Because not saying something is the new saying something.

A new SOE project is going to be announced Friday-ish and launch in August.

Once I know the magnitude of the damage, I'll edit the subject line to make it more relevant.

EDIT: To update the title to something more relevant.

WTG 1up.

Listing Pirates and G&H as their games.

And this is why the general public is mostly retarded. Because the people writing the news are mostly retarded.

By the way, my guess, something from the SOE Card Game Studio.

If I'm wrong, I want Diablo Online.

Prediction/guess: a small sci-fi or space MMO thingy with Second Life style UGC. And ice cream.

I'm guessing it's a mini-MMO, an SOE version of Dungeon Runners or Toon Town. If they are sensible.

If they are insane, it's the DC MMO.

Or the post-alpha version of Vanguard?

I'm thinking free to play browser-based EQ1 in a browser. Started two years ago pre-WoW pre-NGE backlash post-it's-all-about-Korea would be about right.

Hm.  I'm wondering if you forgot s o m e t h i n g?  Hoping so, at least.

Every article says "brand new game"...Would a browser based EQ1 be considered a brand new game?

Every article says brand new game because that's what the PR said. The more important part is where it said that it hadn't been seen before. Which is to say, it's most likely not EQWeb.

remember how they moved some of the vangaurd guys over to a "Sekret" project? Maybe this is it? I doubt those guys would want to be involved in a toon town type thing.

Why not EQ3? It's plausable.

Yeah, but it is about as diablo as you can get right now, needs more stuff thoe, i agree. But i have been enjoying it. Even got my girl to play with me... she usealy sticks to console games.

This part from the article confuses me...

"Also available will be a sneak peek at the new Everquest 1 and 2, for those of you still playing EQ."

WTF? New everquest? I am guess its just a bad choice of words, and they are speaking about expansions.

Everquest was around for about 5 years before EQ2 came out. EQ2's been out for what? 3 years? Announcing it now, 2 years of development would = 5 years. Seems logical to me. I don't even think it would be that bad of an Idea considering how much better EQ2 has gotten lately. I don't think it's likely... but it's certainly possible

Rumor has always been floating about that they were going to publish Stargate Worlds.  Possible that's the big announcement?

Stargate Worlds will not be out in August. It won't be out in August... 2008 either. Maybe not even 2009.

Maybe they're adding collision detection to SWG?

If it had collision detection, it'd have a whole lot more....

My guild leader won one of the four "player of the year" awards so he is being flown out to Vegas tomorrow on SOE's dime. So we will all get the info as soon as it's released at the fan fair. I think he also gets a few beta invites for what ever it is as well. Interesting to note that of the four people selected as player of the year 2 were from SWG, only one from EQII and one from Planetside.

It's got to be Smed's latest pet project, post-Sovereign. You know, the super lite, casual gaming friendly, collect em all cutesy big-eyed cartoon furry womanimal, cheap embedded flash, with dancing and dating minigames, no barrier to entry, learning from korea, soccer mom's delight, free to download, extradextra asian friendly, and (most importantly) station exchange enabled real money trading juggernaut that he's been talking up for the past year or so. For windows and PS3!

When the news comes out, I expect about 1000 "meh" replies to this thread. Don't let me down, dudes!

So the 4 players who are left in SWG can count on this honor each year? SWEEEET!
