New MMORPG to EverQuest is supposed to be a modern reboot for Part 1, one detail makes skeptical

It’s time for our MeinMMO format “MMORPG News in Two Minutes.” We summarize the most important news from the best genre in the world. Look forward to an update on EverQuest 3, new content for Aion Classic, the launch of Corepunk, and much more.

The highlights of the week:

What else has happened? The new MMORPG Corepunk started its Early Access this week. The preliminary verdict of many fans is positive as they enjoy the old-school gaming experience. Also cool: Once you reach the current maximum level of 20, you earn real money currency instead of leveling up for the fair in-game shop.

Gameplay from the freshly started Early Access MMORPG Corepunk:

The Largest Update for Aion Classic is Live

This is what happened in the big MMORPGs:

This is what happened in the smaller MMORPGs:

  • The German developers of CipSoft continue to clean up in their MMORPG Tibia. This time, a character that ranked high in the global leaderboard was caught. The developers have since commented on the account penalties and announced subsequent reviews of the deletions (via tibia.com).
  • The game RuneScape, released in January 2001, is one of the largest and most successful MMORPGs in gaming history. The classic “Old School” version has now achieved an impressive record.
  • On eveonline.com, the developers of Eve Online presented the changes from the Revenant update. Expect tactical mercenary operations, and you currently need to defend the Deathless facilities.
  • This week, a new event and a fresh raid boss went live on the servers of Tarisland (via tarisglobal.com), and the developers have published a roadmap for December 2024 (via X).
  • The developers of EverQuest have released a preview of the update “The Outer Brood” (via everquest.com), which is set to launch next week.
  • Embers Adrift is currently Free2Play, as the developers lost an important partner. An update regarding the planned move to Steam was recently shared on the official Discord (via mmorpg.com): The new product page should be almost ready and – according to the plan – go live over the weekend.
  • A major update for Lineage 2M is set to release on December 1, 2024, which will bring a new class (Twin Axes), a fresh dungeon, and a pet system (via mmorpg.org.pl).
  • Aion Classic has received its largest update yet with 3.0. “The Path of the Brawler” raises the maximum level to 60, introduces the class of brawler, and offers various new challenges (via gameforge.com).
  • On the legendary servers of Angmar and Mordor in Lord of the Rings Online, the Mines of Moria will open on December 4, 2024 (via YouTube).

This is what happened with MMORPGs in development:

  • The MMORPG Ashes of Creation shows no mercy to cheaters even in Alpha and deletes 100 characters.
  • According to a post by the developers, work on the MMORPG Eternal Tombs has progressed well this year. They plan to start the next testing phases at the end of February or early March 2025 (via eternaltombs.com).
  • The EverQuest announced in September 2023 is apparently not going to be EverQuest 3, but rather a kind of reboot for the first part (via mmorpg.org.pl), with modern graphics and updated gameplay. In an interview, the developers state (via YouTube) that EverQuest 2 has been a kind of curse for the first part because many players switched to the new MMORPG. They want to prevent this next time. Apparently, the project is still in the concept phase 14 months after the announcement (!) and there is not even a prototype.

That summarizes the most important events that have recently happened in the world of MMORPGs.
