EverQuest Legends

Last time I supported an EverQuest game. Oops.

How's the pop and uptake? I unsubbed the discord after I didn't get into the beta. Project Gorgon is retro enough to tide me over until I see if Legends is sustainable.
 
Can I get a SoW!?—

-So that I can run faster to purchase this!

Everquest single player!? Just like 2002 when I was 12 and didn't understand how MMOs worked!
 
It was just one console generation too early. If PS2 had the online infrastructure that PS3 brought in it would've taken off for sure.

I don't know so much about that?
By the time PS3 came around, the MMO market was fully mature and had some other games ready for the cross play complete market (including DC Universe and FFXIV.) Also, the PS2 online infrastructure was stable enough to support FFXI.

I do agree that it always seemed like the console market was underfed by the MMO and that especially SOE's own games (even though there a different Sony from the PlayStation division) were right there yet kept holding off until it was almost too late. EQ on PS should probably been a much bigger force than it was.

EQOA was a silly-ugly game though, even if it was an MMO on resource-strained hardware. (It somehow didn't even require the hdd, that's wild.) I remember not being surprised that it didn't catch on.

I think the timing on this may be perfect I fire it up.

I'd like to do the beta but the data doesn't transfer to full version so I don't want to reroll.

Need to watch some videos to see how the experience is.
