I guess I'm a little disappointed that my posts here are now suddenly appearing all over Rerolled.org, but I probably should have expected it. FWIW - I'm quite happy here at SOE.

Yep.. strangely, I found out about it the same way all of you did.. the email. Kind of surprised me too since I hadn't heard a peep about this even being rumored.
Um... No.
Keep your eye on Kickstarter. I'm guessing 'something' will hit within the next 4 to 5 weeks.
Oh.. and you'll have to keep an open mind due to a couple things, but I believe it's on the right...
I'm unfortunately on Ultros right now.
Story - Brilliant.
Visuals - Beautiful.
Combat - Dumbest shit EVER in an MMO. It's right up there with how EQ was for a Warrior at launch.
As a...
OK.. I'll be blunt then.
There is a small group of us here at SOE that is currently putting together a pitch doc for an unapologetic, hardcore game set in the EQ universe. At this phase, nobody...
Yeah.. art assets would be a HUGE pain in the ass. People also need to be in the same place to have any cohesion in design and development of the project. You just can't do a project in this scope...
My opinion is, a niche game with 100k subs, that came in with a low budget, with a small team, can not only be profitable, but VERY profitable, and fun to play. The asian MMO people have been doing...
I'd actually prefer somewhere in the middle. I'd prefer less stylized, but not hyper-realistic either. They look and feel they're going for is for VERY specific reasons, and with the NPC interaction...
Or maybe.. Everquest: Zero.
Hehe.. that number doesn't even come close to our lowest populated EQ1 server (other than EQ Mac, and the PVP servers).
As for the idea of an original EQ in a new engine.. there's a few of us on...
Just saw the SOE Live presentation this afternoon. I'm blown away at what I've seen. I don't know when I get to play it, but I want to play it RIGHT NOW. People are going to be impressed to say the...
Hard to say since I'm not on that team. Certainly people submitted by me have a BETTER chance than those picked randomly from the pool though.
We're revealing a lot of info at SOE Live next weekend. Just in case people are still curious about EQN.
Slight followup, though I really can't give any details.
I saw EQ Next finally. I'm not going to be on the team, because I'm now the systems lead on EQ, but what I will say is this. EQ Next (not...
I did. I don't like to talk trash about other developers, but this game feels incredibly bad to me. It really sucks because I have so many friends on the dev team, but it's just awful.
This looks like Elder Scrolls, just online. Nothing really new or interesting. I find it hard to get excited about cinematic trailers anymore.
I play every now and then. It isn't what I would have done with the game at all, but it's a decent Mechwarrior Arena type game. I wanted to build something with a lot more MMO elements to it.
Sorry Lonskils, but you're 100% wrong. It's not the same engine, not even close. I don't know where you'd even come up with such a thing.
The game seems to have taken some of art assets from...
He knows you too well Forty!
BTW.. I just became Assistant Lead Designer on EQ, and I'm going to see if I can convince people around here to 'officially' endorse a PC client for Al'kabor, and call...
Mmmm hmmmmm.. :)
Come play Planetside 2!
I'm in the Terran Republic on the Connery server.
DO EEET!
I'm level 22 currently.
I don't know where to enchant things, how to enchant things, or where to start alchemy. I've been gathering everything in sight since I started but I just have a huge collection of crap that I don't...
I'm loving the game. I'm also completely RUINED for other MMOs now. Anything less of a combat system is done for me.
Elidroth - Slayer
Elidread - Archer
Tubbybear - Warrior (my favorite class...
