EQ Next... we'll see since it's not expected to be in Alpha for another year or two. The more they reveal, the more I'm leaning away from it. Pantheon sounds more interesting at this point.
To mirror this: EQ Next looks worse and worse and Pantheon looks great, but in order for me to be able to actually play it, I'd need KA and some sort of MQ2-like system since there's no way I could invest the amount of time required for another hardcore MMO. That being said: I already pledged to the kickstarter for it because I want these kinds of games to see the light of day (they haven't made it to the halfway point yet with 12 days left... I hope they make it!).
Note to people who dont' know: Pantheon is being developed by Brad McQuaid, one of the original everquest creators. He wants to go back to that kind of playstyle with large time investment for progress and a sense of accomplishment.
I looked into this and it looks promising but my question is, how are they going to handle deaths? If this is like original EQ where you have to do corpse runs COUNT ME IN... that literally made the game for me when I started playing.
EQN~ probably not going to play it, im still on the ropes and may try it
Death will sting. We want player to respect and sometimes fear their environment. A big part of this is a desire to avoid death. While the details of the system are not currently fully fleshed out we expect death to be something that players want to avoid at all costs.
They are actually wanting to try and make it so that the game won't require the time sink EQ did by altering the ways you can level and how many levels there are. He's said they want people that can only hop in for an hour or two to be able to feel like they are still able to make progress. I asked him in a Q&A if they expected a great divide like EQ had between the hardcore crowd and the more casual and he said yes, that it'll be inevitable with a game like Pantheon.
They do plan to have corpse runs. Here's their response to death;

If you are searching or waiting for a game that's like EQ1 used to be, stop it right now... it will never happen again.
Not holding my breath, but it would be nice if it happened. Though a lot of the reason EQ1 is the way it was is because of nostalgia. Just like other old video games. Even if EQ1 would be re-released right now, it still wouldn't feel the same since I've gained 15 years and stuff I do isn't nostalgic in the present (plus the content is no longer a mystery -- p99 proves that). However, there could possible be a game that comes out and captures my interest so well that 5-10 years down the line I get nostalgic for it like I do now for EQ1. It's not about being exactly like EQ1; it's about being really good.
I might try it... Like I did eq2....play it for 30min then un install it
I would check the NDA before posting anything.
