It is tempting to wait. I was logged on last night waiting to get a claim on the new server. Ended up going to bed, and jumped on as soon as I woke up. New server had a few places out on the edge, but they mostly sucked.

Exact same story for me. I just went and found a claim on Courage somewhere.

Minas Tirith. Not mine



Wow. That is absolutely some of the best work I have seen done in this game so far.

The game will be free to play. Founder packs just get you in the Beta and provide some bonus crap.


Landmark is a completely separate game that will be developed alongside EQN.

Maybe these companies have finally figured out that no one wants another unpolished WoW clone with some gimmick as a selling point.

Wasn't Everquest Next supposed to be the antithesis of a WoW clone though?

Speaking more to the downturn and constant failure of MMOs than specifically to this pile of poo poo.

The actual problem now is companies are trying NOT to do that as much as possible and then at some point going "oh wait, this isn't actually any fun in practice". Same reason why Blizzard's Titan project was canceled.

I don't agree with that. Most of the smaller MMOs trying to separate themselves have been lovely unpolished games that would have failed regardless of any similarities to WoW.

Except now instead of there being like 3-4 other :airquote:Major:airquote: MMOs on the market like when WoW launched, there's like 2 dozen with significant US/EU players.

Define significant.

Not for a while, apparently Columbus Nova is investing in Gawker despite the 115 million dollar fine. If they can do that, they can afford to keep EQ/Planetside running.

Oh poo poo, they have tons of acquisitions.

Why are they buying all of these lovely half-dead companies? Must be getting them cheap.
