I don't think EQ Next will release before being outdated or replaced with a better version of the same game by a different company.

This. SOE has always been very slow developmentally, one of the slowest AAA houses in fact.

Other studios like Bethesda and any studio under EA really can take the best ideas and burn a game within 8 months. Many indie houses with the new Unity tools and other engine kits that are coming out can bring an MMO to market in 2 years or less.

Vaporware is vaporware. SOE specializes in vaporware.

Pantheon will see a launch. EQN is in the process of being dismantled and rebuilt for the 3rd or 4th time in 8 years.

EQN has already had a solid 7 year design cycle with no end in sight. They bullshitted their parent company Sony until they got kicked to the curb for having only 2 or 3 products in 15 years.
