ya but i cant seam to think of any pay to win games that are still around
The best way for them to make money is micro transactions.
Which is where I will bet EQ is headed. Marketplace is over priced and under utilized.
For example a change of char models and npc model could lead to "dress up" models.
How many of us wouldn't pay say a dollar per slot to dress our pets, mercs, illusions, and selves?
Skins for guild housing zones, weather controls.
I would love a to see things like Winter and Desert themes for housing zones.
I can see other things like different layouts etc.
There is a fortune in art alone to be had.
Sony was also against pay for power. There is no saying the new owners will hold to that. Slot X on your armor to add 10ac for 300sc etc.
There is HUGE money making potential in all that.
Basically I see them implementing whatever has the least cost and most profit.
I see a lot less of being true to "The Vision" because that isn't going to make them the most money. The Vision is dead long live The Profit!
But that is all just my opinion....
Yep. Also with those layoffs, majority being EQN, could possibly mean EQN is getting the axe. I didn't like those cartoon looking models anyways, I'm not interested in playing a WoW/minecraft blend.
If they continue the EQN project, hope they have a better vision, if they don't I hope they swallow up quite a few team members for EQ1.
But it looks as if, they will revamp EQN to be a mobile/crossplatform game, as it is currently only sleigh-ted to be a PC release game, I'd guess with the restructuring they are going to push for mobile/crossplatform for games being developed in the future.
Wow that sucks. He was actually one of the devs that did a great job, especially when he used to handle tradeskills. Jansen was the one that should have been let go, he did a piss poor job and always gave excuses.
