The game was doomed the day they fired Georgeson.
I still wanted to believe in it, but I had little hope.
why?
I get that he is a personable guy, but EQN was a train wreck under his leadership. same with SOE overa…

World of warcraft for instanced dungeons.
Toss up between Everquest and Ultima Online for open world dungeons.
Ultima Online dungeons were a bit primative in terms of PvE, but the player social aspect in them was pretty fun. They dynamic of blu…

I want you guys to think about something. They said EQN "just isn't fun" yet they're continuing on with Landmark. Digest that.
I find that very bizarre.

Dave's 27 year record of never failing includes Landmark.
I get that Dave is a likable guy, but if he thinks Landmark is not a failure, then his definition of what he could accomplish in EQNext and pretty much every other gamer are two completely…

If someones building had to many voxels that alone would lag out even the most powerful system. Slower net speeds would bog people down. I thought they would have dropped the 100% destructible world to fix it. The overhead wa…

Wait, what? They're canceling EverQuest Next to focus on launching Landmark, whose only real reason to exist is as a stepping stone toward creating EverQuest Next?

I don't think it has anything to do with lack of ability, or being over ambitious.
I think it has all to do with the fact that a lot of the people that would play Everquest Next are the people playing Everquest 1 and 2. And…
