  • 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!

    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 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.

    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!

    • @OneKillQuota

      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.

  • @william421
    @william421 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @chucktropolis9560
      @chucktropolis9560  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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

  • @whiteglovestudio

    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.

      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.

      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.
