So EQN playable demo at the beginning of August. Nifty.

Neat! Still can't afford to go.

They need to come back up to Seattle. Haven't had one up here since 2001 or so for the EQ Fan Fair (prior to changing to SOE Live! Ancient times!!)

I have a horrible feeling that Planetside 2 was little more than a project (and a gamble on the offchance that it's popular enough) to showcase the fundaments of forgelight before it gets put to serious use in EQ Next. I think a lot of planetsiders are going to look at the features available in EQN (bearing in mind that PS1 had more faces/voices for character customisation, which is still important, even in an mmofps) and feel ripped off.

EQ may be their flagship, but their inability to embrace enjoyable PVP made EQ2 a flop long term. There's no room in the market for another MMORPG, especially when SOE takes such pride in its family friendly games design approach in EQ, when evidence is that gamers are pulling in the other direction.

It also will have to compete with TESO.

I'm quite disappointed they didn't decide to come to the East Coast. Need to get away from the lesser-coast and head East where the real gamers are at.

Planet Hollywood is quite an upgrade. It will be much better then anything downtown. But with that comes much higher cost. I remember paying $9 for a beer at a Cabo Wabo in Planet Hollywood. Pretty crazy!

I'll be in Vegas the first week of July. We need better communication on this stuff lol.

Awesome can't wait to go! We need to advertise this big. We should be able to out number the EQ guys

Hamma · 2013-02-06, 04:01 PM

Agreed

Apparently the haze of smoking isn't as big of a deal at PH also.. bit better ventilated. Ballys was pretty bad.

Man, I guess I'm a fake gamer after all...

Pretty sure they do it where they do it because it's a fairly cheap place to get to for SOE as well as airfare. That being said, it sure isn't cheap to do much else there.

I'd love to go to a new city for SOE Live, but with the number of employees they bring, and a lot of them drive together, I doubt we'll see an East Coast SOE Live. I would not be surprised if costs eventually put it in San Diego it's self someday.

OCNSethy · 2013-02-06, 05:10 PM

So, I suppose having at Sydney is out of the question? lol

I understand there's a bus that runs from SOE to Vegas.
