I honestly don't think updating graphics would be an issue, you already have them. That way when you do a sequel game you already have a plot point to pick up. If you kill the head gnoll in Blackburrow he's gone for good until you create a new character but perhaps have it so that someone new is coming to power. Lets things respawn when you reenter the zone and allow for changes to stay in the game. Like all RPGs you might have to grind a bit to get money for armor and items. Just use the old world, start off with Antonica itself, weave a story into into the game and allow things to be killed by a single player or with a henchmen npc partner (ala Neverwinter Nights) and there you go. I don't think it would be to hard to be honest. CHampions of Norrath was okay but it wasn't really the same. Ever since I first played Everquest I've wanted a single RPG game. The Champions of Norrath series didn't do justice to the EQ world. SOE will herald it as a raging success and will hype the game's "unique, innovative" features such as dungeons, a "balanced leveling system" that causes mobs to match the player's level so that the challenge is never too hard, and "a cool new particle system" for uber loot like flaming swords. Which, of course, will make absolutely no sense. is now able to be completed and this will somehow fix the bugged final dungeon. that won't be fixed, but will have a bandaid applied such as adding "Patches Kittens". The XPack will fix some of the quests that should have been fixed by a regular patch, and everyone will find out that the Patches (cat) quest. despite the fact that you can't finish it, and again, never mind that doing this makes absolutely no sense.Įven worse, some people will actually buy the expansion pack. ![]() SOE will be completely silent in response to these accusations for the first month or two, but will then release an expansion pack for the game. "Hard core gamerz" will speed through the single player game only to find that the finishing dungeon is unfinished. This, of course, will break a quest that's supposed to trigger much later in the game. Unfortunately the AI will be bugged and the cat will attempt to eat one of the large rats and will consequently be killed. You'll begin your epic quest by killing the "large rats" that have invaded the town square, and an old lady in the starting town will have a cat named Patches. ![]() Never mind that this makes no sense, but if pushed into a corner Sony will make a vague reference to the increased cost of the CE and how gamers will be more than happy to work extra hours to save up for it.Īgain, never mind that this response makes no sense. When this is complained about, the SOE PR machine will say that they expect "female gamers to expect a higher quality experience". It will only be available in the CE however. They won't want to forget the "gurl gamerz", that's like so not PC, so the CE will also allow you to color the horse's shoes pink. SOE also loves to sell "collector's editions" of their games, so the single player CE will probably ship with a special pet dog and various add-ons for the house and horse. ![]() The guy running the inn will be named Ken. I can already see it, some plastic looking NPC in one of the all-too-common dress designs. SOE loves to capitalize in anyway possible and their graphics - especially the characters - already look like plastic. Somebody might think it is an RMT offer! How much EQ Platinum do I get for $19.A single player EQ game from SOE. I bet it will remain up there until at least the next EverQuest expansion comes out.Īnd, when you think about it, EverQuest Platinum might not be the one package they want flashing on the EQ Players site. They have plenty of EverQuest branded Zippo lighters (Why? Are EQ players a heavy smoking demographic?), the EverQuest edition ZBoard (which, given the odd-ball, by today’s standards, key mapping in the game, might be a useful item), and the nerd-riffic Bag of the Tinkerers, but no EverQuest Platinum. You cannot actually buy it at the Station Store. Shown with a dated news entry, just to prove that this is recent or that I am decent with PhotoShop: And, finally, these sorts of roll up packages were made obsolete by the EverQuest Secrets of Faydwer expansion, which includes all of the previous expansions.īut there on the EverQuest Players site, on the left side bar, is a rotating ad that includes EverQuest Platinum for $19.99. It was superceded by EverQuest Titanium in 2006 and then by the EverQuest Anniversary Edition in 2007. Just a random neuron firing, but I have to wonder how much longer SOE will continue to advertise the EverQuest Platinum Edition on the EverQuest Players site.ĮverQuest Platinum, their first roll up of EverQuest expansion packs available in a single box, hit store shelves nearly four years ago.
