Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced Twice, and also Binion's and the Four Queens, to round out that little stretch. But not for a decade, so if they've remodeled the room interiors and took care of the pest problem in my absence, I humbly apologize. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced With all due respect, that guy obviously isn't paying attention to all the time and effort and $$ put into PS2. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced
I agree though that TESO is a RvR competitor much like GW2 is. But we'll see if it's a full-on competitor since I've read maps/regions will be instanced. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced It's a whole new Nugget. They remodeled it like crazy. The Carson Tower (the budget rooms) rivals any Strip hotel's standard room. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced Huh! Did that all happen when they put in the funky sky LCD thing over Fremont? I think I'm going to wind up going to this, at least for a day or two. I'm in town anyway for work; I think I can manage a little me time. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced Nice! Should be there myself. Hopefully we can get the PSU discount rolling earlier this time. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced Frankly, I'd also be perfectly content just meeting up at a bar or something and getting knockered. We could all bring laptops and troll PSU. Time to roll out that alt, Hamma! |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced
To me Vegas is a pleasure city, at least the strip section, dropping SOE live into another city would be fine for people who just wanted to turn up for the event, but anyone who had to travel a significant distance could not justify it otherwise just for three days. Cost wise I've found Vegas to be really cheap for accomodation, north tower at Bally's (the luxury one) typically costs 89-119 dollars a night and gives a good quality room. I've not found anything comparable in any other city in Europe, and the one time I stayed in NY the prices even for mid town were way higher, you'd be lucky to get a pokey small room somewhere for that price in a lesser known city. |

Re: SOE Live 2013 Announced
So put in that context the time and money poured into PS2 was substantial, despite being in beta it was the star of the show last year at SOE live. As a EQ2 player myself I should feel more entitled to feel a bit raw about the resources poured into PS2 (which came from EQ1 and EQ2 and a bit of PS1), but I'm pragmatic I guess as they have to make the biggest bang for the buck.
As for EQNext its almost certain to not be anything like EQ1 or EQ2, I got to speak to David Georgeson at last years SOE Live about MMO's. He didn't give away any real secrets for EQNext but his enthusiasm is infectious and I can confirm he's just the same face to face as when on camera (I definitely recommend cornering him if you can at any SOE Live ). When I mentioned about the past few MMO's (KOTOR, Rift, etc) bombing because people had basically already played the same game so became bored of it fast he was definitely on the same page! I really don't know what he has going for EQNext, something sandboxy is what Smedley has hinted, but they also know that releasing something close to EQ1 and EQ2 will just canabilise players there, and run into the same problems that the current crop of "Me too" MMO's has run into. |
