My take is that this could be very cool, although it won't be much like EQ as we know and love it (morons, they don't recognize a winning formula when they have it).
What I FEAR and suspect is that it will be overly wowified. Player chars will be too powerful, death too inconsequential, travel too easy, weapons and shoulders too big, special effects overdone and everything just a little bit too cartoony.
They know nothing of subtlety. I saw them ruin Vanguard because of this. This will go the same route I imagine.
Still, I am more interested than I thought I would be, though the graphics style is a huge turnoff for me.
