I am not sure how much of this is true, but from this article, I was disappointed:
Quote:
Everquest Next had two pre-production builds proposed.
one build was extensive with a large budget of 100 million dollars. It was Everquest on steroids, thats its nickname around the water cooler.
the other build proposal is extremely casual. Its known around the cooler as everquest invades farmville. its budget is very small, 20 million dollars.
the farmville version was approved.
in addition, more cuts are coming within SOE. Several hundred subcontract workers have 6 month contracts expire december 31st. They will not be renewed
basically the team that was working on the Everquest on Steroids build lost the contest and is being let go
