SOE literally just released an MMO; Planetside 2. They just had a chance to innovate, take substantial risks, or deviate from the status quo MMO. They didn't. They released a re-skinned and tweaked Planetside 1. Why is anyone convinced EQ Next will be any different?

How would you explain to a boardroom full of MBA's that the key to a quality Everquest reboot entails a step away from the casual mechanics that they likely still believe actually attract casual players?

The second coming of MMO Jesus Christ isn't going to come from an established gaming company, but from an indie developer or startup company that has the clarity of purpose and industry acumen to release something new and fun.

I agree with you 100% that we can't get hyped for this game with out knowing who it caters too (not us)

But, I like and play Planetside 2 and it has the One of the best f2p systems out there.
