Perhaps the gods haven't chosen what they will stand for or asked their worshipers to connect them to. The gods are young and war is sweeping through these young Deities.
Could be like something out of The Rift War Saga, war rages across the heavens and old powers are being replaced with these new upstart gods.
The Dragon Lords are coming to an end, hmm getting carried away here.
Well people think of gods as being a bit more eternal than mortals on the ground.
Naggy in the picture appears to look different, but is still a red fire dragon. A Firiona of a different universe learning to be a ranger is not completely out of control and matches with the theme that EQN is going to be "familiar, but different"
If the artist had made everything exactly the same as it was in the original picture, then it would just be the same. Which is not what EQN is. EQN is not more of the same.

WTH are you going on about, i'm actually half agreeing with the poster. Please don't lecture me on what EQN is going to be, fact is you know feck all about what EQN it's going to be.
2/8/13 is going to be a fun day, don't know if i'm looking forward to people eating humble pie or the reveal more.
You honestly think they would look to some 1987 War 40k style of art rather than the MMO's sitting right in front of them?
People who are making the games right now, especially the industry leading professionals, are not teenagers for the most part. You can even look at all the panels SOE holds with their development team and most of them are clearly ranging from their early 30's, up into their late 40's and even beyond. Dave Georgeson and Smedley are both in their 40s.
The people making games right now often had their roots in table top RPGs, modding games like Doom and Quake, etc etc. You're being naive if you think that the artists, animators, designers, developers and writers weren't inspired or affected by the experiences they had in the 80s and 90s.

I thought you were being sarcastic. But if you weren't, then just take it as if I'm also agreeing with you.
Yes I agree, I can't wait for August 2nd so people get to see exactly why EQN is going to be the only game in town that they're going to want to play.
Sometimes a lil change up can breathe new life into your world.
Now if the theme music ends up being a rap-remix, I'm out....
I do have a breaking point...
There are 3 types of people in the world. 1.) Those who make things happen 2.) Those who watch things happen 3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
im starting to wonder what community is worse, the crotchity old EQ die hards who can't accept anything new or the screaming kids in WoW.
don't make me sad, people. please.
We're not all crotchity! Don't let the few that are give you the impression we're all like that. EQ still has one of the best communities on the planet to this day. You'll never find a group of friendlier people than if you log into EQ today and tell everyone you're a new person looking to get started in norrath.
hey, i speak with a bit of my tongue in my cheek. i started with UO and moved to EQ in late '99 where i stayed off and on until 2004 when i moved to eq-2, wow and every other MMO that has ever been released.
if they can mix my first 2 games together (UO sandbox and EQ themepark) into King MMO EQ:N i will be more than happy, no matter how it looks. i do like the new art style though, the vah'shir really reminds me of Rengar.

I agree. If they can capture that excitement all school games like LoK, DF and UO had, and mix it with the great things we loved from EQ, and put it all in a modern package on a solid engine? Man, I'm not going to be able to get any work done. Gunna have to break my legs and phone in a disability check lol.

Except that it's not a change up, this is the same WoW-ish art style that so many themeparks have been using over the last 8 years. A change up would have been a more LotRO or AoC style graphics.

Eh, all I see at the moment is a drawing. Not going to base any sort of disdain off that until I see the final product as a whole. Even then I still might not care.
As long my post, it was aimed at the point of Firiona having a bow and sword.

Not sure why people say that all recent MMOs are cartoony? I can't think of a single AAA MMO since WoW and WAR that was stylised / cartoon instead of pseudo-realistic. Wild star will be, but its not out yet.

Meh, her having a bow and a sword is such SUCH a smaller issue than her having a piece of blue glowing rope that they CALL a bow, and an entirely nonfunctional looking "sword".
And from the leaks it's more or less confirmed this is what the game will look like.

Let's see. We have Nagafen, two what look to be humans, but one wielding a big ass mace like a shaman (Barbarian?) would, you've got FV the ranger who doesn't know to put up her bow when she draws a swords. There's the World of Warcraft Orc, who someohow is now an Ogre, the giant ass Kerran, a thick legged Dark-Elf/Draenai battling a wood elf or maybe halflfing rogue, a dwarf with a big ass hammer and then... well, there's that little dude, looking like an AD&D Kobold. What the hell is he?
I thought the artist did a good job with the re-imagining of the classic EQ box art. Ol' Naggy is looking really cool and I'm liking the more modern look.
i think you neeed new eyes man and for thr guy that thinks fv looked hot, gawd she looks 13 years old who got into her moms makeup keith would be furious if he saw this

But the people who like to complain about people who have legitimate complaints don't follow logic or compassion.

You guys are missing the point. The original concept art is superior.
Well you know what they say about opinions.

As long as EQN is fun, I will play it.

Haha, well even if it did I'd just turn it off like I do with all other MMORPGs.

SWTOR, Rift, GW2 to an extent.
She is also wearing a gold cloak which confirms she is actually a member of the City Watch in King's Landing in Westeros...true story!
You know nothing, Firiona with bow!
