So apparently they're officially re-releasing classic EverQuest. Not a TLP, but actual classic (being described as Classic+). They're also saying they dug through an old mac and found lost assets from 1999 that were never used.
>>12468540from what I can tell, they took THJ's concept (probably forced them to waive all rights to it as part of a deal) and are trying to make it into their own productI don't understand how "solo friendly" and "antonica only" is going to work, you'll be out of content in 2 weekswill at least be interesting to see if they continue using the current live engine or if they port it to some other engine or even revive the original engine
>>12468571>THJSo they'll fake an endgame by making you farm the same 3 bosses every day for a 1 in 20 chance of a useful augment that you need like 30 of so you can be bis?
>>12468571>will at least be interesting to see if they continue using the current live engine or if they port it to some other engine or even revive the original enginehttps://youtu.be/GAiNA03bMA8That's 100% the water from live, sky from live, lighting from live, and a reskin of the live UI system. That means it's using the live client. You should have the lowest expectations possible from DBG. This will basically be a custom ruleset TLP wrapped up as a separate service to ensure people have to throw fresh money at it rather than consuming the millions of krono already in existence.They'll probably disable Luclin models and use an older database with more classic-ish spells and such, since normal TLPs share a backend with live and are very non-classic in that regard.
>>12468657>froglok swapped out for classic frogloks>luclin vah shir>tss drakkinlmao they had 1 job
This looks absolutely terrible.
>>12468540I like the idea of it (a soloable classic EQ experience), don't love that there's a notorious looney troon involved, or that it's on the nu-EQ client.
>>12468673>drakkinDrakkin are kind of funny. Originally Sony hired some europoor company to update all the player models in the game. They ended up only finishing humans. It would've been weird to update only humans so instead they slapped some facial accessories on them and *poof* you have the drakkin race.
>>12469509oh god that freak is involvedyeah, 100% garbage
this game is just sad to watch
>>12468673you're telling me they're going to have these ugly ass freaks running around in "classic" everquest?
>>12469651it's DBG, I can guarantee you they're going to have a cash shop fully loaded with non-classic illusion clickies, pets, probably even mounts, there's also no way they're not getting their share of the RMT market so you can bet there'll be some kind of sub tokens
>>12468673They've said no drakkin on the official discord, the trailer video is probably just mockup slop. Anyways it's just looking like easy mode P99 with all the same problems and a mentally unstable dev team recruited from the "community".
