Mmm, I don't think Everquest was great solely because it was innovative. At first that had a lot of impact, but I think a lot of what happened later was because of the difficulty. By 'difficulty' I mean the harsh death penalty, other time sinks, the need to group up, and the LONG grind to max level.
I have no idea what Pantheon will be like. There's a good chance it will fail, but that could be said about any new mmo. I think Pantheon will capture a certain niche market and if they can make that work financially then they will do fine. I certainly plan on playing it.
