Speaking of SOE and Player's Studio...



 
SOE announced its next Everquest project in Las Vegas at the SOE Live Fan Faire today.  The project has been kept secret from everybody except those actually working on it.  This is the first I've seen of it. 
Ronnie, if the thought of building stuff for SOE's games and generating income from it appeals to you, EQ Next is going to take that whole idea to the next level.  Here's a link to the talk they gave:
 
(The talk is about an hour long.  If you just want to hear about the assets-building part, skip to about the 39:00 mark.)
 
I think it looks pretty intriguing.  It made me want to try building stuff with the tools they will be providing.

I have been utterly gob-smacked by the EQN reveal. I knew SOE would push the envelope, but I had no idea they would revolutionize not just MMOs, but gameplay, in general. EQ Next is nothing short of amazing! Good job, SOE!

Looks like a seesaw win over Blizzard by SOE.

Oh man this has come a long way since the early days.

The announcements yesterday was certainly turning some heads in our office. The game looks fantastic! Tom, please pass on my compliments and well wishes to the team. This sort of thing kinda makes me miss my MMO making days... :)

...this is for a computer game, right?

One you play at home--on your personal computer?

Interesting!
