Agreed, I think old style EQ graphics but with a lot more attention to detail and more props/envrionmental details would be great. Still keeping things low poly though

I've followed this game since it was announced on and off, and all my EQ pals have been hyped, but after all this time it still looks like a dumpster fire, I'm pretty sure I'll be skipping it.

I mean minecraft is a multibillion dollar industry now, though I get that's not quite the same thing.

It's sort of a pipe dream of mine to recreate Everquest in Unreal, keeping the same map layouts and graphics, but adding a ton of depth. I want hidden little interactive items and events everywhere, I want cities to feel like everything is custom and hand made, I want there to be lore that's evident just from the environment, like what you see in Myst and Riven. So basically just a lot of density to the environmental content. I want someone new to go into North Freeport and be able to explore for hours and keep finding cool new things and slowly piece together storyline from it. When you sit and camp at a single place killing mobs for hours, I want there to be more to do in an area between spawns and not just have 5 polygons worth of sand and a 3 polygons of a tent.

This is more what I wish Pantheon was, instead of just another RNG poopfest. I feel like it's a more realistic goal than trying to recreate Vanguard with 1/100th the budget.

Just a guess on my part, but it's still in pre-alpha. The goal was for alpha to start before the end of 2018, but they still haven't announced a date. If we imagine alpha starts Q1 2019, beta on Q4 2019 seems realistic.

As far as I know, they're still grey-boxing zones, designing classes only up to level 30 or so, implementing their IMMERSIVE QUESTING SYSTEM™, etc.

Seems like even though devs can lose their jobs easily they find work at other studios pretty easily. Or it comes off that way as quite a few form carbine went to blizzard.

A lot of Carbine people worked at Blizzard before they joined Carbine.

Mike believed in the shooting star, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then,but that's no matter. Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... and then one fine morning-
So we beat on, subs against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Cool society we got here, "Don't work in this field because you could get hosed overnight" and we the player base is like "Whatever as long as the horse dicks flop realistically"
