plus the team will be shifting to EQN full-time starting next year.

Yooxra 12-17-2014 11:24 AM

Nice! Can't wait to see updates rolling out for EQN next year.

Yooxra 02-24-2015 10:06 AM

You guys heard Sony sold SoE. This was about a month ago. Not sure how I feel about looking forward to EQN now. They aren't surpose to sell out mmo's till 5 years in. Very sad.

EVERQUESTING: IS EVERQUEST NEXT IN TROUBLE?
http://massivelyop.net/2015/02/26/ev...ble/#more-1161

Quote:

Can it get worse? Oh yes, it can. The next big kick to consumer confidence was the announcement that Storybricks was no longer partnered on the project. This revolutionary AI was one of — if not the — biggest factor in setting this game up as the next big thing.
Sad to see this happen. Anyone following knew this kind of stuff was gonna happen. Oh well. Just puts me back to where I was before, not looking forward to much in the mmo area of gaming.
