SoE seems to be great at spitting out online games that aren't really that good. Just because this has the Everquest name to it doesn't make me that much more excited.

It's probably gonna suck...

I'll keep playing EQ1 for a long time. I don't know what Next will be, but there is no way that my computer will be able to run EQNext.

A little underwhelmed to honest.

Was hoping for something more.

Wish I could find a legitimate way to get EQ Titanium in the UK and my MMORPG search would be over !

I admit I was dissipointed with the art style, it feels too cartoony it almost reminds me of DOTA 2, I always look at Everquest with a more Realistic look like Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age: Origins.

It's way too early to criticize the character design and such, but I'm not very fond of the bulky armors... It may look nice in WoW, but it feels out of place in EQ. Just like the Hero's forge armor in EQ1...

What they are rolling out this winter sounds like Minecraft in Norrath which is quite a departure from what I think of as EverQuest. Apparently this roll out is a precursor to EverQuest Next and there is much more to come, whatever that means. Reading about it did leave me wondering if this will wind up being like a traditional MMO at all with quests, instances and raids or if it will be a casual game more focused on building stuff and destroying it as well.

Anyway, because it has EverQuest in the name I did sign up for the beta as I'd like to see whatever it is first hand. There is almost no way I'll play it though if they don't support the Mac and I don't think they have any plans to do that. Too bad. I guess I'll just have to stick with WoW, LoTRO, DDO, GW2 and ESO when it arrives and I made a point of telling them so, not that they care probably.

Neato! It almost looks like a action hybrid similar to Diablo. I bet you're going to need a computer that hasn't yet been invented ;( +1 for the video.

What kind of name is Everquest Next? It is even worse than the name Xbox One.
Posted August 04, 2013
I'm pretty excited about this. The ability to build and destroy, the mob AI which has likes and dislikes, everything suggests a really dynamic world. The ability to build your character any way you want is nice too.

Entitled Everquest sounds like it would be awesome to play :P

When the version after it is released, the aforementioned game will be renamed "Everquest Past".

The Joystiq article does make the game seem interesting though.

Shouldn't Everquest Past mean the first Everquest :P
