I was under the impression that the marketing strategy was one of the better aspects of the EQNext and Landmark shows. They sold quite alot of founder packs on talk only. Seeing how void the Landmark worlds are today, is because gameplay is severely lacking, IMHO, not of a failed marketing strategy.
I feel like next was in deep trouble when they couldn't even manage to keep the branding on it's sister game. I thought this guy was great and I'm even more amused that people actually allowed him to offend them. I hope this guy finds something fun to be a part of. As for EQN... I'm not so hopeful as the "tools for EQN" game has pretty much been at a standstill over the last several months. I joined back into it after 3 months and it was literally the same game. Only small insignificant changes had been made. Now it's like look we have health and a very basic combat system! Your months of waiting have been rewarded with the addition of very early pre alpha mechanics in late closed beta!
Has anyone turned on a TV in the past 15 years? This is how contests are handled these days. Does it hurt the brand? How about we go ask the brand manager of Idol while he wipes his rear with $100 bills. If you don't like to have something judged then don't enter it into a contest, that simple.
I know I will miss Omeed and his trolling of WP users like myself.
All I know is that he helped sucker a lot of you guys into buying founders/pre-order of a game that is going to fail...It will probably be the ESO/Wildstar of the EQ series. So all in all he did a good job and left at the right time to then not be associated with something that is just going to shit in it's own pants and let it roll down into it's socks.
Now he looks good like as if he just left on his own accord and ready to take on another project.
I tip my hat to you sir but I will not bow because you didn't manage to convinve me to buy your fail game.

I am curious how someone who didn't buy the game can have the opinion that it is a fail game. Especially when it hasn't even been released yet and even when it does the game is F2P.
Originally posted by threefeet hopefully everyone at soe will get the hint: these eq series arent going anywhere. soe was abt to dump online gaming anyway, just get it over with and bail on all the eq already.
I'm sure SOE will get a hint more grounded in reality than one drummed up by a bitter person.
Play Landmark and we will talk about reality. EQNext is falling further into the suck vortex the more that is known about it. I think this guy moved on at a good time. Once EQNext underperforms the only thing they will be able to do is sell off the AI technology or use it to make a serious game if they can pool enough money from the founders packs to fund future projects.
Wild ass speculative assumptions will not make your wishful, biased and outright silly remarks any more valid.
EQN is fine and remains highly looked forward to on just about every social media site there is.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

Ignore blatant haters who do nothing but wishful thinking because their beloved IP doesn't do a 2.0 of the most boring MMO imaginable. EQN will be the most innovative and revolutionary MMO to ever come out and people get pissT cause it isn't EQ1 all over again. With little to no regard to the history that is EQ and the stagnation it employed on the genre as a whole. WoW is EQ redone and is the reason we've had 10 years of failed Themepark clone after Themepark clone.

Regardless of any of this, I can only say the same thing I say about anyone leaving SOE...I hoped they kicked SMEDLEY in the balls on the way out the door...cause I'm pretty sure that should be a thing....as well as anyone who randomly meets him on the street. Just saying...

I'm pretty sure he wears a cup for just this reason.
I guess no one here reads the EQNext Reddit. He formally posted on this post explaining the exact reason as to why he left.
Quote from the post below. Directly from Omeed himself.
"It was 100% my choice to leave. I was not fired or asked to leave. I was not “given the option to resign or be fired.” It was not about making jokes on livestreams or a few off-color tweets. I didn’t leave due to personal or family issues (though I did laugh at someone on this thread's suggest that I left to go into rehab).
I chose to leave because my direct supervisors didn't support the community-first marketing approach we’ve taken on the EQ Next/Landmark teams. After months of trying every way I could to convince them that we had the right approach, I felt it was better for me (and my sanity) to move along."

Seriously.... wtf?
Play a GAME, in a FANTASY environment, to talk about REALITY?
