$50 says EQ next will have Rift/GW2 type events in it. Seems to be the new norm getting away from the "!" or "?" NPC style gameplay.
Problem is what I lked about EQ1 won't ever be an option in a new game because when I started Kunark was already out and Velious soon after. So there was a lot of zone choices. Which meant for under used zones allowign some sort of gear distinction. New games everyone follows the same path, same gear sets, same quest paths. No real sense of being a nomad like EQ1 gave.
Having said that I do like features such as instances and dungeon finders for dungeons. Nothing worse than taking 1-2 hrs putting a group together then having to go.
In the end it's hard to please everyone, I may just have to rely on lore and old friends to make the game worthwhile
