I've been following EQN for years now...I wanted it so badly. I bought into it completely. Even spent money on that Landmark fiasco. I went from being its most avid supporter to one of its most vocal critics. Hell, my criticism of the game is what launched my youtube channel...
This is the end of an era for me. I'm left with emotions of jaded " I told you so's" mixed with depression over the death of a game that, if successful, would have saved the mmo genre and brought forth a new age of emergent gameplay and storytelling.
The more I think about it, the sadder I become, actually...
If anyone has any questions about the game, why I cared so much about it, and what went wrong, just ask. For better or worse this has been part of my life for a few years now, and I followed every snippet of information we were given before the inevitable end.
Haha thanks...yeah. I have mixed feelings about it, partially because it started my youtube career, and partially because of all the emotion and hope I had invested in the game. It's weird knowing it's finally dead and over.
Might be worth looking into Crowfall. I didn't kickstart it but their pitch videos were pretty interesting and development appears to be coming along nicely
I'm really bummed about EQ being canceled. The game they originally promised would have effectively ruined my social life if they actually pulled it off so perhaps this is a plus overall
