Mudflation. The levels got so high, the items so powerful, the bosses/monsters so absurdly "powerful" that they can't keep going for long. When you base a game around the idea of just killing more powerful things to kill even more powerful things and use good items to get even better items you eventually hit a point where you've got people who're half-way to the level cap killing off gods with mid-powered items. Just how much stronger can you make things? How much more powerful can items get? How much more progression can you allow characters to undergo?

So, that, plus the ability to use new design concepts to make the game better from the ground up. For example, the game now has a sort of branching class system where before you picked a class at level 1 and that was it. You can't patch changes like that in. On a very basic level, EQ1 was very much flawed and a sequel would also give them the chance to rework the basic foundations of the game to create a better overall experience. I suspect whenever a Planetside 2 comes out, the aircraft system might be reworked to make aircraft actually behave like aircraft do. At this point though, such a change would require a lot of rebalancing, and the developers would probably rather spend that time making new features and so on, rather than reworking a bad idea that's been in the game for so long that everyone's become accustomed to it already.

Unknown. I was never interested in EQ, so I have no idea.

The difference between EQLive and EQ2 is over 5 years. Planetside is 1� years old. Here's to another 4 years

i dont know. PS is always updated, PS 2 should only be all the patchs so new players dont need to wait ages updating before playing

[Lartnev]

That'd be a travesty of a sequel.

Planetside 2, I remember when I said that Planetside would NEVER come out with an expansion so soon, days later, it did. So now, I am going to say, Planetside 2 is NOT going to happen, NOT in the near future. I wouldn't be surprised though, just when everybody is wanting improvments and fixes they'll ADD and ADD and ADD.

Ah yes, because everyone knows you work much better when you are forced against your own will.

Let the devs work at their own pace. That way we don't end up with a bunch of rushed crap that was made too powerful simply so you would pay for it (Core Combat, for those of you slow on picking up hints.)

lol this is great my threads... at last someone is talking on them

[Razorsbay]

and keviN you have a point there

StarCraft: The MMOFPS.

You can sign me up for that one. Blizzard as a whole just has a better track record and strives to create balancing gameplay.

Sure, it'll be delayed from the original release date by 3 years, but if they ever actually made it, it would rock!

I'm just not yet convinced over PS yet. It's only been 1.5 years; it needs at least 2 more.

[drsomewhere]

how about hitboxes...anyone?

[AbramsVS]

Thats would be nice but its never happen i think, since game getting updated always, and first SOE need to get up the population, then go for PS2
