THE QUADS SPEAK THE TRUTH
>>330460000
good
its a real shame because i was actually lookimg forward to it
>>330460000
>simply wasn't fun and didn't up to the Everquest
>didn't up to
Who fucking writes and proofreads this hot garbage?
>>330460000
I had completly forgotten this was a thing.
Probably a good decsition. The classic MMORPG genre is pretty much all but dead these days.
>>330461974
At Polygon? noone.
>>330462137
It wasn't supposed to be a classic MMO though
>>330460000
hopefully someone'll give it the long overdue old yeller treatment
>>330462847
Wasn't it?
I thought next was supposed to be the mmorpg version of the Minecraft clone they were working on?
>>330462993
It was going to have a completely player governed economy and world, like EVE except players wouldn't just own empty chunks of space.
And I don't know about you but when I hear classic MMO I think theme park, not Mimecraft.

Like every notable upcoming MMO have made those claims and almost all of them have still been shitty mindless "grind quests until you reach the end game" shit.
Just because it has some gimmicks doesn't mean it's not something we have already done countless times.
>>330463839
Except MMOs never make those claims and it hasn't been done countless times or EVE, which is a fucking primitive implementation of it wouldn't still be the only one you ever heard about
Gaming now is all about instant satisfaction and no build up.

Jeremy Soule left his work with ArenaNet in order to make the music for this.
What the fuck's going to happen now?
>>330460000
act like you didnt see this coming, no updates on where this game was going for the past year
>>330461974
>quality gaming journalism
You seem surprised anon
>>330465048
Landmark is still scheduled to launch this Spring, good chance hes going there.
That or he is hopping back on Todd's cock
>>330465265
>That or he is hopping back on Todd's cock
well that's a given
they aren't going to switch composers any time soon
I'm actually surprised they decided to cut their losses instead of releasing it anyway trying to break even.
You never see such integrity these days.
>>330465202
Pretty much. It was shady as fuck from the beginning.
>we're totally working on this, guys!
>we're just using landmark for testing
>here's some concept art and lore write ups
>>330460000
That's too bad. At least release whatever you made so we could see it
>>330460000
>On February 2, 2015, Sony announced the sale of SOE to the private equity group Columbus Nova for an undisclosed amount, and that it would be renamed Daybreak Game Company
>On February 11, employees of the company reported they were undergoing layoffs, including several senior developers and project managers
It's been dead since the takeover.
>implying the MMO genre hasn't been shit from the start
There's been like half a dozen MMOs that didn't suck. You just have to wait for someone to come along and create the next big thing.
Hahaha, fuck, so sad.
We could have a new EverQuest, a new MMORPG that isn't the same shit rollercoaster bullshit like every WoW out there.
Nah, instead they chose to make some retarded minecraft bullshit, and of course no actual progress on EverQuestNext was ever fucking made.
Fucking pieces of shit scum.
>>330465520
It's been dead because while they were SOE devs were clearly fucking around under Sony. When actual investment firm took over and looked at their finances they suddenly realized fun time is over and couldn't produce results.
>people thought this was going to be THE NEXT BIG MMO
>>330465665
At least we won't fall for Smedley's lies anymore.
>>330465716
literally nobody thought this
everyone knew it would be casual shit
>>330461974
Looks like Polygon, so I imagine no one proofreads, possibly because it's problematic.
Are they also canceling Landmark? That shit seemed halfway done.
>>330466186
you weren't here for the threads of retards gobbling up their snake oil when it was first announced.
>MUH VOXELS
>no running around in updated Kelethin with Jeremy Soule music
>no walking into Unrest for your second first time ever again
>no waiting on a boat chatting with people again as faggots feed you beer as you stumble off a boat and swim to an island full of giants
>no finally getting to freeport listening to even more jeremy soule music
>no experiencing mistmoore, guk, Solusek's Eye, paw, blackburrow
>no breath taking view of the Karanas
>but we have a minecraft game with some everquest stuff in it for you to play
So, where should I direct my wrath? At Sony or the devs?
