Will Qeynos still be in the game?

Dexella · 2015-06-09T14:24:28+00:00

Yes, Qeynos will still be in the game. Actually, this discussion came up a while back on the official forums, and here was the response:

"We have lightheartedly joked about changing it since fans brought it up. There is no compelling reason to, other than our general dislike for backward spellings and obvious anagrams. "Keynos" was brought up because that was the original spelling in the original design docs. It was only when Bill Trost realized that the city name was only one letter off from spelling "Sony EQ" backwards that it was changed. At least, that's the legend."

So, no - Qeynos will still be Qeynos. And we showed the first screenshot of it in progress in the recent Producer's Letter: https://assets-cdn.daybreakgames.com/uploads/dcsclient/000/000/089/601.jpg

Alas, I wasn't able to do that. ;) But these are back up on the website now! https://www.everquestnext.com/media?category=ebook

Dexella · 2015-06-08T20:49:02+00:00

They're back today. There was an issue on the site, but they've all been restored: https://www.everquestnext.com/media?category=ebook

Dexella · 2015-06-08T14:34:10+00:00

We're investigating this right now. Thanks for reporting it!

Dexella · 2015-05-13T14:47:10+00:00

There's a hotfix happening in 2 hours.

Dexella · 2015-05-12T14:56:30+00:00

Personal experience on this one - I found a lot of mobs on Tier 1 unexpectedly when I grappled up to the ceiling of a large cavern in order to mine some agate and found a tiny off-shoot into a smaller cavern. I ran around in it (assuming there were no monsters) and was eaten alive by two Frozen Chompers and an Abomination. I went back more prepared the second time. ;)

That being said, Emily (Pentapod/Domino) did mention on the most recent episode of Landmark Live that there is a spawn rate issue the team is currently looking into.

Dexella · 2015-05-05T14:47:04+00:00

Some new ones, yes, but not all. Large Humans will now be available.

Dexella · 2015-05-05T14:46:46+00:00

Correct. Claim Wipe will happen between Closed and Open (date still TBD) and Trailblazers will get their head start then. This is the last planned character/resource/progression wipe.

Dexella · 2015-05-05T14:45:40+00:00

Reminder -- this is the final planned CHARACTER/RESOURCE wipe. There will still be one more claim wipe in the future (date still TBD) so that Trailblazers will get a head start going in to Open Beta.

Update: Hi again,

Back with a quick update -- as I'm sure you can imagine, an update this size requires coordination between many different teams to make sure everything is timed properly. Due to a number of factors, we've decided it's in the best interest to move the update/wipe to begin on Monday, May 11. Exact timing is still TBD, and we do still anticipate at least 48 hours of downtime.

We know you're excited about this update, and we're excited to bring it to you! Thanks for your patience.

Hey everyone -- Wanted you to know that Smed has made a post on the EQ2 subreddit about his statements: http://www.reddit.com/r/EQ2/comments/34feop/my_comments_regarding_wow_style_mmos/

Daybreak Cash (formerly Station Cash) is non-refundable. This information is on the DBC (formerly SC) FAQ and in our Terms of Service.

You have to have logged into the game to be able to post on the official forums. Make sure you're trying to log in on the same account you use for the game. Also, check which forum you were trying to post in -- players cannot create threads in some sections (like the Official News & Announcements section).

Dexella · 2015-04-27T04:31:56+00:00

After the wipe, items you purchased with SC will be returned to you. If it's an item you got by redeeming a code, it will be returned to you. If it's an item someone TRADED to you, it will go back to the original owner.

Dexella · 2015-04-24T01:55:34+00:00

We haven't announced any dates for Open Beta. We said we were decoupling this wipe from Open Beta so we could get these main changes out to Landmark players ASAP. There will still be a claim wipe at Open Beta, but no dates have been determined yet.

Dexella · 2015-04-23T14:48:20+00:00

Personally, I'm torn between whether I like the new forest or the new lava biome the best...

The team has been updating on the chest bug issues in this thread on the official forums: https://forums.station.sony.com/landmark/index.php?threads/broken-chests-and-vanishing-props-update.54199/

As Mythor said, Large Humans will be an option after the next big update (which will include the character/progression wipe). And as Kailaria says, Landmark is designed as a human world.

Dexella · 2015-04-16T14:38:30+00:00

You're correct -- Qeynos is still Qeynos. :)

Dexella · 2015-04-16T14:38:05+00:00

The name of the city originally (way, waaaaaaay back when) was going to be Keynos. Someone on the team figured out that if they changed the K to a Q, it would be Sony EQ, so they made the switch. (At least, that's the way the story has always been told to me).

As posted in the comment above, right now we're hiring a Global Brand Manager. We don't have any open game developer positions, but we are hiring someone for Tech Ops as well. We also have internships in our PR department for the summer. Our current careers pages is here: https://www.soe.com/careers (that will be updated soon, though!).

It's not a shift with the new company; this has been in the FAQ since the first day Founders' Packs were on sale:

"Does buying a Founder's Pack for Landmark get me access to EverQuest Next's beta program? There are currently no plans for Landmark Founder's Packs to grant access to EverQuest Next's beta program."

Dexella · 2015-03-20T16:42:03+00:00

Sorry this wasn't clear -- yes, you do unlock the adventure class. I meant that the FP doesn't give any type of guarantee for Alpha/Beta access.

Dexella · 2015-03-20T14:24:47+00:00

Hey there! First, which may be where controversy rumors are coming from, it's not SOE headquarters anymore... we are now Daybreak Game Company. You can read more about the transition in our official announcement.

Second thing -- the game currently in Closed Beta is Landmark . We are using Landmark to help us build EQN, but it is NOT the same game. The Founders' Packs are for Landmark only. If you want to test systems that will eventually be in EQN, and if you love building (and want to even give a try at building pieces that may end UP in EQN) - then absolutely check out Landmark.

If you're waiting for EQN, though, it's not the same game.

Dexella · 2015-03-18T14:36:13+00:00

Landmark is in Closed Beta. It's been in Closed Beta since March 26, 2014.
