Are we FINALLY getting Everquest 3?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- A new job posting from Daybreak games has caused a tremendous stir around the potential for a new Everquest MMO. And there actually might be some substance here. There's a lot of smoke and where there's smoke there's fire.
Could this be we're finally getting Everquest 3? Ever since Everquest Next was cancelled I've been waiting for something just like this.

People say don't get your hopes up but.. judging by this.. it's hard not to..
EQ3 on unreal engine 5 with modern ai level npc interactions. That's what I need in my life.. ❤
Agreed!
@@zed4229it can be done with the right vision
Just update the original game. New engine, same floaty feeling, update combat
Keep classes keep mobs, keep art simple and derived from eq1
They can print money
Same
EQ1 was still the most memorable mmo I have ever played.
for me it's the same. The problem is devs apparently don't understand why it is and they probably won't remake this feeling again. I was recently checking EQ to see what characters I created over the years and the game is completly different. When I was starting the game for example, for me and my friend one of the most important skills in almost every character was to have forage, so we have food and water and other stuff. Today? It's probably completly useless and irrelevant skill. And that's bad. There is way more stuff like that - completly different soloing techniques for mage/necro/druid (aoe)/bard/chanter and wizard anyone? Gone.
@@tutkarz I tried to log in and game couldn't find me, which was depressing as a I had a 50 wizard and 50 monk I played in the 90's. Parked both of them in the tunnel and logged out. As for EQ2 I had my newer wizard/monk sitting in the library in Plains of Knowledge. As for the video, I do hope to see a EQ3 in my lifetime.
@@robertbritz257 I also would like to try out EQ3, what I said is that I doubt it will reintroduce that EQ feeling because there is too much emphasis on questing in all mmo games. Sure, there could be quests but dynamic and/or repeatable so player can stay in one zone of choosing for long time. Not story telling so you just traveling from one to another like in wow.
I see both sides of the coin, some want to get directly into boss fights and some want to quest. Yeah the collect 10 beatles or 10 worms is sometimes boring, but quests are the heart of all MMO's, look at D4 not a true MMO like EQ, but lots of quests, but if you just followed the storyline you could bypass the 300+ side quests. Personally I love quests, in EQ2 I was in the top 5 for quests completed, same for RIFT. But that's not for everybody. I just want to enjoy the MMO it being EQ3 or whatever the next true MMO is. Questing after work, and boss fights on the weekends.
@@robertbritz257 I know there will be quests. But quests should be totally optional and not required. They should not block any content. Basically all mmos force you to do quests and leave no other options. And that's why I don't play them.
IF this is truly because they have EQ3 on the menu, that would be absolutely amazing - Hopefully they hire someone who actually played the games AND is willing to listen to the community for input. A complete remaster of EQ1 with a new game engine and better QoLs, that would be something to wait for.
That would be my dream game, a copy of EQ1 using modern graphics and controls. They can copy named enemies/bosses 1:1 and I'd be absolutely fine with that :P
@@ChrisWhiton Same, this IS the dream - Nothing will ever really beat EverQuest, but i would just love to see it modernized with graphics and interface and stuff that makes the game more enjoyable
The sand giant running up just got me in my feels
I have waited for this for years. I'm in my 50s now. They better get busy designing this before I'm no longer around to see the game! 😮🎉❤😊😂
same
Awesome job staying on top of developments in EQ and Darkpaw!!
Inrit! Thank you so so much! You are so kind. The super-thanks is greatly appreciated and your kind words. Have a great day.
How did you donate on a video?
@@TimTheHooper there's a button called "super thanks" you can use it on any video on youtube as long as that creator is a TH-cam partner. It rolled out I want to say...a year ago?
Given that each year's progression servers get a little more sparse, daybreak has gotta be working on something to keep itself going.
I've liked their direction under EG7 and with Jenn Chan. They're more open and communicative than Smedley and Columbus Nova. At least with EG7 having investor docs we get even more info than we normally would get, like, sub numbers.
@@Redbeardflynn I really want EQ to have a future. The lore, worldbuilding, and frankly just some of the memories from '99 are pretty central to how I view fantasy content in general across every genre. It's as foundational to me as D&D is to my older gen-x peers, or LOTR to the protonerds that came before them.
EG7 has also acquired Piranha Games, who is the current maker of MechWarrior games, and MW5 has only gotten better since their acquisition began.
I'd LOVE to see some investment in revamping the level 1-120 experience in EQ1 to make Live playable without having to pay for 6 accounts. We'll see!
I love EverQuest.. got a picture with Dave on my wall, and a signed painting of the lady FV! That being said I am all in when it comes to Pantheon Rise of the Fallen. The minds set of community first, the development vision of CP, and just the approach really is what I am after!
@@aarinp3 I backed Pantheon for a $1k VIP backer pack a bunch of years ago, and ngl I kind of regret it. Without violating NDA, I will say that there's not a whole lot of Everquest left in Pantheon. It's sort of become a vanguard reboot, which is definitely not my thing.
@@madprophetus I appreciate the candidness of this. While this game is still in Alpha hopefully PRotF will look towards it's community for ways to improve. Redbeardflynn did a recent video talking about the state of MMOs and development. It's easy to see how a title can "get lost" along the way to release. I am still willing to give them a shot and hey... If EQ3 really does launch then I will absolutely be twisting my melodies in Castle Mist Moore and not yelling "train to zone..." ;)
Considering a group of us are currently playing EQ2, any time another EQ comes out, we will totally be there :)
Thanks Redbeard! Great work. Regularly impressed how you manage to keep making exciting content for this niche group of dorks =P
😂 agreed!
EQ1 is still the MMO standard I hold all other MMOs to. What an amazing title it was. You definitely had to build relationships with guild mates to accomplish harder things.
The description for this unannounced title really does give me hope that they want to bring back this dynamic of interplayer dependence that made EQ1 such a great game to play with friends made during the course of your play time.
Here's hoping!
Damn we can only hope.. just bring in the Monsters & Memories team and let's make it happen
I mean nothing says they couldn't apply!
I’d sooner them make mnm, way less IP baggage.
@@lifetotheminimal1211 That's true.. just hard to pass up the IP of EQ with so much to build off of
Here's hoping!
In her interview with The Everquest Show back in March(?), JChan hinted at something really big planned for the 25th anniversary next year. Maybe that's when they'll announce whatever this?
I think that might be too early given they're just now posting the Creative Director position but who knows? I'd be more likely to assume either a scaled down small version of SOE's conventions they used to do for the 25th anniversary or perhaps a UI-remake reveal or something like that.
Before anyone starts working on EQ3. They should play a MUD, circa the 1990's; alot.
The spirit of Everquest is to overcome adversity through teamwork, through sheer determination, or alone, through sheer determination. Yes, that often means players don't get what they think they need but they think they need it and that matters; alot. Though, it wouldn't hurt to be extra generous from time to time.
"Is it finally here?!" I think people said this when EQ: Next and Landmark were announced. We can only hope. I can't say I would buy in pre-launch unless they had a release date, but I would definitely try to be there for day 1.
I've been putting off a video on the fall of EQNext and Landmark so I don't have to re-live it...painful!
Please for the love of god I hope this isn't copium, or hopeium. I do agree with you here, I just hope whatever they are working on is a bit further along than just the idea phase of development because having Darkpaw releasing something roughly the same time that Pantheon comes out, to shake up the MMO scene a little by pitting 2 similarly designed games against each other could be exactly what the genre desperately needs. And right now would be the perfect time to do it, as pretty much everything available is really stale, and most newer MMO's are going back to their roots currently since modern style does not have the staying power. I can tell you exactly why that is too, there is just no sense of achievement in current MMO's. When you do something cool or get a new piece of gear, it just means nothing since it is so underwhelming in the overall aspect of the gameplay loops that are available right now. Look at Everquest or WoW classic or OSRS for example, time invested vs dopamine granted is much much higher in these two titles, nowadays its just boost to max in a few hours or heck even pay to boost to max then just roll your face across the keyboard for a few weeks and boom you are BiS, nothing you do in modern games matters. This is exactly what ruins the games for me, no friends made, no connection with the game world, you just run in circles and jump around in the main cities while you wait for dungeon finder to pop because you have no incentive to actually go out and do anything interesting, and going out on it's own merit isn't even interesting, and this is exactly why nothing currently can hold my attention other than Everquest P99, WoW classic, or OSRS. Anyways I am rambling at this point, and you may or may not agree with me on any of this stuff, or you very well might, I would be interested though to hear your opinions on my thoughts. Nice video :)
The only thing I'd caution is not knowing, even if it is Everquest 3, what it will be like. I mean, they don't even know yet! The Creative Director position would have a lot of say so it'll be interesting to see who they hire. I like their core pillars, though. They sound closer to what EQ and even EQ2 offered than lets say...what Throne and Liberty is offering.
@@Redbeardflynn Yeah T&L does not interest me at all. At the point the only thing that interests me is M&M, Project: Gorgon, and Pantheon (and honestly Pantheon is sort of losing me at this point, they keep going further and further from Brad's vision, granted his vision was a pill fueled psychedelic trip but it still was what it should have been). So if EQ3 is going to be a real thing, my body is ready.
You completely nailed it.
As an avid EQ2-er since launch. This news is exciting, I’m cautiously optimistic for reasons. The idea of something fresh coming out in the near-ish future is pretty awesome. Hopefully this leads to something we can all fumble through and enjoy together. Thanks for uploading this! Happy hunting!
I feel like it would be so easy to make a successful EQ 3 by simply copying EQ 1, updating the graphics, and making the zones a little bigger and more able to support more players.
Not quite but I'd like something similar. EQ1 you would literally camp a spawn for endless hours to level or for drops. It would be hard pressed to keep that same theme up but also creating instances would be problematic as well. I don't see that many being able to camp the same spawn of monsters for hours on end as in the old days. It would lose a huge chunk of the potential playerbase.
@@chrismacqueen4891 Not saying you're wrong or that I disagree with you, but for instance, if you look at what they did in Pantheon, where they are trying to replicate Unrest (Google: "Sevil Manor") it's interesting how the zone looks identical to Unrest, but is super massive that's believable that hundreds of people could be inside of it at once. The maze, gazebo, yard, and house are all massive.
Hope but don't get to hyped Remember we been here before EverQuest Next. So I pretty much say let Daybreak\Darkpaw do what they want and get ready for Pantheon, Monsters & Memories and other EQ like Games and Fan Games like Lantern & Project99. No I don't believe whatever they are working on will or needs to be compared to EQN.
Hope is the best option here for sure, not hype. This hiring probably means *at least* a half decade or more depending on scope, if it gets to that point. I will be more keenly watching EG7 Quarter financials now, though...
@@Redbeardflynn Yeah keep us posted but right now I have all but Given up on Daybreak Games. I Don't give them a Penny and only visit EQ & EQ2 once in a while mainly just Oh look an Exp (Help me clear it so I can Leave). Most backing Square Enix & Blizzard & The makers of Ember's adrift.
The concept of an Everquest 3 is such a nice thought. To see the series continue into the future would be a wonderful thing to see, even if it will have it's problems. Awesome video!
I'd try it out. I loved classic eq and early eq2
Considering the time and energy sank into EQ next, it wouldn't surprise me if they took what they had and did a remake of EQ on the new engine
If they can implement a current engine, new quests, familiar characters, more user friendly (imho, EQ2 is unnecessarily complicated), improved fight mechanics, improved A.I., improved animations, etc. However, I am very skeptical of an EQ3 because it's been talked about for years and nothing ever happened. However, if I were Daybreak, I would be thinking of the future instead of releasing xpacs for the same old tired engine. That being said, the best thing about playing an MMO like EQ/EQ2 are the friendships you develop over the years and comradery during guild events.
UE5's multi-user approach is a godsend for development. ESO was HUGE compared to many MMOs out, and thats because the Hero Engine allows unlimited users to all build a game world at the same time. It was the ONLY engine with that feature. Ive said time and time again such a feature would double the speed of workflow. So the 7 years it took to develop ESO would correlate to 14 years on other engines. Due to only one user capable of editing the main game file at a time. UE5 now allows that same multi-user approach. So its the go-to engine now. I know people cry "the ue5 look/aesthetic" but that's because many indie devs buy assets off the asset store and use them. So many games look similar. An actual dev studio like daybreak/darkpaw would in essence make their own art/models and NOT have "the UE look"....
EQ 3 CONFIRMED BABY
My two cents; safe to assume it's a new EQ. That said, I'll be happy with OG EQ simply running on a modern engine.
If they just updated the graphics again, keep the current difficulty which is what makes EQ great since its not too hard but not too easy. Expand on the lore and patch up lore linking expansions from PoP forward. Keep the AA system but improve on it and call it EQ3 it would be an east buy for me.
I bought into Everquest Next...literally and sadly lost my hopes (and money). And with a 5-12-year development timeline for MMOs these days who knows where I will be in my life when and if EQ3 did launch.
I hear you!
Yeah I lost the money too on pre order / backing support. I think it was 70 bucks
That would be a Wish come true really . Please keep an eye on this and keep us updated . i am a day one betatester of EQ1 born in 55
Not gonna get my hopes up. I was a big fan of Landmark and built a lot of stuff in there with my friends before they shut it down, kinda made me jaded
I admit to getting bored of Landmark while I was playing it but I'm not a builder. I was definitely looking toward EQnext and I remember when they added combat to landmark I got *super* excited only to see it close. Very dissappointing. The silver lining, if there is one, is the people behind EQNext/Landmark are no longer at Darkpaw, even the company who owns the game has changed from SOE to EG7
I'm glad you are pouring over all the industry press releases so we don't have to...
It's my job!
Battle Bit shows us that gamers do not care about graphics. So if they simply modernize the UI and make questing easier, providing travel points, make it easier to navigate the map, and improve the guild/communication system Everquest could be king again. It couldn’t take much.
what? questing easier? please go to wow or other crap questing games. Oryginal EQ was not about questing but grinding mobs. Soloing different classes in totally different ways. Camping nameds. Twinking alts. That was true EQ experience and not stupid quests, where someone is telling you what you should do. EQ was excellent sandbox where I decide what I will do next. And that was killed and never expanded in other games. That's why people still go back to project 99. Not for quests.
@@tutkarz Dude, in order to make it accessible. You always have P99.
@@logiconlyzone sure more accessible is good, like better maps but the problem I notice is that everybody focus way too much on quests and as you can see it do not help. And p99 is very old and bugged and they don't allow multiboxing which is a shame because it's valid gameplay style.
I am glad for others, but EverQuest has a long way to go to prove they have learned from their catastrophic handling of duplication bugs from early 2004, and especially how they relate to the community.
I quit EverQuest because I could no longer bear to contribute another dime towards the salaries of the developers.
Unless I am assured that they will never lie to the player base about bugs, or deliberately misrepresent fundamentals of computer science in order to avoid responsibility or deny demonstrable facts, I will have nothing to do with EverQuest.
Unless they convincingly demonstrate that integrity is their first priority, I will not give them a penny.
After seeing how long AoC and Pantheon are taking this is just a pipe dream :P
As a former EQOA player, I'd love to see an Everquest 3 with Controller support (even if it's designed for keyboard, and is just ported to controller controls). I played that game for years and years and there's nothing currently that fills that void in the space.
Crossing fingers, hand, testicles… everything!!! 🤞 Please, Darkpaw… We need EQ3 ❤❤❤
god please. EQ was the best gaming experience I ever had. I started at UO and then went to EQ. I loved it so much. To have the game back with updated graphics would be incredible.
The good news is the high chance of a new EQ title. The bad news is it looks like they have not started development. So best case scenario is it's a new EQ mmo that launches in 6-8 years.
I would gladly take a full on remake of the original EQ trilogy in an updated engine. I actually loved the initial lore surrounding EQ2 (mainly because it banked heavily on prior knowledge of EQ lore), but while the short written pieces they offered for EQNext were solid, as a whole they felt a bit less cohesive to me. Also the fact that it became clear they were aiming for controller-based souls-like action combat in Next makes me leary of what they might try to cook up if they get to make a completely new script.
I spent a lot of time and money I wish I could get back after playing 1 and 2 for years. I can't put that kind of time into something, and I refuse to ever again pay to play a game I already paid to own! I don't know if this is E3 or if it is something else, but I do feel a little excitement at the idea they may finally get a EQ that has caught up with the times and may come out in my lifetime. I didnt invest in Everquest Next, but many in my guild did and waited for years to finally hear it was ready to release.... only to hear they killed it.
I'm glad EQ next was canceled. It was an abomination. Hopefully they don't ruin EQ 3
Well they did have a very fun game going with Landmark (Everquest Next beta) that had amazing potential... Now that ue5 has reached many of the marks that Landmark had years ago, just plug it all in and make a fun fully destructable PVE world based on Everquest and I will at least look it over. No promises as they have broken their promises too many times to count. Hey did you hear John Smedley no longer works at Amazon Game Studio and is looking for a job? Or David Georgeson... Only partly kidding... I liked them... They were visionaries before the "the game is just not fun" crowd took over...
I hope whatever they do they are closer to original EQ than EQ2. I have a soft spot for 2 but I think original EQ is just special and captures exploration and adventure better than any mmo since
I adore Everquest 1, and even plated some EQ2. If this is EQ3, that would be amazing, but I'll always come back to EQ1.
Hey Ash, how much of EQ2 would you say that you played? Did you have a lot of characters? I'm just starting out.
I'll always have a special place in my heart for Everquest but I don't envy anyone trying to make a new MMO in this era. How would you ever please old-school fans and bring in new ones that prefer modern mechanics? It's definitely an IP that has potential for growth but I fear they may make so many compromises to cast their net wide that they would end up pleasing nobody.
'Experience of pulling Ghoul Lord to King camp" should be on there.
judging by the Everquest Show teasing something big and new coming and the buildup in this narrative over the years I'd say EQ3. Let's hope my friend I want it as much as you and I know from both of us that is saying something
i sure hope they go back to the old midi music, just for the start screen. i think for a lot of us thats a heart-tugging emotional cue... i know it is for me.
Even redoing the quest system of EQ 1 to look and act more like WoW's with an improved interface would give a whole new life to the existing franchise I think - they already have the zones, the quests, the NPCs, the classes/races and world mechanics. Unreal engine graphic upgrade to existing zones would be icing on the cake, although I'll miss those floating-in-air triangle trees in Kithicor :)
Trying to copy WoW is one of the things that ruined EQ2.
This would be the best news if true. For the time being, I'll try not to hope and maybe something will happen.
Would be great to get a fully legit EverQuest game on modern hardware plus full on console support. Would be awesome to be able to experience Norrath on my couch with a xbox/ps5 controller! Would be like EQOA for the modern audience
eq on console 🤢
@@cactuss33dsAny game can be ported to a console with a good controller UX/UI.
It's just important it is ported from PC, rather than designed around consoles in the first place. The former is great for console players and everyone. The latter turns every game into garbage.
@@cactuss33ds EQOA was actually a *fantastic* MMO, and it was a PS2 exclusive.
If they’re smart they can do an EQ1 remake and just remake the original game with improved combat
I miss EQ days I love that game so much.
Extremely interesting, especially the part where your group got their asses handed to them by a sand giant 😁 My ranger spent SO much time there farming Jboots. Endless hours tracking 'a snake' trying to spawn the ancient cyclops LOL
I was so excited for EverQuest next man, so sad that was canceled. I was gonna play the hell out of it. We can only hope there’s something in the works for sure. Guess we’ll keep our eyes n ear’s pealed.
Who cares if it even is EQ3? Darkpaw does nothing about their current EverQuest problems so them making an entirely new game gives no hope that the same problems wouldn't occur in the new game. Hackers/Cheaters run rampant. They pretty much ruined what EQ was about anyways. You can find reddit's of people complaining about bots and hacks as far back as 8 years ago.
half a decade ? everquest 2 only took 3 years. Good devs can make it happen.
As mush as I'd love an EQ remake that hits all the right notes, I think this is likely for a new expansion. I don't think Darkpaw has the funding for a whole new game, nor should they, based on what EQ1&2 have turned into with all the pay2win mechanics.
I wish they would just do a remake and let me import my account/characters
Do not let Chris Perkins see this...
@@CaravaggioRMS you mean no one asked for insect husbandry? The feature where you level up the flees and ticks on your mount? It only added 36 months to the release date.
I think you may have said it RB. Next year is 25 anniversary, with all the UI revamps, 64 bit, among others. Makes sense! /crosses_fingers
I have always played eq2 back and forth over the years but like many got sucked into WoW instead. But now a days I would love a new EverQuest 3 I think it would do the mmo genre something we all need / looking for now a days.
After seeing the new art style for Pantheon... I sure hope we get an EQ3.
I have always been a WoW player, and I don't know if you ever tried the beta for Landmark, but jesus that had so much promise, and I wished it had succeeded. :( It just felt so good.
My wife actually bought me landmark founder access and I had a lot of fun it just felt empty. I had really hoped it'd progress in to EQNext to see what they could do.
its EQ next it was almost ready b4 the buyout i no because i played it... it was like 6 months away ish tops frome going live & it would massive waset for them to not bring it back
I believe Darkpaw is intensely aware that Pantheon is going down the right path and tons of EQ-lovers will migrate to PRF. They are probably scrambling to develop n EQ sequel to save their customer base.
I'm not big on the fantasy games, but i think i'd go back to this if it came back.
Would be so great -- but I am not going to be holding my breath- I am too jaded by now
If it was EQ3 on UE5, with an open world that looked as close to EQ1 as possible... but did NOT stick to the old style of combat from EQ (Like Pantheon was trying to do) but instead does something like current MMOs (even better if like Black Desert combat) then I would be interested. But if it's just a pretty version of EQ1 with the same old combat systems, then I'm not really interested.
I got into everquest with everquest online adventures. Played eqoa for about 8 years and loved the game. Haven't found another mmo i love since so i hope if there is another everquest, it's more like the original eq and eqoa than eq2
Eqoa was awesome, agreed!!!
Again? I'll hold my breath before shelling out another $100+... Who remembers Giving.. Daybreak? 100 for eq next.......
2030 or 2035 sadly 20% of the community will be in thier 90s or worse.😢
Bring back EQOA!!!!! revamp it for all consoles and pc and lets go!!
Man if only it was them bringing back eqoa from the PS2, I would die a happy man
I just got an old box of misc EQ CDs and maps and on the back of one of the CDs is says "Coming soon for the PS2, EQOA!" wasn't ready for that!
@Redbeardflynn A throw back to the early 200s before wow came out had one expac,was great for it's time. There is a fan project to keep it going called project returnhome(sandstorm sever) that is free roam but not much else. But if you like eq check it out 😁
I don't have any hopes for EQ3 or any other mmo because people (including devs) don't even know why people keep returning to old EQ. Not because of quests - all other mmos have this - but because oryginal EQ was a sandbox game, where players had plenty of tools so they could decide what will they do. Which path will they follow. So many things were killed in EQ over the years and not replicated in other games. Like soloing with different classes and styles (aoe soloing, charm kiting, root dotting, fear kiting) - it was fantastic experience and now it's gone. Twinking and power leveling again, fantastic way to revisit old dungeons with new alts. Was very fun to do, so it was nerfed or removed. You can't play like you want. Instead they implemented crap quests like other games, that give you plenty of things, including levels for free. So you don't need to power level alts anymore - killing all the fun. They would have to not only bring back sandbox experience and allo w players to decide what's fun for them, but they would have to make it good. And I doubt anyone will ever do this again.
I'd like a eq3, however I doubt it comes any time soon, and if it does its still under daybreak...
Do i get it for free for pledging in on everquest next? Screw you Daybreak.
Everquest 3 is in development hell. It is also not called Everquest. It is called Pantheon. RIP Brad ‘Aradune’ McQuaid.
my interest in anything related to Everquest died when I got buttf'd with Next/Landmark. No point in trying to raise the IP from the dead, let the property rot in peace.
After the EQN debacle I'm not sure I'll worry about it.
If they could recapture that classic > Scars (maybe Luclin) heyday with modern QoL (not too much). I'd be down for it.
a beast stirs
A new , good mmo is certainly the dream, but I struggle to be optimistic about the current systems ability to produce anything that isn't a delivery vehicle for politics and micro transactions. When was the last time we got anything worthwhile that didn't come from a handful of guys in their basement.
Hey my wife and I are in this vid. Punchis and Natsuna here.
Hey Punchis and Natsuna! Great to see you both. Axedat/Captainatrophy here.
Hilariously small world brother.
I’ll hold out my hope until they make an official announcement like “we are making an eq remake” until then I’ll wait on lantern eq
I'm really excited to see what comes from Lantern EQ tbh.
That would be fantastic
the worst and the most stupid thing they ever did was cancel everquest next that was supposed to be basically everquest 2. a living breathing dynamic world. the care and passion of the team behind it was sad to see it die. i hope they bring SOME of that to everquest 3
I'll bet daybreak is getting a new IP and that would be star wars the old republic mmo, been hearing unconfirmed rumblings about a sunset on that game
As far as SWTOR...that's going to Broadsword. Doesn't mean it will sunset but doesn't look great for active development.
As for a new IP? It's possible but they'd have to either move something over to Darkpaw or bring something new in. Currently the only IP under darkpaw is EQ since the restructuring years ago.
Broadsword (Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot) already has it i've heard.
@@jasoncook6608 yup. And about half or so of the old bioware team is moving over
@@Redbeardflynn Did not know that, thanks for the update. interesting times, Tarisland is the next one on my radar
oh sweet jebus i hope they remake champions and make it online, but the mmo experience probably suggests an eq 3 or an expansion to eq1 or eq2
Darkpaw is only interested in keeping EQ on life support with progression servers and lackluster expansions.
Probably in 10 more years, but I'll be playing Pantheon Rise of the Fallen by then.
I’d actually be more excited for an EverQuest themed Diablo clone like they made on the PS2 or a PC Baldurs Gate clone. I feel like EverQuest only really appeals to people that used to played it and they are all content with private servers or are among the few left on live.
I don’t think many of those people have time in their lives for an MMO and a game you can play an hour here and there might appeal to them more.
Not sure how much I trust Daybreak to build a new EQ game from the ground up. Especially considering their most recent TLP server with that FTE garbage. This is also putting the TLP servers into a different light for me. Have the TLP servers been experiments to gather data for this new EQ game? Maybe they are like feature trial balloons to seen what EQ fans would like or put up with and what they wouldn't. Who knows. Having said all that I would lean towards them doing a re-imagining of EQ1 rather than an EQ3. Like I said I don't trust them to make a new iteration of EQ that fans would appreciate because that would be hard. However, using EQ1 as a blueprint of what works and just modernizing it would be far easier. That would be my guess.
FTE is great. And I thought it would be trash.
People love to trash the FTE but it was actually quite good and worked far better than expected. Maybe Oakwynd was a trial run for this future MMO
An interesting potential here is an EQ1 remake. There's not a ton of info that would make one think that except what Daybreak is doing with LOTRO - a remaster with a different client. Take this with a huge grain of salt, this is just me wildly speculating!
@@Joshthegamer8600 It's irrelevant if you liked it IMO. FTE "works fine" in all modern MMOs since EQ released and most modern MMOs are trash. If you change all the things that make EQ a distinct MMO it remains EQ in name only. I know EQ is not without flaws but I prefer the original flaws that keep the spirit of EQ intact over the sad modern day MMO experience without those flaws. Trains in EQ were a "flaw" but how the community dealt with them is part of what established the community that EQ has and other MMOs lack.
Do you really want EQ to be a sterilized, homogenized MMO experience that is exactly like every other MMO where you always know exactly what to expect and everything is on rails and safe and there is no established community built around player action? I don't.
@@Chris-zg7ty Im curious why you think your opinion is more relevant than mine? As someone who plays and pays for EQ I feel like whether or not I enjoy it is relevant.
If not being able to train people and kill steal ruins the game for you thats too bad. I thought the changes on Oakwynd were great and kept the spirit of EQ intact.
Don't get me excited to relive the release of the original everquest my freshman year in high school! sleepless night up to 5am. My new bedtime being sunrise. The wife will love this!
All they have to do is remake EQ1. I'm a sucker for the old graphics though so I would still be playing the original.
unreal5 shares the same voxel tech as landmark & EQ next3 & the way its worded :)
If it turns out to be a mobile game, they can forget me playing it. It should be a MMORPG - a true EQ3. I want the latest and greatest game engine, NOT one that runs primarily on the CPU that the geniuses produced for EQ2. I want motion capture'd animation and a world as close to photorealism as is practical. Essentally, make EQ1 with KILLER graphics. Let WoW be cartoony.
Hoping its coming, but i hope they remove that roblox builder type stuff from it. Hated seeing that in EQ Next.
Good god I hope not. I’m not looking for another modern MMO that feels like every other MMO
Can we get good graphic this time???
PC and Console? They are bringing back EQ Online Adventures!
