This is off topic. In fact there're a lot of topics in Server Chat that're off topic. Anyway, EverQuest Next looks to be more of a concept than an actual game. But I wouldn't be surprised if somebody was working on it with the intent of making it an actual product. And curiously, many of the people who're in these forums taking shots at it will end up playing it, at least for a while, if and when it comes out.
All mmorpgs get old. Most companies, if not all of them, recoil from the old and run to something new. I think most people in this world instinctively do that. By choosing to run away from the old, they commit it to a more rapid death. So the game gets worse and worse as they run faster and faster away from it. The only saving grace is the next game they have coming out when the old one falls away. If they stopped making new ones, they'd have to keep up the ones they already have, but it doesn't appear to ever be likely. It's human nature.
When a game dies, it's a slow death, not a quick one. It's not always obvious.
WoW will suffer the same fate, as will all the other games.
Don't get lost in the details; the trees. The truth is we're all biased to favor what's new.
So it goes.
Psalm 23:4:
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow...
of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
...Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."
Don't know why I thought of that. Just did.
