New Trademarks for EQ and EQ2... - Page 9

I think it sounds like a good idea. Having the next expansion inside the realm of the shadowedmen, kinda like another dimension, means they can do as much copy/paste of scenery as they like. It'll all look like the usual inside-of-the-obelisk stuff and nobody will mind.

Might give them time to spend on other stuff, like er, content.. and making stuff work.

Aion will be out before then though.. so.. meh.

imo give OOLS another 5 lvls, for t5, t6, t7, t8 and t9

so one zone leads to all the different tiers, save running ;)

This isn't going to be obelisk of lost souls that is oblivion, ethenere is the world between norrath and oblivion where souls go before going to oblivion. My guess is that the shissar are hiding in ethenere and we will see them as a new race to eq2(not sure if its playable!)

Ethenere was never done in Eq1(to my knowledge) and has almost nothing to do with oblivion. That means free rein for the eq2 team to do what ever they want graphically and story wise, which is a great thing. We might even see part of odus and "the hole" in this expansion.

This should progress the chelsith stone even more and lead us into collecting pieces of it to "prevent" the ages end. Probably see the freethinkers a lot in this expansion as well.

There is no happy medium with SOE...

Well honestly i hope that concentrate and make this mostly instances and raiding areas. Those areas where surely left out of RoK for a bunch of solo trash mobs that mean nothing but a billion stupid quests. Get the ppl working together again which would be a lot better. Lil land and tons of instances and raid zones ftw.

It's supposed to be Planes of Power.

I would assume the EQ2 trademark you see is the next adventure pack.

This is absolutely true. I heard the same thing from a reliable source. The contested mobs will eventually open the way to the next expansion which is based solely on the Firefly series. The forces of Lucan will have to battle the Reavers.

Would make sense to have a few 'regular' zones and THEN the entrance into the ethernere.

Guk/Karana/boat to odus/hole/zone from hole to ethernere, maybe.

I really can't see NOT doing guk with all the fucking frog lore, tho, I dunno.

Wasn't that covered in the froglok stuff in T5?

That sucks, July? They announced the previous expansion (last year) in May. They were already discussing possible beta in July if I recall. The other thing sounds way off, too early for a "POP-ish" expansion IMO. This one sounds good, but its just a title. We'll see how they do it, but I think it could be at the worse, decent. I don't see level cap going up, they need to introduce more AAs and market it as another all-in-one and hope people join the game.
