Zoneless Classic Everquest Faydwer Run

- By utilizing the community-created Lantern toolset, I have re-created the classic Everquest continent of Faydwer in the Unity engine. Unlike classic Everquest this version has no zones! However there are no NPCs or monsters and and there is a lot of missing or broken content and features. This is purely a hobby endeavor and this project is not available for download as doing such would violate Everquest's EULA.

I love seeing videos like this. This gives me hope that in a few years people will muster their talents and completely recreate a modern Everquest 1 experience!
awesome. i wish all of you eq updaters would come together and create a new take on the old world of norrath
Sir, your hobby project is majestic and awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing your work. I'm knocking on 40's door and feel like an enthralled teenager all over again. :D
Great job.
I played EQ1 from the Kunark Era up until Gates of Discord/Omens of War.
I was always interested in the background behind the game and bought official books explaining the nuts and bolts (the old official Atlas of Norrath was one. I always found it funny that because of the mechanics of the game engine back in the day, the boat trip from Freeport to Butcherblock was actually East to West. A real pathing of the boat showed it took a wonky course to get from port to port. Good times.
Crushbone and Meldrath mines would have been so cool in this version!
Seeing a seamless run thru my old stomping grounds has been magical. Its amazing to me how something as "simple" (I've no clue if it actually is) as changing the lighting really changes the mood and feel of places. Been nice revisiting my nostalgia.
Awesome work, love EQ. This is really great. Love amazing passion projects like this. I’d love to play a “project 1999” style recreation of EQ with this graphics. Growing up, and moving into WoW and other MMOs eventually, one of the things my friends and I always wanted was EverQuest updated with “modern” graphics. Of course the style of eq has its charm, but something like this is so cool. Great work! Would love to support this in any way! I’m sure others feel the same!
This hits me sooo hard in the nostalgia it physically hurts. How many times have I made that run to the boat... Even swam the ocean once.
This is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your hard work and passions with the public.
Really enjoyed this. Woud love to see you use a different model for you character as the robot feels funny :)
Wow original Eq player here from beta / launch days ... thanks for this
This is amazing! I played this religiously from 99 until Gates of dicord. I'd love to see a playable EQ Emu version of this. Wow just wow. Why the he'll hasn't Daybreak done this? It would pump new life into a truly epic game. I miss EQ. This makes me want to unpack my old cd's.
This is wonderful dude. I’ve watched the the Antonica and Odus videos as well. I love what you’ve done with this project. It’s such a nice, fresh perspective on Norrath. I know you’ve spent a lot of your free time on these and it really shows. Amazing work! Is there any chance of you publicly sharing these files? I’m sure there are countless EverQuest fans who would love to explore these custom zones! I know I would lol.
I love this! First person would take it to the next level ;)
I play in 3rd person unless I cant see inside :p
You literally just made the game 10x harder... no more "Train to zone" in shout. You'll probably hear, "SOMEONES TRAIN IS KILLING EVERYONE!!!!
LMAO I had the same thought
Just awesome work. Love the project and have been keeping an eye on it. Thank you for sharing this passion with us!
The EQ community is doing more work than the troons at daybreak.
This is pretty great. I've had the idea for a personal project of recreating the cities of EQ in UE5 with modern models (that I'd make) and then eventually branching out to the wider world so seeing something like this is super inspiring. Keep up the great work!
Pretty sure there is another creator here on TH-cam that has been doing some EQ in UE5 and has several videos out already if you want to see how that is working out for him.
Wow what i wouldnt give for a Everquest coded like p99 with graphics like this
Just shown this video to a friend of mine. Him:
player: train to zone!
monsters: mwahahaha!
Beautiful
awesome , looking great !
this video give me so many memories.... Thank you.
someone hire this dude!!
This is fantastic.
This is just so cool!
Train to Orc Lift! This is AMAZING!!! I wish you owned the EQ IP! Also will the Android class get SoW? :)
I think something to take into account is that the zones aren't supposed to account for all of the landmass of the map.. it would just be tiny tiny portions of the forests that we got to visit.
True, but compression of major landscapes is how it's done in pretty much any big game world, regardless of genre. No player will want to actually traverse a mountain range or a forest that would take days or weeks of hiking to do so.
I’ve never seen sunlight in Gfay before. Wow.
Great work! I can't wait to give you my money!
As a Bard, this sort of takes away the ability to train groups sitting at the zone line.
Nice job! Im working on a strategy rpg that has tons of EQ inspired cjties, race/class combos, scenes. not an mmorpg aporoach (impossible for a 1 man op)
this is crazy cool, most impressive are the trees, simple 90s graphics, efficient on space, conveys the art,effective performance
Really nice. It sure has a realistic vibe to it. My vision isn't clear so that is kind of how I see the world, a bit fuzzy.
Fantastic!!!!
Nice!
Helllyeahhh
Super cool
Your I, Robot thing really needs some Jboots
very nice 👍
Mmm looove these zones, nostalgia overload. How would you reconcile a zoneless world if you remade EQ gameplay... if you put guards there zonelines lose their dualistic safety/dangerous spot element when people train to zone. Maybe weak guards that can handle a couple mobs but a full on train still leads to a total wipe? hmm
EQ is such an amazing game at its core that it could simply be remastered and the UI modernized a bit and be a raving success compared to everything thats been put out in recent years. It's like the Half-Life 3 for DnD games. Just a whisper of it and people start foaming at the mouth in anticipation of something exceptional.
DayBreak needs to get with you and some of these others using unreal5 engine and get a revamped EQ in the works.
Since mobs leash these days this would be sweet.
This is awesome, keep itbup l, subin to ure channrl to keep updated on ure progress, would love a vid tour or kelethin when its complete
Woah
Amazing. Do you have any net code or just single player?
No multiplayer functionality to speak of at the moment.
This is amazing! Any chance you'd ever share these zone connections or how to do it? I'd love to play around with it in Unity
Since this project contains content owned by Daybreak, I can't redistribute it. Maybe someday they will ease up on the EULA and make this possible.
Wow
This is amazing, were would #cshome fit in? lol
I would love to play this, but this game is going to be ridiculously hard without zone lines
Will have to change mob aggro to chain back after a very very large distance or something, otherwise you could train massive mobs to lowbie areas.
@@rdizzy1 out of the way noobs, we're training Lord Kazzak to Stormwind!
just make mobs loose aggro like a normal game
chuck trying to do this with a different classic game. Anyway to contact you on discord and pick your brain?
You can try DM to Chucktropolis on the Lantern EQ discord.
Is this open source?
Not at this time due to EQ's EULA since this contains their content.
Introduce player housing and use the fake buildings for us to purchase
That is actually a great idea for how to make use of new playable buildings. I could see those Felwithe towers having player apartments in them.
No brownie rooted you and then one shotted. Not classic experience.
You didnt visit the chessboard :-(
This is amazing! I played this religiously from 99 until Gates of dicord. I'd love to see a playable EQ Emu version of this. Wow just wow. Why the he'll hasn't Daybreak done this? It would pump new life into a truly epic game. I miss EQ. This makes me want to unpack my old cd's.
