  I’m interested in the premise, but if it’s a 300 hour grind to Vox and Nagafen solo, it’s not gonna be for me. When I started (late Kunark), much of the old world was already dead, so it’d be neat to see that content.

  This better be a battle royal extraction game.

    This includes the ability to set three different classes per character, as well as systems to power up equipment.

    Ah - ripped off the ol THJ formula

  Well, this is fascinating. I don’t think anyone’s done anything like this before with an MMO, have they? The thing is, in MMO form, the incentive is to keep you grinding so you keep paying a subscription. Without that incentive, I’d want to have a knob I can turn to adjust the grind, like I can in V Rising server settings. It’s cool that this retains some amount of multiplayer, too.

    The formula was very successful so much so that they killed the private server that had originally done this.

      Well, hopefully this inspires more devs to “steer into the skid”, so to speak. Stop fighting what your customers are showing you they want.

    I think the bigger problem is going to be too much support for solo play. A big part of what made EQ work was getting people into groups and guilds and the connections made in that pursuit. Without it, the game was just a boring grind, the game play and story lines were all very basic.

  So an official server of pre-Kunark EQ designed to be soloable for a subscription fee? I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to to pay a sub for that, but even as a big fan of old-school EQ, I’m not one of them.

    Where does it say there’s going to be a subscription fee?

      I walked into this interview and demo with the assumption that the game is going to be free-to-play with microtransactions. But I was actually surprised to find out that this game will be using a subscription model. I was caught so off guard that it didn’t register until the drive home. Having had time to think about it, I guess it kind of makes sense; what exactly would they be able to sell had they gone with an F2P model w/ microtransactions? Cosmetics wouldn’t exactly work, and neither would P2W materials. Plus, veterans often say they’d rather just pay a sub and be done with it.

  EverQuest Legends is described as a “solo/casual version of EverQuest” able to be played entirely in single player.

  Ew. Nothing screams “I’m a loser” more than “I like playing MMOs alone.”
