everquest 1 reboot/expansion with voxel and forgelight

quseio

since some eq fans are disapointed in the mangling of the lore and the art direction and classless direction  and no camping  ( appareenty) and other things

 

I thought it would be fun to  imagine a eq1 rebooted with  voxel and forgelight tech, and started fresh state( maybe some small vet bonus u can grind as well)

I  dont mind  most of the models except the kerran  hes just to big and the dark elf/shudder no horns please

I would start it off thusly kerrans can be played and once SoL is released you can become a vahshir as part of a quest

Iksar, have a small community somewhere off of the dessert of ro part of  their newb experience is building/repairing their town which is under constant attack by  sand giants and other  dessert critters once kunark is released they start at either  place

frogloks get unlocked when firona vi is retaken.. it starts off evil and  i think the retakeing would happen sometime after kunark is launched the kunark landing zone is a shoal area off of fv that has a  sort of boat/dock area as a city

vet bonuses for things like , bic and expansion wide quests like it    aaa number you get a stat bonus which you can grind out maybe via a reincarnation system or something ie  restarting over at lvl 1 but keeping gear and abilities nothing huge but it gives people a reason to go back to  newbie zones, not something you have to do but for the minmaxers they will want to do it

 expansion wide quests like bic  give  decorations  houseing stuff epics would be solely ornaments for houseing 

The Lore is  set some time after eq1  so the storys in eq1 would see resolution  in this like  katta  being cured and  such

The final war between the discordian gods and the norrathian gods of order result in the creation of a new norrath some things will and wont happen that happend in eq  or they already did

There would be some roaming random ais  useing emergent stuff but Crush and minions will always be in crushbone or at least trying to retake it and you can help or hinder them

 

there would be sabotage quests to burn and destroy stuff and fix it i wouldnt mind seeing a alt rule server where when you do such a quest you become temp pvp flagged anyone can attack you but you cant attack them unless they attack you

 

I think   pop would not exist as it did in eq1  the gods would do lots of planer incursions around norrath instead ( think  the lost temple of cazic thule or the deepest guk or like in eq2 innoruks scar)

thered be challenges set by their avatars, so instead of omg lets kill and take innoruks loot  you "face his avatar" in combat and or  his minions i think killing off gods so  soon is bad if ever you get to kill a god it would be inservice  of another god and he or she would help...like solusk  ro vs mayoung but instead of "killing" them both you  thwart mayoung or if evil  you help mayoung

now you could turn around and  Try and kill solusk to but  they would be set so hard as to be unkillable without another gods help .. at least for many expansions houseing would be like in eq1 but all the neighbor hoods are reached from the various cities and if you want a neriak themed neighborhood you got to become a neriak citizen which would be very hard for   say humans

if theres something you would do different post it

 

Who knows maybe they will do something like this, imo eq 1 needs a reboot badly its stuck in a rut of gear inflation gods are dieing left and right, whats left to do when youve jumped the shark with a  rocket powered unicycle ?

and keep eq1 running for those who still  wish to play it as  it is currently im sure there would still be enough for a server or 2 no matter eq1 reboot or eqn

If EQ1 is ever rebooted it will be at the hands of its fans.

SOE has done a pretty good job developing more than 1 EQ game in the past concurrently but I doubt they would bother with any new titles.

I would be ecstatic if they did this with EQOA... that game had huge potential, and unfortunately, is "dead" now. They should re-release it for the PS4, even if it is just emulated... If they choose to redo it, however, with new voxel features and others... *drool*..

quseio

dont really want a  totally new game i want eq1 with the  construction and destruction of eqn and throw in some new stuff to like  mount  growth and i want the aas and lvl rebooted start the game fresh with a link to the origional via a vetran award
