Maybe secrets was thinking it was eqn alpha? Instead of landmark alpha?
As ute put it. It's the map editor for starcraft. If you didn't enjoy designing detailed maps then landmark isn't for you. I loved starcraft, but hated the map editor. Don't be mad at them for your preference.

No, I am well aware this is EQNext: Landmark. What it isn't, though, is EverQuest. I still think they should've just called it "Landmark" as this title doesn't really have anything to do with the EQ franchise.
The direction they are going is catered to the casual player who has nothing but time and wants a stress-free, no-strings-attached gaming experience. There's only reward and no risk. If this is the direction SOE wants to go with their games I am very skeptical of it having any sort of metagame (learning to play your class, strategies such as quad kiting, etc) like EQ1 inside of EQNext based on EQNext: Landmark.
To call this a map editor is far from the truth; If it was the SC2 map editor, you'd have all the tools available and wouldn't have to play a minigame to use them. This is just a way to capitalize on casual players from other markets. I do not see anything that impresses me now (besides the tech), or for that matter, anything that I have read that is planned.
There is nothing "EQ" about this game. I hope EQNext when it's out in Alpha surprises me and they actually listen to their customers and innovate - but more importantly, LISTEN.
Otherwise, there's always Pantheon.
