Would you play an MMORPG in the spirit of classic EQ?

[Octave]

Project Gorgon is an MMO free to play (and no cash shop or any idea that there will be; it's in alpha) right now that takes a bunch of cues from Everquest as well as Asheron's Call and UO.

In a nutshell:

• No shitty tutorial
• No themeparks or npcs with questionmarks over their head.
• Group content from the start that's not instanced.
• Diablo-like random loot system where an upgrade is meaningful and not just a 1% stat increase.
• A sort of FFXI multiclass system: pick any two combat skill bars at a time.
• That stuff that makes it a world: vendors resell player loot, jumping in water puts out fires, drop items on the ground and they actually stay there.
• Crafting is actually useful.
• Dungeon Puzzles - because I guess some people like puzzles.
• Some other stuff that's just weird: progammable golem pets with if-then conditionals, using a shovel to bury corpses, calligraphy, cow form with cow armor and abilities.

The only thing missing is a painful death to non-bosses (bosses give curses that suck when you die to them. You must kill them to lift the curse).

Closest thing to old world EQ I've found.
