EQ Next - Some Forums Removed

Recommended Posts

This post from Massily Overpowered.net explains what has happened in March to the Forums. Regretably, the great discussions and sub-forums that were the primary place I went to for current info and ideas are removed, with some archiving that took place. But with only 1 primary forum where people can post, the feel of things is very constrained. For the time being.

EverQuest Next ditches lore and general discussion forums

March 13, 2015

Assuming that there will be a wealth of lore and backstory in EverQuest Next, you won’t be finding out about it on the official forums.

Daybreak announced yesterday that it is shutting down both the lore and general discussion forums for EverQuest Next as part of its “corporate realignment.” This leaves the upcoming fantasy title with only three sub-forums on the official site: News, Style Guides, and Workshop, only the last of which allows players to start threads. Threads in the other forums have been temporarily archived until March 31st for players to copy if so desired. Two forums now reroute players directly to Twitch and Reddit.

EverQuest Next isn’t the only game to get its forum support slashed; EverQuest II lost several sub-forums last week. Over in the Landmark forums, Daybreak rep Dexella posted,

Dexella has also clarified on Twitter that “lore threads are being moved to News/Announcements for now. They’re not gone.”

You should still be able to start threads in The Workshop over on EQN. If not, let us know. There isn’t a General Gameplay Discussion forum right now because, well, on EQN there is no General Gameplay. Reddit is an open discussion forum if you want to use it. We’ll still be checking/posting with The Workshop and we will likely be adding discussions to News & Announcements as we have more to share as well. The EQN forums will grow as we get closer to players actually being able to touch the game.

As for Landmark, we’ve made all the changes we have planned structure wise. The maintenance will take place tomorrow, and then we should be set here. We did link to the Landmark reddit here too, if people are interested in it.
