It sounds good in theory, but I'm skeptical that it will work out as planned.
I don't have any experience with EVE, but i'm going off several other MMORPGs, and what i've found is that we are creatures of habit; we like having / doing the same thing over and over again, tweaked here and there, but so far, it's hard to imagine a game, similar but totally different. As much as people say everquest is difficult, how often do these same people go google what to do for quests, google the maps etc etc, of course, if you do it over and over again, that knowledge gets incorporated but I think the vast majority of players are actually very impatient - myself included. I think EQnext may be interesting in that vein, but let's see if it won't completely frustrate people after having years and years of something completely different.
Oh and i'm sick of people saying WoW is easy. High ranking pvp has to be one of most laborious and skillful game play I have ever come across in a MMORPG.

I feel like it's time for change. Even if you combine all the new ideas that are interesting and have come out in the last few years (public quests being the big one, but dungeon currencies is another example) you just cannot get a unique feeling MMO. The leveling grind is still pretty fun, but once you get to the high end it feels the same as every other MMO out there. FFXIV, Rift, WoW, SWTOR, even ESO/Wildstar/Tera... they all feel the same to me. I'm tired of playing the same game and getting the same result, which for me is a burnout at max level. I know I like ESO, but I am sure it will have similar issues end game that these other games do.
I know we're creatures of habit, but after 10 years of the same crap I'm feeling pretty ready for something new. It doesn't even have to be difficult or challenge whatever skills I have acquired over the years. I just want something different.
