Director of Development Dave Georgeson gives a recap of what the team has been up to during the last month, and shares tidbits about what you can expect to see in the coming weeks, including details about a new piece of lore for EverQuest Next!

Yeah, I watched the copy as the Stan gave me the wrong time!! http://www.thehonorempire.org/forums/topic/14830-11132013-live-stream/ A. I remember them saying that Tier's will also be based (more or less) on height in the game. The more you dig down, the higher the tier. B. I'm looking forward to combat in Landmark, it'll add more to it instead of just a building/social game. C. The size of the world is huge, I think he said around 5,000 x 4,000 meters and 1,500 meters tall? D. And you can save it to a template. I believe what we make in Alpha, not counting any huge code errors, can be copied/moved to beta (not sure about live) if you have the resources to do so. E. Villages!!!! The other things I like is that we will be able to create NPC's and interactions eventually. The same tools they use to make EQN will be available in Landmark. If they add combat, you can more or less make your own EQN world the way you want it with others. Like they said in the video, some may create sci-fi communities, others fantasy, and even modern structures like the golden gate bridge. Cool stuff.

Hey Banuvien, do you have a EQLandmark account as well? I hate that SOE has a new account for every game.

Well, I'll be! Rumblebore! I hope EQN can bring back that spark in T.H.E. gamers again. It's sad to see so many get disparaged over the games that have been coming out recently. Hopefully SOE will give us something new to play for years to come!. GW2 ended up being a let-down in the long run (though, I did like the WvWvW aspect).

Welcome back! I also went with Trailblazer. Some are still about. I know BB still plays EQ. Not sure how many we have from Erollisi's Tear, SLoT, or The Nameless anymore. Emails are still going out from the forums but there are quite a few inactive/bounced back emails. If you are still in contact with any of them, send them over!

Per SOE's terms, do not share any information regarding Alpha or Closed Beta here. It can result in banning of your account from SOE. Thanks!

http://www.thehonorempire.org/forums/topic/14825-eqn-landmark-guarantee-an-alpha-or-beta-spot/ --------------------------- If you want to get your hands on the alpha or beta for Everyquest Next Landmark you may want to purchase a founders pack! Otherwise, beta invites will be limited to short (7ish) day play times. The founders packs will allow you unlimited play during beta. https://www.eqnlandm...m/founders-pack Smed, President SOE, had the following to say from Reddit. 1) The dates we have listed are "on or before" dates. What that means is we will start Alpha on our before the end of February. Truth is we intend to start it a long time before that. But you can be guaranteed that we will start it by that date. 2) Why are we letting people into an Alpha? - This is a whole new development style for us. We're making a completely new kind of game and because of that we need a lot more people to help us test things out and make it great. An Alpha is NOT for everyone. Alpha's tend to be very buggy and change a lot, so expect a ton of downloads. That being said, you also can have an amazing influence over the games direction. I think that's pretty cool. 3) Why is the trailblazer pack cost so much? We put out 3 different pricepoints to suit everyone's desire. Ultimately the game is F2P but we actually have to have serious volume to make that work. In the interim while we're building, we have to build out the infrastructure sooner than we ordinarily would. 4) What is Landmark exactly? - It is a standalone, social building and exploring MMO. It will have combat (though not at launch) and a ton of other features. hope this helps understand Smed President, SOE

Just started Forge of Empires. Send me an invite to guild.

There is a small group of us playing the flash based game, Vega Conflict. Check it out on facebook or on kixeye.com. Once you have your account created and a base in game, add Balandar, Borg Stonewall, or Klang as a friend (login directly though kixeye.com with your account or facebook account). You can then relocate your base to our location in Sector 400 through the game settings (in game). We are using the attached image as our Avatar. You can change this on the kixeye.com website under your account settings.

EQN Lore: Key events over the last 20,000 years for EQN: https://forums.stati...imeline.202067/ Elves of Norrath, a comparison between EQ and EQN: http://www.eqhammer....e-eq-and-eqnext eBooks: https://www.everques...?category=ebook Original EQ: Note that EQN will have a different timeline (think of it as a parallel or alternate universe).

On a side bar, you should join us in Vega Conflict (either through FB or kixeye.com). Borg, Martok, and a couple of others from THE have been killing some free time on the side in there. It's like Civilization but in space.

Another good video on what Landmark is about:

Here's something of concern over at REDDIT. Real Estate You can claim one piece of land per account and then sell it on the market place. What is to prevent you from setting up multiple station accounts and using each of them to claim land and then sell it? Have a large landmass on one continent and then auction it off? Once we know the release date for Landmark, I am going to send out a mass email to our THE forum users.

So apparently this adventurer class will be unlocked in landmark for use in EQ next. It'll be a fully fledged class you can play.

EverQuest Next Worldwide Debut: P2 This is a 54 min video, but well worth the watch. http://www.twitch.tv/soe/c/2680835 Interview: Everquest Next Landmark Trailer (Alpha and Beta begins SOON).

Discuss anything related to the upcoming game EQ Next and EQ Next Landmark (coming this winter).

Signed up for beta. Will Wildstar be free to play? It looks corny as hell, but the housing has me interested! . Found this FAQ: http://wildstar-central.com/index.php?threads/the-wildstar-faq-or-how-i-learned-to-look-before-asking-updated-july-23-2013.73/

The next MMO coming up is EQ Next, a Sandbox MMO with a malleable world. You can sign up for the beta using the link below. From their Wiki: EverQuest Next, or simply EQ Next, is the third installation in the sandbox type MMORPG franchise currently under development by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) using the Planetside 2 engine (Forgelight Engine). Unlike EverQuest II, this game is not a direct prequel or sequel; EverQuest Next is a reimagining of the universe, taking place in a parallel Norrath.
