I have to call BS on this...
As much as I am an SOE fanboi and want desperately for EQN to be ground breaking and awesome (I am going to Fanfaire just to see the unveiling) it is absolute BS to give them an award at E3 for showing the public nothing.
Its like Obama winning the Nobel Peace prize...even if you like him you know he didn't do crap to deserve it.
I will hand it to SOE for running one of the best publicity campaigns in MMO history...without even showing their product. Not only that...they have somehow managed to keep a lid on their black box. How they are doing it I have no idea...nothing stays secret for very long when you have that many people working on it for this long, especially now that they are expanding their team.
Smed knows how to build interest and sell a product...unfortunately, those are his best skills. I hope he can deliver on this hype.
