I would check it out, how long I would play cannot be guessed at this time. However, as others have stated, Im and old gamer and am not the target market for a new game. It just wouldnt hold up today.
That said, i liked what another poster said about some of the features could change. If the world is as big and dangerous as EQ, having in game maps isnt a big deal. That doesnt make finding your way through the maze any easier than looking at eqatlas was and its still a dangerous run through, not just run in a straight line back like modern games.
I do think there is a place in the game market for a hard, slowly progressing game like classic EQ, but so many of the design features(limitations?) that made it what it was, just cant exist today, so it just isnt likely to be possible to ever make a new EQ.
