    Good day!  One can only watch the same 3 hour videos so much. we are ready for another!  Could you make it an eight hour game play session this time?  That would great.

    I myself love the small amount of gameplay they have shown and I hope they don't show too much more. I would love to leave most of it up to us to find/figure out.

    We have stated that we will have a new stream in the works as soon as we can implement enough updates and changes to show progress, it won't be 8 hrs though and it won't be too far away either but no ETA as usual ;)

    I'm just wondering how heavily camped the Named from the streams will be, seeing as how we're being shown spawn location and what does/doesn't work :p

    People look at the streams and comment on them in the EQ and EQ2 forums - not always favorably. Far better to wait and show progress so that even people that aren't impressed can see that the trend is clearly towards making things better.

    So basically you're saying you've grinded the heck out of the new content and now you're bored, so you're asking for an expansion? Noted lol.

    I'm one to talk... I've watched all the streams tons of times. But the amazing thing is I still feel like I realize something new about them each time. I also realize there are more important things than having other people keep my attention span satisfied. Patience is a virtue ;P

    I'd rather wait 6 months between streams if it means new and great content each stream. Weekly or montly streams of the same ol' stuff would get boring. Plus spoil the game.

    I'd love to see one too, but as Kilsin stated, I want there to be valuable development progress for th team to show off. So here I am, waiting patiently.


    ... /cry

    Oh, looking forward to that, definately!  I'm kind of late to this party so still in the "can't get enough" stage. =)

    Eight hour...wow lol.  Not sure I could sit through that.  3 hours was good. :)

    The streams are one method of getting people to sub to the game.  If each stream brings in 15-20 more people, then that is good for the game.  Obviously they won't do streams every 2-3 weeks, but one every 6-8 weeks is fine.  I am guessing once alpha starts, they may stop entirely as well.

    I know, right?  Need a real comfortable chair!  It's one thing if you're playing but sitting there watching for HOURS ... yikes :)

    I just had a thought Kilsin. If you guys are going to keep doing streams occasionally and when Alpha/beta starts, why not have the community help you out with that to save some planning time. Instead of having a group of Devs stream, have the players stream with a guest Dev to answer questions. It would serve your purpose of having to plan one and just let your players tell the story, as the game should!

    I see what your saying, but if i had to guess, it may be a legal/image issue, if they are the only ones streaming the official content before the game is released they can control and protect said content. As opposed to if say a fan/player streams something containing a lot of swearing or what not that gets a lot of complaints they may be held responsible. Though admittedly my knowledge of the laws around such things is minimal, this would be my guess.

    When the game is released sure, but not while it is under strict NDA and in development my friend.

    When you get tired of watching the streams, it's time to watch them backwards at half speed. It's like a brand new stream, and twice as long. That's also where they hide all of the secrets.
