The source code for the site is :

This is a puzzle. The only thing that can be taken from this is:

Ok, after looking at the 2nd picture, I personally think it's for the RTS that they announced plans for a long time ago.

The models are very low poly; the 2nd picture reminded me of Warcraft III as soon as I saw it.

Coincidence? I think not.

NPCs are all in the same positions, with identical or similar class/race/sex.

I still say it's a new RTS.
Ramsus

So.. is the new RTS using the War3 graphics engine?

This definately has something to do with warcraft.. or that's one hell of a coincidence.

Someone mentioned 10 spell slots and 9 group members. Will it happen? I dunno. Lots of guesses.

What's RTS?
Kalthanan

RTS = Real Time Strategy, ala Command and Conquer, Warcraft, Starcraft, etc.

New picture up.

And the front page http://www.everquest.com now has a countdown, which will expire in a little over 2 hours. I guess our announcement is coming.

If that screenshot isn't of a RTS, then I don't know what is. It looks like every RTS that I've played.

i think it might be a rts online game where its almost eq where u are a person and u group with other ppl but u get to kill ppl / mosters / buildings just like the warcraft game. my 2cp, yo.
Kalthanan
04-16-2003, 09:08 AM
Yep. And the announcement should be about 2 hours from now (for real this time.)

That was rather boring. If they are going to do a countdown, the least they could do is make a change when the timer stops.

Yeah, big oops on their part.

Here's the link to the new page: http://lordsofeverquest.station.sony.com/index.jsp

It's called Lords of Everquest, and as we predicted, it's an RTS produced by Rapid Eye Entertainment.

All I have so say is WoW Sony could you be anymore unorginal? Oo Look look it's a Eq version of Warcraft. Oh how nice. Man who every come of with these things should go back his cubical and try to think on of something more unique. Then I might send my time playing it. Until then I agree with Ramsus comment of "yawn".

Ramsus beat me to the yawn comment. I tried Warcraft and became bored with it after a couple days. Can't say I see myself spending time playing this one.
