he says the game is going to flop because to his knowledge, nobody on this forum bought the game in under 24 hours
I just seen a screenshot of a 660 minute wait time
some of the stuff players make will be in everquest next
so they get free labour
I'm guessing landmark is going to be the player housing part of the game or something separate from the main game areas?

you call it free labour, I call it persistence. People want things like that to happen. stop being so negative nancy
guess this game is going to flop soon then
no one gives a **** lol
I know, they said basicly the same thing on a podcast I listen to, they just care about EQN. I do also, EQN: LM is just a way better minecraft. I hope LM doesn't skrew up EQN.
I'll probably buy into it at some point like when they add monsters purely because I can see my son enjoying this type of game and it's nice to play games with him sometimes.
we had a blast with minecraft.
I guess it's hard to go wrong with something like landmark unless the devs make some ridiculous decisions.
I hope the grind right now is only because there's so little content and they want people to be testing everything as much as possible
When I first heard about this I honestly thought landmark was the backend world builder tool that was going to be slapped on with everquest, but now it seems they've made a product out of it that stands by itself as well as being in EQN to build stuff? Still confused about their end game plans for it, I thought it was a builder that came out early for a bit of fun until it was added on to the actual game.
But paying for it (and not next) at those prices for something that'll be F2P, very clever.

I got impatient and opted for the Explorer pack so I managed to have a go at it last night.
The NDA has been lifted so I can happily say stuff about it but suffice to say, I like it, having never played Minecraft so I can't really compare. Nothing seems handed to you on a plate, you do have to work at it.
The Devs seem active and open about the existing flaws and yes it's buggy but you know, I'm actually looking forward to logging in tonight to have another go.

Speaking as a developer myself, an Alpha is probably the first version of the code that's ever compiled fully into an .exe If you think whats there is going to have minimal issues then you just blew 100.
cmon... it's a F2p game.
they are charging for alpha access that won't even give access to everquest next so we can assume another expense to get into the alpha of that.
they have a commitment to the customers even the features that are supposed to be there appear to be broken from the videos I watched.

seem to be repeating ourselves here, but that's the point of alpha. You want stable? wait for finished, should know the definition of these terms before committing to it, besides, they are happy to offer full refunds.
It's widely known that there's not a lot of room to lay down a claim right now, new servers coming soon.
So, what do you do if you have no claim and a bit of time?
This!
(you're not supposed to be able to build in unclaimed land but it works near the Spires )

Im curious, do you think everything should be f2p, which is new school OR nobody should invest in the development of a game but the devs no matter how interested they are, which is old school?
Just paid for march beta by which time some major issues should be sorted. Cost me all of 13 quid omgwowzamosh! Unlike most 'alphas' this clearly is one so weighing that against the point at which i reckon i would want a go, two months sounded good.
