A (water) floating city would be cool.
Of course! There are also going to be non-player races with cities.

EQ didn't really have an what I would call cities that weren't racial starting cities. I think Vanguard only had a couple when I played it, so I was speaking from that perspective.

Thats kind of a bummer....I remember back to my days on ffxi as a new player. Asking questions and learning about the game and people kept telling me "Wait till you get to Jeuno!"
Then I got to Jeuno....the big city...one of the major hubs for players to gather and form parties. Me barely surviving my journey to this city and seeing all these high level players in gear that was just amazing to look at, so many people in one city...not a rinky dink starting town but a place that felt so active with life where players from all over the game world had traveled to sell wares, or form parties, or recruit for guilds or whatever. I hope to see a major hub city(or cities) like this where all players head to in oder to perform business.

That must be a post PoP city. When did that city get introduced? Sounds like it could have been interesting.

Not everquest lol Final Fantasy 11
Way, way back in the early days there were thoughts to have 3 starting cities (good, neutral, evil). But for the past few years, they've said they're working on a starting city for each race. Even though it's a lot more work, it's worth it. The lore on the website tells you what each race's home is:
Archai - Su'Roa
Dwarf - Khadassa
Dark Myr - Syronai's Rest
Ogre - The Broken Maw
Human - Thronefast
Halfling - Sorhiryth (in Wild's End)
Elf - Faerthale
Gnome - Skyhold
Skar - Skargol
i am wondering if each class has his own starting area (city) how close together the will be.
reason for my question is the class race restrictions. Does this mean till lvl 10 you have solo stuff?
and after this some races will met together for grouping? Ok we will see.
hopefully these areas would not be dead after a while because its a lot of work to create these areas and the content in it.
Kilsin said:Yes I believe that will be the case. However my question still remains unanswered. Will the cities consist of more than one zone. As in eq1 freeport had 3 zones. qeynos had 2 zones I believe. and other cities had more than one zone. I am talking of the city itself. Not including sewers and dungeons inside the city. Just the city proper itself.Each Race will have their own starting city :)
One thing I am hoping, based on the video.....
In the most recent video of Thronefast, just about everything that you would go to a city for is packed into the "front quarter" of the city. They didn't really talk about it, but I am hoping that there is alot more depth to the starting cities and reasons to go "deep" into the starting cities. If everything can be handled in the "front quarters" of the starting cities, I can envision the starting cities being abandoned wastelands post levewl 20 or so. I don't want to see that happen given the size and lore of the game.
I would also like to see "class specific" stuff deeper into the cities. Again using the video as an example.
When you first go into the city, the "training" location for the Warrior classes is just inside the gates to the left. I am hoping that the Rogue training centers are hidden, the caster training centers are in "wizard towers", the healing casters are in "temples", etc.
I, personally, have no problem going 'deep" into a city to have to do things. That's part of what brings the city alive.
EQ didn't really have an what I would call cities that weren't racial starting cities. I think Vanguard only had a couple when I played it, so I was speaking from that perspective.
Maybe not original eq (there were villages/small places like HighHold) but not cities... But there were some with expansions. I only played until Luclin but I enjoyed Fironia vie and the velious cities

I know I am alone in this, but Thurgadin was one of my favorite Velious cities.

I don't think you guys have confirmed this yet. First I've seen it from you at least. So...awesome! I've seen people on YouTube asking if races shared starting cities so that's good to know.
We have mentioned this many times, in streams, on this website etc. as it was a major decision that was changed back in the early days when we were going to have just 3 starting cities and group 3 races together in each one. ;)

Have mentioned this before..just a wish of mine, a reason for high levels to return to their starter city, such as dungeons underneath...possibly even raid type dungeons. And that merchant row we saw in the livestream, would be yet another reason to return. things to do! :)
