I try to avoid most SOE games mainly because of the Cash Shop. SOE likes to nickel and dime ya on exp potions, faction potions, fancy looking armor, mounts, etc, etc. If I Sub a game I expect that stuff to be automatic threw quests and much better than what you can buy. I personally don't see EqNext doing any thing in the MMO market.

I love the F2P with a micro transaction shop option. That's how all games are going anymore, it's the new scheme. They make a lot more options, and it gives the players much more of an option, as to what they get for their money, as opposed to a sub based game. I'd like to believe WoW is the last sub pased game we'll ever see.

Also, you don't HAVE to buy any of those things, and a lot of them are just things to speed up your leveling process, or cosmetic things.
