While reading about the races of terminus i had an idea, i thought it was quite interesting, and decided to post about it so you guys could either endorse or destory.
The races which call terminus home where brought to terminus from other locations. How about if locations where also brought to terminus? I mean prestigious locations from eq and vanguard. Imagine exploring the wilds and stumbling across an old haunted estate? The estate of unrest. Or swimming in the depths of an ocean and discovering an abandoned keep taken over by strange sea creatures? Kedge keep.
I think it would be fun to see these names again, but maybe people want a completely new experience.
It would seem very strange if there were no Unique locations or landmarks on Terminus. I'm confident that there will be.
However Pantheon is not Everquest, so quite frankly I would be dissappointed if this game would just reinstall some names from another game into their own.
Again I highly doubt this will happen. The dev's are creative enough to craft unique lore and races in this game, I'm sure they will do the same with landmarks and locations across Terminus.
There might be mansions, ruins and keeps. They would (hopefully) not be called similar to Everquest but fit uniquely with the Legends, Tales and Myths that give Terminus it's own flavor.
I agree with the previous replies. Partly for ulterior motives. The more things are stolen outright from EQ or Vanguard the more VR is likely t think of this as an EQ remake and keep the same game mechanics.
Instead, I want the mechanics to represent the best things VR can do *today* for *today's* computers. Where that duplicates or builds upon EQ or Vanguard so much the better but in some cases it will be very different because the developers back then used mechanics that they may have hated just because that was the only thing feasible at the time. Those mechanics need to go.
There are, of course, trademark and copyright issues, as wildnightwolf correctly points out. If you violate the rules of even *one* country or state or province you have a problem you really do not need.

Might be nice if we got that updated map to even see what the most current locations are.
It's been said over and over that the current map is outdated...seems like a good September newsletter inclusion <3
