Blah. Did BSG really need an MMO associated with it? A browser based one at that?

Sure people watched it, but what percentage of those are going to want to play an MMO about it?

I really hope that EQ Next appeals to the 'core' gamer that McQuaid's team tried to do with Vanguard.

Please, please, please, no more WoW clones!

The parent post here is correct. Unfortunately, SOE probably would've screwed up progression yet again.

For those of you who never played, progression started players off in classic EQ, without expansions, and the ex-packs were slowly unlocked as particular goals were achieved (slaying certain high-end mobs, etc).

It was awesome -- except that Sony had revamped a few zones, one of which was the city of Freeport, for one of the later expansions. The items found in Freeport were way, way overpowered compared to some of the best items found in late classic EQ. Worst of all, they dropped off of low-level mobs in the Freeport sewers.

Witnessing uberguilds camp and killsteal if necessary for level 10 mobs was just pathetic. It completely ruined progression for me as well as a number of other people, I suspect.
